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.
