Rescuezilla Cloning from Source: external HDD (connected via USB) to Destination: internal SSD error

[Anonymous]

Hi,

In Rescuezilla, when I try to clone my external HDD (connected via USB) to my internal SSD (both are Win 10), on selecting my external HDD as the source and clicking NEXT, I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/rescuezilla/handler.py", line 601, in next_tab
self.source_drive_metadata_only_image = MetadataOnlyImage(self.clone_source_drive_key)
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/rescuezilla/parser/metadata_only_image.py", line 138, in init
drive_state_partitions_dict = self.drive_state[self.long_device_node]['partitions']
KeyError: 'partitions'

Speedy resolution much appreciated.

Thanks,

K

That is clearly a bug in Rescuezilla v2.4.1 (and it won't have been fixed in v2.4.2).

Rescuezilla users were against the idea of an automated error reporting system that would allow me to identify such issues when they occur, and I haven't yet implemented a manual error reporting system.

This will be easy to solve with the log file, but very difficult to reproduce without it.

You can get the log file by opening a terminal and launching Rescuezilla with /usr/sbin/rescuezillapy > /home/ubuntu/Desktop/log.txt, then copying the log file from the Desktop either to a USB stick or using the web browser and uploading it. You can also email the log file to rescuezilla at gmail.

Sorry I can't be of more help here. Until I've fixed the issue impacting your particular hard drive environment, you likely won't be able to use Rescuezilla to clone your drives.
