dd is successful.
I can't imagine what the hardware issue would be as: the source drive boots fine the target drive's properties are identical to the source drive's the clone operation appears to complete successfully But thanks anyway. I'll try a dd.
Still no change. Still same error. Evidently a bug.
I decided to pre-format the target drive with fdisk. Clone now in progress, will take several hours.

I decided to pre-format the target drive with an mkfs. Now Clonezilla does not recognize the target drive at all.
The target drive is identical to the source drive -- same make, model, and capacity.
Test performed with 3.0.0-22. No change. Same error.

Will do.
There's not one partition which shows legitimate contents. With one exception, all display "unknown filesystem". The exception is: ls (hd0,gpt3)/grub which returns: error: file '/' not found. which is the same as the error when attempting to boot. hd0 is the internal hard drive of the system, containing Windows 10. I'm attempting to boot from hd1, an external USB containing linux.
Every "ls" gives "Filesystem is unknown". e.g. ls (hd0) (hd0): Filesystem is unknown. ls (hd0,gpt1) (hd0,gpt1): Filesystem is unknown. ls (hd0,gpt2) (hd0,gpt2): Filesystem is unknown. ls (hd1) (hd1): Filesystem is unknown. ls (hd1,gpt1) (hd1,gpt1): Filesystem is unknown. ls (hd1,gpt2) (hd1,gpt2): Filesystem is unknown. etc.

After disk-disk clone of a USB using Clonezilla 2.8.1-12-i686, attempt to boot target USB receives: error: file '/' not found. Entering rescue mode... grub rescue>
I re-cloned just the boot partition, and was then able to boot from the target clone drive. Happy for the resolution, but why would this be necessary?
I'd been cloning an external USB source drive, and booting from the clone to confirm the success of the clone. The source drive contained Opensuse 42. However, after upgrading the source drive to Opensuse 15, I'm no longer able to boot from the clone. It stops at grub. Clonezilla is current at 2.7.2. Any similar experiences?
