Is it possible to do a hardware snapshot from clonezilla then run vgimportclone on the new hardware snapshot to change the UUIDs to make it bootable? Or would this still require a mod to grub and the fstab table? Thanks

I will try your method tonight and report back.

Steven, Any insight as to why it throws an error when you try to restore an image created from an LVM partition to a non LVM partition? I would assume partclone would only "see" the partition on the LVM as a normal partition, and then when restoring it would be able to just put it back there. One thing I seemed to see was because the image file saves the partition table the restore side of the program was running into hiccups, I saw it searching for partition p1,p2,p3, when it shouldnt have even...

It only seems to want to restore if the disk is setup with identical partitions. I cant seem to copy the LVM to its own partition and let it run as suggest here: http://daniel-albuschat.blogspot.com/2008/02/converting-lvm-to-normal-partition.html

Hi, I am having trouble cloning an LVM partion to a non LVM partion. Currently my process is to image just the LVM partion using dd, then attempt to restore the image to the non LVM partion. Right now I am getting the corrupt .. /tmp/ file errors as the new partion name does not match the old partion name and acts like the image is corrupt. I am getting it to upload now, using the dd expert option, but had to modify my partion table to match the old LVM drive settings. I am going to attempt again...
