Hello, I recently gave clonezilla-live-20100921-lucid.iso on my Vista/FreeBSD laptop. I am booting it from CD.
I wanted to clone my internal 114473MB SATA drive (that has 3 bad sectors): ad4: 114473MB <FUJITSU MHW2120BH 00000012> at ata2-master UDMA100 SATA to the external one (connected by Firewire or USB) da2: 131071MB (268435455 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 16709C) Here's the layout for the source disk as shown by FreeBSD's gpart utility: Script started on Sat Oct 30 23:46:11 2010 radziecki$ gpart list ad4 Geom name: ad4 fwheads: 16 fwsectors: 63 last: 234441647 first: 63 entries: 4 scheme: MBR Providers: 1.

Name: ad4s4 Mediasize: 9916268544 (9.2G) Sectorsize: 512 Mode: r1w1e2 So we have DOS FAT, NTFS, FreeBSD UFS and ZFS there, plus two swap partitions (ad4s4b and ad4s4e are not really used). My first problem during first two runs of a full disk-to-disk copy with clonezilla was that clone aborted with the message that Linux could not find /dev/sdb5 partition (/dev/sda was the source and /dev/sdb was the target). Looks like all MBR partitions (/dev/sdb1..sdb4) got recognized by Linux on a target, but sdb5..sdb8 were missing, although I am sure I requested recreation of the partition table according to the source. Things got better after 2nd or 3rd attempt and I am not seeing this anymore (maybe I will try to reproduce this later again). But now I am facing a problem related to the disk errors: they are now harmless since ZFS worked them around, but they still cause problems with imaging software. I was using Ghost 2003 for DOS previously and it was enough to tell it to ignore checksums. Ghost is very slow on this machine (it uses INT 13h access since the USB drive is not recognized by DOS ASPI drivers) so it takes ages to clone few GBs, but it works. What I am seeing with clonezilla (no TUI/GUI mode, verbose) is this (taken from /var/log/messages, not from the screen where it's different, well): t 30 13:32:01 lucid kernel: [ 7333.292762] sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] Unhandled sense code Oct 30 13:32:01 lucid kernel: [ 7333.292766] sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE Oct 30 13:32:01 lucid kernel: [ 7333.292773] sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] Sense Key : Medium Error [current] [descriptor] Oct 30 13:32:01 lucid kernel: [ 7333.292782] Descriptor sense data with sense descriptors (in hex): Oct 30 13:32:01 lucid kernel: [ 7333.292787] 72 03 13 00 00 00 00 0c 00 0a 80 00 00 00 00 00 Oct 30 13:32:01 lucid kernel: [ 7333.292809] 06 66 85 c6 Oct 30 13:32:01 lucid kernel: [ 7333.292818] sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] Add.

Those DMA/disk error seem to halt the replication process forever - I get them over and over (one night was not enough to push the process further). Is there any way to skip over bad blocks? (as you see, I tried the "-rescue" option). //Marcin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nokia and AT&T present the 2010 Calling All Innovators-North America contest Create new apps & games for the Nokia N8 for consumers in U.S. and Canada $10 million total in prizes - $4M cash, 500 devices, nearly $6M in marketing Develop with Nokia Qt SDK, Web Runtime, or Java and Publish to Ovi Store http://p.sf.net/sfu/nokia-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Clonezilla-live mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/clonezilla-live
