apfsclone.c: bitmap error when trying to capture mac OS drive
-
@fog_newb Well it appears that parclone has “immature support” for apfs volumes. It looks like clonezilla has a similar issue: https://github.com/rescuezilla/rescuezilla/issues/65
-
@george1421 I guess it may be a while until partclone gets sorted. It looks like
Should I capture as a raw image? Clonezilla live 3.0 claims to support apfs and at one time I was able to capture both drives on the laptop sort of recently. IDK
-
@fog_newb The raw or dd version should capture everything, its going to be a bigger captured image and slower to capture it, but it should work. You will at least have a clone / backup of the system that way.
-
@george1421 .The problem is with partclone 3.13
Version 3.20 appears to work.
I am using CloneZilla Live to get the mac drive copied to an external. Can you guys add partclone 3.20 for FOG?
-
@fog_newb The short answer is maybe, depending on where the clonezilla guys got 3.20. I looked on the author’s web site and his is only 3.15. So someone must have forked his version and fixed stuff.
-
@fog_newb I think its possible to do it, with 3.20. I’ll have to rebuild the FOS operating system to make it happen. But I have a dev environment that I can get it done. Let me see what I can do over night. The output will be a new init.xz file for testing.

@george1421 Cool, I can’t wait!
Both of my drives in that laptop are the same size and model
I noticed something weird about CloneZilla live. When I first booted from it, the Windows drive became /dev/sdb. I only noticed because I chose to back up from /sdb to the external and saw NTFS. No big deal, I rebooted again and chose to back up /sda to external, well guess what, it was the Windows drive again. I am not sure why it would change like that. It gave me flashback to having 2 NVMe drives where one may or may not initialize before the other. -
@fog_newb I ran into some compile issues with partclone 0.3.20 tonight. Its giving me an error about a missing library that I can’t work around at the moment. I’ll have to pick this up tomorrow but I think I’m pretty close.
-
@george1421 That is great news. Thanks for all your help.
-
@george1421 I mean, it is not great news that you ran into trouble with the libraries but great news you are working on it and far enough a long to ‘do things’ with the library. But I digress, I was half asleep when I made the first reply. I looked at it now and was like… I should explain
I am super excited to get the Hackintosh all backed up with FOG.

Hello,
Any luck with incorporating the 0.3.20 into FOG? Also, is there something I can check or turn on the debug/partclone logs? Nothing ever shows up in /var/logs
Thanks
