Hello, I've been trying to create a full disk image using Clonezilla 2.6.1-25-amd64, but after all the work i saw a warning/error: "Broken partition images were found, or someof them are not checkable in this image: <image_name>. Program terminated." The text is pretty self explanatory, but i'm not 100% sure if i can trust that the image is restorable and i know that i'd need to test to be sure, but perhaps there are other ways to find out before a disaster happens ? My disk layout would be useful here: Code: root@kvm1:~# lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sda 8:0 0 931.5G 0 disk ├─sda1 8:1 0 512M 0 part ├─sda2 8:2 0 244M 0 part └─sda3 8:3 0 930.8G 0 part ├─kvmnode1--vg-home 254:0 0 2G 0 lvm ├─kvmnode1--vg-root 254:1 0 2G 0 lvm ├─kvmnode1--vg-swap_1 254:2 0 3.9G 0 lvm ├─kvmnode1--vg-tmp 254:3 0 1G 0 lvm ├─kvmnode1--vg-usr 254:4 0 2G 0 lvm ├─kvmnode1--vg-var 254:5 0 2G 0 lvm ├─kvmnode1--vg-virtual11_lv 254:10 0 6G 0 lvm ├─kvmnode1--vg-virtual12_lv 254:11 0 10G 0 lvm ├─kvmnode1--vg-virtual13_lv 254:12 0 10G 0 lvm ├─kvmnode1--vg-virtual17_lv 254:13 0 10G 0 lvm ├─kvmnode1--vg-virtual18_lv 254:15 0 10G 0 lvm └─kvmnode1--vg-virtual7_lv 254:24 0 10G 0 lvm sda1 is an EFI partition. sda2 is a /boot partition. sda3 is a physical volume with some logical volumes underneath. While home, root, tmp, usr and var have their filesystems, other LVs like virtual* don't. They're LVs assigned to KVM virtual machines, which create their own partition tables on them. Could this be the reason that Clonezilla gave me such error (because some LVs don't have filesystems) ? Perhaps some of you had similar experience ? I'm going to erase my partition table and try to restore anyway to find out, but i'm curious of the answer anyway. I have backups Thank you in advance.
It turned out that the backup is useless I need to ask on the Clonezilla forums for this, but if anyone here knows this behaviour please let me know. I've lost a bit of trust in Clonezilla.
