Hi List,

Sorry if this question has been asked before, we are unable to search the list 
archives.  Apologies for the long post.

We're using clonezilla-1.1.0-8 on Centos5 with the following filesystems:

Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/md0               5080728   1729984   3088488  36% /
/dev/md1             893093512    413656 846581388   1% /vz

and /dev/md2 is used as swap.

These are made up of 4 x 320GB disks (sda, sdb, sdc, and sdd), on top of which 
we have configured with Software RAID as:

==========<snip>==========
/dev/md0:
     Raid Level : raid1
     Array Size : 5245120 (5.00 GiB 5.37 GB)
   Raid Devices : 2

We are trying to save images of the 4 disks.  When we ran Clonezilla, it was 
able to successfully (AFAIK) save an image of sda1, but it encountered an error 
when it tried to save an image of sda2:

==========<snip>==========
Checking file system integrity in /dev/sda2... done!
Use lzop to compress the image.
Split image file with size limit 2000MB
*****************************************************.
Volume size: 0 bytes (0 MiB)
partimage: status: initializing the operation.
partimage: status: Partimage: 0.6.1
partimage: status: Image type: NONE
partimage: status: Saving partition to the image file...
partimage: status: reading partition properties
There was an error while reading the bitmap.

partimage: status: commiting buffer cache to disk.
==========<snip>==========

It then goes on to save images of sdb1 and sdb2, but we had to cancel since it 
was saving over ssh and was taking a really long time to finish.  

We connected an external USB drive and tried again.  It encountered the same 
error on the same partition.  It's now saving sdb2 and we're still waiting for 
it to finish.

Any hints as to why it's not able to save sda2 ?
We'll be happy to send more info about our setup, if anyone needs it.

TIA,
-eric
