Target partition size is smaller than source
-
Can you open the d1.fixed_size_partitions file?
What partition is this having an issue with?

@Tom-Elliott
I can open the file (apparently empty).This is what I was able to catch before the partclone screen:
bzImage… ok
init.xz… ok
EXT4-fs (ram0): couldn’t mount as ext3 due to feature incompatibilities
Starting logging: OK
Populating /dev using udev: udevd[2370]: error creating epoll fd: Function not implemented
done
Initializing random number generator… done.
Starting eth0 interface -

@Wayne-Workman
Yeah, and my other most recent image has an empty one as well. -

…There should be a lot more messages scrolling down the screen before you see partclone doing its work. Could you take a picture in case you see any errors (
Failed) on the screen.Would you mind uploading d1.mbr of that image and I will see if I can find an issue there. By the way - is this image still working when you deploy to a different machine??
-
I’ll give it a shot. Those messages go by so quick, it is hard to catch.
I don’t have any extra computers to test deploying it to right now, so I don’t know if it still works with others.

@TTHax Thanks for the pictures. The MBR file shows a ‘Dell Utility’ partition (plus a hidden windows part). See here:

Where Tom says:First the recovery partition is a dell utility, and while I believe this is fixed in trunk I cannot say for 100% as I don’t typically create my images using the default layout from the manufacturer.
Do we still have an issue with those Dell partitions in trunk??
-
I guess so since I am using Trunk 6152. I honestly thought I had created a new image without the Dell partition. Thanks for noticing that for me. I will just create a new image with only the main partition and the system reserved. Maybe I was in a hurry when I did that one? I normally use a vanilla 7 image as a base for all of mine. Thanks again!

@TThax I am marking this solved as I guess you have got a new image ready by now. As well Tom and I have worked on getting those dell recovery partitions right as well. Upgrade to the latest version and test if you like.
