Hi Bill,
Same result with ext2 and mounting on /joe
This root partition is recognized as ext3 type on the box (being cloned, can
I called it clone-ee vs cloner). The clonee is RH AS4.0 (RedHat 4) about
2007 and kernel 2.6.9.* .
So whatever mount(1) version and/or VFS version is placed in clonezilla, it
should be able to read that.
Is there any tools to actually read the superblock and see what type is
recorded?
Thanks
