I am trying to backup my Rocky Linux 9 disk image and restore it to an other newer machine with same size SSD by using Clonezilla Live 3.0.3-22.
My Rocky 9 Linux was installed by default partition (divided into 3 partition: sda1 mounted to /boot/efi; sda2 mounted to /boot; sda3 there are 3 logic partitions such as: /, /home and swap)
[root@rocky9pg15m ~]# lsblkNAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTSsda 8:0 0 238.5G 0 disk ├─sda1 8:1 0 600M 0 part /boot/efi├─sda2 8:2 0 1G 0 part /boot└─sda3 8:3 0 236.9G 0 part ├─rl-root 253:0 0 70G 0 lvm /├─rl-swap 253:1 0 7.8G 0 lvm [SWAP]└─rl-home 253:2 0 159.1G 0 lvm /home
When I use Clonezilla live to backup it's disk image to my SSH server successfully.(follow instruction of https://clonezilla.org/show-live-doc-content.php?topic=clonezilla-live/doc/02_Restore_disk_image)
But when I tried to restore it to my an other machine (similar hard ware and same disk size) from SSH server.
Restore step as:
English UTF-8Keep default keyboardStart Clonezilladevice-imageSSH_server ...........use beginner moderestoredisk[restore to local disk] sda 256GB_MT-256k0 - use the partition table from the imageyes, check the image before restore[go .......]
The new machine only boot to emergency mode.
When I run lsblk I found some thing missing in that table:
[root@rocky9pg15m ~]# lsblkNAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTSsda 8:0 0 238.5G 0 disk ├─sda1 8:1 0 600M 0 part /boot/efi├─sda2 8:2 0 1G 0 part /boot└─sda3 8:3 0 236.9G 0 part ├─rl-root 253:0 0 70G 0 lvm /└─rl-swap 253:1 0 7.8G 0 lvm [SWAP]
if compare with original partition table, seems logic partition rl-home missed in the restored disk.
if we run command [journalctl -xb], we found there are quite few warning and error message popped up.

Does any one have any idea about it? I mean clone a running Linux system to other new machine by using Clonezilla Live.
If any one do, please advise!
