How to do disk cloning when Clonezilla doesn't list the external source disk
·177 words·1 min
I wanted to clone an external SSD at 256GB (source) with internal NVME 512GB (destination) using clonezilla. (It had freebsd in it). External SSD was connected via usb-c. The machine was a Dell XPS laptop.1 Each time I ran clonezilla, it wouldn’t show me the external disk. However, lsblk showed it and to make matters worse, if I chose the image to disk option, the external disk would show! I even tried with the latest Clonezilla live cd, “alternative stable - 20250620-plucky” and it had the same issue.
