Ntfs volumes that are captured on a 4k native disk with 4k logical sectors cannot be read from Windows when restored to a 512b disk.
The test is simple. Capture an ntfs volume on a 4k native drive and restore it to a 512b drive. Windows sees the volume as raw and not ntfs.
I believe this has something to do with the volume sector size and mft record size still being 4k. Is there anyway for Partclone to adjust these values, or is it something tha't just can't be changed with a block imaging utility?
Ntfs-3g has no problem reading the volume after it's restored. It's just a Windows thing.
Thanks
