Hi Steven, Thank you for your response. Finally I got my hands on the server. I booted it from the Clonezilla live flash drive, chose the shell option, and then: Issued the lsblk command, which displayed as follows: [cid:image001.png@01DAADE0.22CDE790] Created a mount point and tried mounting the most important to me sda 3 partition. The result was like: [cid:image003.png@01DAADE0.51492A80] That is the question: does it all mean the Clonezilla has some problems with LVM? What would you recommend...

Hi Steven, And thank you once again for your support. I really believe that the data is there and can somehow be retrieved. However when I try booting I do not see the partition, which is supposed to be there – and that is the largest partition on the disk (about 940GB out of the total 1TB). Now even it was there, I have no idea how to retrieve the data from the virtual machine storage… I really hope you would be able helping me to make the drive bootable – so that I will have it functional. Now...

Hi Steven, Thank you for your response - I am so sorry messing up with your travel. It is just that I left without the system that contained the results of 8-months effort... In fact, I have rebuilt initrams - and it did not change anything. The symptoms stay exactly the same.

Hello Steven, I am so sorry to bother you - however I am in the state of disaster right now and desperately need your help. The thing is that while I was looking for a way to create a bootable / working clone of my Linux system, my7 primary (and only!) hard drive suddenly died on me - being used for just about 8 months (!). Anyway I am left with the clone, which would not boot and I have no idea what can I do about it. What I noticed is that despite the original system contained the following set...

Hello Steven, the situation worsened dramatically: in addition to inability booting from the clone my original disk died on me... and now I have neither the system I invested almost 9 months into, nor the clone to continue using. I have attached the journal file I exported in the emergency mode if someone believes it is helpful, Thank you so much! Mike
-
Hi Steven, Thank you for your assistance, but it still seems like the clone is unusable... I cannot make it bootable - and the problem is I cannot find any information for how to resolve the problem despite that it is certainly the most frequently used procedure. I downloaded the latest clonezilla, which created a clone disk seemingly OK, but the symptom persisted. I am attaching the screenshots I made in the rescue mode for the clone and - the similar - for the source system. I cannot find any differences...
-
Hi Steven, I followed your suggestion and downloaded the latest clonezilla 3.1.2-22. I used it to re-create the system disk clone. The process finished seemingly successfully, not raising any alarms nor ringing any bells :) The following attempt to boot the system from the clone failed in the same manner as it did before. It took me to the emergency mode, where I have no idea how to fix the problem. Could you come up with any ideas regarding why it happens and how to resolve it? The disk itself seems...
-
I did disk to disk clone. Then I tried several things: 1. I removed the original disk, replaced it with the clone and attempted booting from it, which failed taking me to emergency mode. 2. I removed the clone, rebooted the system from the original disk and then inserted the clone. The system did not even "notice" it.
-
It seems like no one is willing to help me in this case. As a result the cloned disk gets absolutely worthless: I can neither boot from it nor even see it when insert into a slot while the system is already running. I cannot believe I am the first person ever facing this problem! Guys share your knowledge please!
-
I would also like to add one more symptom (looks strange to me at least). When I insert the clone disk while the system is running - being booted from the source disk - the system does not even see it. Should it be like this? Thank you!

Cannot boot from a cloned Linux with KVM
-
Hello everyone, OK, here I am upon seemingly (and hopefully) successful disk cloning. Now I was trying to boot the system replacing the system disk with the newly made clone - and it failed miserably taking me into the emergency mode. The system Is Rocky Linux (which serves as a KVM-based virtual host for a secondary OS). I would like to understand what could go wrong and whether I need to do any changes to that clone in order to make it bootable - and how to make those changes. Thank you everyone...
-
It seems like I resolved my problem by changing the disk label type from "loop" (the disk arrived with) to the "gpt". Now the Clonezilla is running... Best regards to everyone, Mike

Hello everyone, I am new to this software (actually am first-time user) so sorry for the ignorance... OK, I have a Linux (Rocky Linux 9.2) - running server, which in turn uses KVM to run a guest OS. Now I would like to create a system disk clone. I have a system disk in the server's first slot and the destination disk in the third one: What is strange that when I issue the lsblk command, the disks' names seem to mismatch, i.e the disk in the first slot is named sdb, while the one in the third slot...

This is how the Disks window looks when I leave only the clone inserted..,
-
Thank you! I will try to read your recommendations carefully and follow them. However I would like to clarify some misconceptions. 1. The system is pretty new - it has been installed in October 2023 (if I am not very accurate, it could have been Septmber or November). Therefore the abundance of the "remnants" still looks strange. 2. The second disk you can see in the SDD1 to SDD3 screenshots is an unrelated HDD. It is present on the system, occupies the second slot (hence being sdb) but is unused...
-
Thank you fr the response! I am still confused (sorry - all this is really new to me, so that I have to learn each and every step from scratch :( :() As far as I could understand I have to edit the clone's /etc/fstab file replacing the currently present UUID's copied from the source HDD, with the actual UUID's belonging to the clone disk. Now what I did was booting from the Resquezilla flash drive and looking into the relevant (as I understand it) information on the clone disk. What I found is: the...

Hello, and thank you for your detailed response. It's been several days since I received it - and unfortunately I was so busy with another projects that could not return to it. That is today I would like to try fixing the things. However - since I am new to this, I might (and most certainly, will) ask stupid questions, sorry! As far as I understood I have to reboot the Resquezilla, mount the root partition as R/W and fix the fstab file. I am a bit confused because you said one would need to remove...
-
I downloaded t5he latest Resquezilla and created the system disk clone of my Rocky Linux 9,2 system. When the clone was ready I simply swapped the disks attempting to boot from the clone... and then back to the original. As a result, I am facing a serious trouble: both the clone and the source(!!!) do not want to boot claiming problems and ending up in the emergency mode. The problems claimed are: - x86/CPU: SGX disabled by BIOS - i8042: can't read CTR while initializing i8042 - integrity: Problem...
-
Actually the problem looks even stranger. Even when I removed the SDB HDD from the slot, and the brand new HDD (which is intended to become an image repository) is seen by the Clonezilla, it does NOT appear on the list presented for the image location selection.
-
Hi everyone! I am the first-time Clonezilla user and therefore am probably confused by the minimalistic and (as it looks to me) obscure language the program is using. First of all it discovers all my discs - I have three of them: sda, sdb and sdc. My goal is to create the sda image and save it on sdc. However when it comes to the device selection there are only sda1, sda2, sdb1 and sdb2. It seems it does not allow me to create the image on sdc... or am I missing anything? Are there any more or less...
