Hello,
I´ve run into a problem when trying to create a mountable img out of a clonezilla-backup.
For doing this I used
which in my case translates to
This worked for a few minutes. Terminal output:
Starting to restore image (-) to device (/media/rosika/545A-B3AE/sdd2.img)
Calculating bitmap... Please wait... done!
File system: EXTFS
Device size: 38,2 GB = 9329920 Blocks
Space in use: 27,3 GB = 6663415 Blocks
Free Space: 10,9 GB = 2666505 Blocks
Block size: 4096 Byte
but after 12,33% completion it stopped and I got the error-message:
Partclone fail, please check /var/log/partclone.log !2,37%, 843,94MB/min,
I looked up the log-entries:
Starting to restore image (-) to device (/media/rosika/545A-B3AE/sdd2.img)
we need memory: 1174500 bytes
image head 4160, bitmap 1166240, crc 4100 bytes

I´m really at loss here. Can anybody help me?
Tnx a lot in advance.

*****UPDATE*****
Hi again.
In the meanwhile I could solve my problem (with the help of user dc.901 from linuxquestions, see: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/error-when-trying-to-create-a-bootable-img-from-clonezilla-backup-4175642336/ )
For anybody interested here´s the solution:
This time I chose the third partition of my HDD for my output file where there was enough free space for sure.
My new command was
And: this time the whole process went through to 100 %. Output: "cloned successfully".
Being excited as far as the result is concerned I mounted the resulting sdd2.img with
from the respective directory.
Unmounting went well with
And indeed: it granted me access to all my personal data from my /home-directory which I had created with clonezilla.
Of course I wanted to find out why things didn´t go well in the first place.
My original command referred to a 128 GB stick with two equally large partitions.
On the 1st one there is my clonezilla data. The second partition was empty. So I thought. But it turned out that in "trash" there were several 4 GB chunks of data. And indeed 33 % of the partition was used. I really didn´t know that.
That seems to have been the reason. Not enough disk space.
So it seems everything works fine now.
