Bouhgt same size (I thought) 16gb flash drive that TAILS recognizes as removable. So proceeded to do a device to device image of the 2.12 to the new blank 16gb flash drive. Clonezilla complains that my new 16gb flash drive is smaller in size. WTF! I check and find that the Kingston Data Traveler is 14.4gb and my spanking new SanDisk is 14.3 GB. I throw in the towel. I will keep using TAILS 2.12 until a 3.?? version that I can easily upgrade to and keep my Persistent data intact, is released.
