#5 partclone.ntfs doesnt know --no_check even though the help shows such option

[sebastian333]

Hello,

i have to restore an image made with partimage through Clonezilla from a broken 500GB HDD to a 180GB SSD. I already was able to edit the geometry so that the correct partitions are created by clonezilla and CZ doesnt cry anymore. Only partimage makes trouble because it stops. The partition is too small it claims. I should use param -C.

So i located partimage on clonezilla live cd and checked the options. I tried it with
partclone.ntfs -r -d -s sdc.ntfs-ptcl-img.uncomp.aa -o /dev/sdc2
When i start this i get the message i should open the logfile for error. And in the file the error from before is written. Then i tried adding the option -C (upper case). But the same error happens. And when i try to add --no_check instead it tells me that this option doesnt exist. It shows me the help then and exactly this option is written there.

So it looks like this option is faulty. The clonezilla live cd uses partimage 0.2.59.

The IRC-Chat is empty too on irc.freenode.net. And the manual shows --nocheck above the optionslist. In the options list --no_check. Anyway... i tried all and nothing works.

I hope theres a solution. I sit at this restore since days.

Thanks!
Sebastian

I just reply to https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_live/thread/3e59a776/, it's same question?

did you mean -C option was not working? did you receive message like "Target partition size(xxx MB) is smaller than source(xxx MB). Use option -C to disable size checking(Dangerous)" before?

I will check option C and could you give more error message, partition size and saved_partition size.

Thank You.

Yes, i got this errormessage. And the option -C has no effect. Option --no_check shows an errormessage that this option is unknown. It shows then the help and exactly this option is shown there. Under synopsis: http://partclone.org/usage/partclone.php it shows an option --nocheck but that doesnt work either.

The partition sizes are:
1 - 104.9MB used 25.6MB (Restores normal because its the same size than original)
2 - Old partition was 489,264MB, new one is 172,423MB
3 - Old partition was 7,517MB, new one is 10,738MB

The last 2 are failing.

In case the option no check gets repaired... how can i use it? I only use Live-CDs and would like to sell the Notebook i want to put the SSD into.

Any new info on that?
