Hi People,
I created an image with ntfsclone and am now unable to restore it.
This is what ntfsclone reports when i try to restore the image:
ntfsclone v2011.4.12 (libntfs-3g)
Ntfsclone image version: 10.1
Cluster size : 4096 bytes
Image volume size : 628592312320 bytes (628593 MB)
Image device size : 628592315904 bytes
Space in use : 285916 MB (45.5%)
Offset to image data : 56 (0x38) bytes
Variant 1:
ntfsclone -r backup.ntfs -O /dev/sda1
ntfsclone aborts with the following error message:
ERROR(22): restore_image: lseek: Invalid argument
I strace'ed ntfsclone and found that it tries to lseek to 0x1000000000
which
results in the error "invalid argument" (if you need i can upload the
complete strace log)
Variant 2:
ntfsclone -r backup.ntfs -O - > /dev/sda1
no error are reported, but the filesystem cannot be mounted afterwards.
it complains about Record 0 having an invalid magic.
As far as i understood from google'ing the web, is that this version of
ntfsclone has a bug and the image is invalid. Now i wonder if it is in some
way possible to at least extract the files from the image? (i don't need any
metadata, or boot sector, or other stuff from windows)
PS:
I also tried to restore with newer versions of ntfsclone, with mostly the same
result. The newest version (compiled from source) aborts with the
message "image corrupted" after about 0.12% progress.
I used that old version because it gets shipped with the SuSE install disks.
Thanks in advance for your help.
- Simon
