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