The 2nd option "-z" should overwrite the 1st one. We will try to remove the 1st one in the future.

Something went wrong. clonezilla-live-3.3.1-35-amd64.iso comes with Partclone 0.3.45. Why you still have partclone 0.3.27? That's very old version of Partclone. Please make sure that.

I used clonezilla-live-20260220-questing-amd64.iso and clonezilla-live-3.3.1-35-amd64.iso if I use -q1 i.e dd , I am getting 168GB/s, but -q2 i.e partclone, I am getting 26GB/s.

I am using clonezilla-live-20260220-questing-amd64.iso in batch mode, when i Use -q1 i.e dd mode, it created following command, it sending buffer size twice, i.,e "-z 10485760" and "-z 16777216", can you fix this in next release Running: partclone.dd -z 10485760 -N -z 16777216 -L /var/log/clonezilla//partclone.log -s /dev/nvme3n1p1 --output - | zstd -c -T0 -3 > "/home/partimag/e8ea6adfda21eae-2026-0306-0409af-img/nvme3n1p1.dd-ptcl-img.zst" 2> /tmp/img_out_err.Jp9BSt Thanks, Srinivasa

Hi, Which version of Clonezilla live did you use? Have you tried Clonezilla live 3.3.1-35 or 20260220-questing? https://clonezilla.org/downloads.php You can try to enter expert mode and check the option "-edio" of Clonezilla. If you run partclone directly, try to add the option "--read-direct-io".

Hello, I am using the latest Clonezilla to create a backup image (using partclone option), I tried all possible options of clonezilla, but I am getting only 26GB/min max speed. Is there any way to improve the speed?I even tried to increase buffer size input to parclone, but it did not help.partclone command sample from clonezilla.log Running: partclone.ext4 -z 671088640 -N -L /var/log/clonezilla//partclone.log -c -s /dev/nvme4n1p2 --output - | zstd -c -T0 -3 > "/home/partimag/e8ea6aa21eae-2026-0305-0506-img/nvme4n1p2.ext4-ptcl-img.zst"...

Thanks. I'm working on recovery from a system failure, but will try that when I can. (Being 81 years old, some stuff goes more slowly than I remember.....) -- Kevin O'Gorman (he/him/his) Explore, enjoy and protect the environment.

Oops, I missed your reply asking for more information. I use the partclone in Ubuntu. I do not use clonezilla. I use partclone as part of a larger script of my own making, so I did not think clonezilla would be helpful. -- Kevin O'Gorman (he/him/his) Explore, enjoy and protect the environment.

Thanks for the links. But I am unsure how to proceed I downloaded the git repo. I didn't see instructions on building. I'm on Xubuntu (debian-based). I looked at your link to a binary one, but was also unsure how to proceed with that -- would a binary work on my system (AMD64), and if so, which of the several things tagged 0.3.36 should I be using? Is clonezilla a standalone? I want something I can write scripts for, and run on my server without taking it down. I will look into it a bit more, but...

Thanks for your feedback. Please use the latest Partclone 0.3.36: https://github.com/Thomas-Tsai/partclone You can find the binary one here: https://free.nchc.org.tw/drbl-core/pool/drbl/unstable/partclone/ Or try to use Clonezilla live >= 3.2.1-19: https://clonezilla.org/downloads.php Steven

I don't see any activity on this. It continues to be a problem, so I gathered a bit more information, using a more up-to-date OS. I hope this in enough info to help narrow down what you need to look for. The OS (as reported by /etc/os-release (in part) PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS" VERSION="24.04.2 LTS (Noble Numbat)" The version of partclone in use as reported by partclone.ext4 -v Partclone : v0.3.27 (0882b2de94f05d3ad81304872cbd3dff02105239) The command I'm using: partclone.ext4 --clone --rescue...

Thanks @steven_shiau . My LTS versions (Ubuntu) only go up to 0.3.17. The new LTS should come out soon, and I'll try again.
-
The latest Patclone is 0.3.27, and the version 0.3.13 you are using is too old. I suggest you try to boot Clonezilla live 3.1.2-22, and use the partclone on it. https://clonezilla.org//downloads.php Steven

I'm on Ubuntu Focal (20.04.6 LTS) trying to back up my RAID partition. The partition mounts just fine, and passes fsck. I'm using partclone v0.3.13 because that's what is in this distribution. The partition is unmounted when I attempt the backup, and here's the relevant part of lsblk -o +fstype output: sda 8:0 0 16.4T 0 disk linux_raid_member └─md127 9:127 0 32.8T 0 raid5 └─md127p1 259:0 0 32.8T 0 part ext4 sdb 8:16 0 16.4T 0 disk linux_raid_member └─md127 9:127 0 32.8T 0 raid5 └─md127p1 259:0 0...

Which version of Partclone did you use? Have you tried the one in Clonezilla live 3.1.2-9 environment? Steven

Partclone makes zero progress backing up my RAID partition
-
You did not show the partclone you run. Please show that so that we can try to reproduce this issue. Steven
-
I cannot make partclone back up my MDADM RAID -- it just hangs forever (or until I interrupt it a day later). See the issue at https://askubuntu.com/questions/1503792/partclone-what-am-i-doing-wrong

Thomas posted a comment on ticket #12
Hi, What's the difference between partclone.dd and partclone.imager? Partclone.imager saves partitions as partclone images, specially formatted archives designed for efficient storage and manipulation. Some filesystems are not supported by partclone. We still have a chance to do a backup and save to the same format. For details on the partclone image format, see the official documentation: https://partclone.org/usage/partclone.restore.php
-
Partclone.imager man page is lacking information about --clone and --rescue.

Hi, I have no idea for Just mention we also mount the ISO image on partition sda8 while re-imaging. If your sda8 is mounted, that would make partclone fail. Following your test result, all partitions clone successfully, so the problem may be with other utilities. Check your script 'partclone-image', memory, and available space.

When we are trying to upgrade a system OS from SLES11 -> SLES15 and trying to execute below command through script fails with disk IO ERROR: We have partitions from partitions from sda1 to sda9 and we hit this ERROR while processing only "sda8".
