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.
