Hi Steven,

The posting was pointing out that on the clonee box (being cloned) my OS sees a hda and sda while when I boot to clonezilla, both flash and sata disks are being seen as sda and sdb.
That's normal. Different kernel uses different config, and the kernel in Clonezilla live 1.2.5 and 1.2.6 see most of the disk as /dev/sd*, not /dev/hd*.

Per your recommendation and usage of blkid(1) and sda (a flash drive for /boot and / ) and sdb for other stuff.

# blkid -p /dev/sda
/dev/sda PTTYPE="dos"

# blkid -p /dev/sda1
# echo $?
2

# blkid -p -u filesystem /dev/sda2
# echo $?
2
I mean you:
1. Boot clonezilla live
2. Choose to enter command line prompt
3. Run this command:
    sudo /sbin/blkid
    Then post the output messages of the above command.

Steven.


So mount(1) fails and blkid(1) is failing....is there any options for blkid to debug further...

Thanks
Medi

    Thanks Les and Andy,

    I suppose I can ignore this type recognition if I can solve my
    real problem, which lead me to this inquiry.

    My real problem is that I would like to boot off of clonezilla
    and proceed to mount the root filesystem (of the box being
    cloned) to learn stuff from /etc such as IP of the box and such.
    This is to automate the cloneing to an NFS location in a proper
    folder, for ease of restore and such.

    Currently when I clonezilla fdisk reports my root filesystem type
    to be 83. When I try to mount this like

    mount -t ext3  /dev/sda2 /mnt

    I get the following error message
    VFS: Can't find ext3 filesystem on dev sda2
    mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda2 ...
    .....and bunch of other suggestions including see dmesg

    Any suggestions...

    /dev/sda2 is swap, did you mean you want to mount /dev/sda3 actually?
    Or please run:
    sudo /sbin/blkid
    then post the results.

    Steven.

        That’s normal. There was a kernel update somewhere in the 2.6

        Is it actually stopping you from doing something?

        Hi,

        Just installed and tried Clonezilla ver

        I have two PATA partitions and a few more SCSI partitions.

        /dev/sdb2

        Basically, Clonezilla is seeing both my flash disk and sata
        disk as scsi disks?
        Any ideas
