Right, I have been using saveparts forever with clonezilla, and it is working fine to restoring in case of target disk capacity changes in the future. > If you want Clonezilla to restore the whole disk, including the boot > mechanism, you have to use "savedisk" to save the image. > Right, I will give a try at savedisk next time. My issue is with the p2p "disk-2-mdisks" which is failing to restore a workable system when using "from-device". I was short on time and I did not try the other methods for "-mdst". If you have any idea of what I can try when I am back from holidays in september, to solve this issue....
