I've been using Rescuezilla to image the boot drive in my System 76 Clevo based laptop (aka LT1) for over a year without any problems. Recently, I started getting the following error message:
However, when I "restore" the images to an identical drive, then swap that drive out with the boot drive in LT1, it works just fine and dandy.
Early this year, I bought a used Boxx computer (now aka LT2) built on the same Clevo chassis. Around a month or so ago, I "restored" the then latest image to a drive, then swapped it out with the Boxx boot drive that had Win 10 on it and Mint booted up just fine.
I then added the uuids of the data drives in LT2, copies of the data drives in LT1 to the fstab file in in LT! and made a new image of the boot drive in LT1. I then "restored" that image to another spare drive and swapped it into LT2. Again, it booted just fine, my data drives mounted, and all my symlinks were working.
Today, I made an image of LT1's boot drive (I do this every Saturday), then "restored" to one of LT1's alternate boot drives, then swapped it out with the boot drive in LT1 (I do this every first Saturday of the month). As usual, it booted just fine.
I then "restored" the same image to an alternate LT2 boot drive and swapped it into LT2. Linux booted but my data drives didn't mount and and my symlinks weren't working. I tried mounting my data drives using Disks and got an error message.
I tired repeating all of the above that I did today and got the same results. I tried again using Rescuezilla on another Ventoy USB stick in case the first one went bad (I've had it happen before). Same results.
Since the error message asked if Clonezilla is installed, I reinstalled it on LT1 and tried everything again. Same results.
I'm totally stumped. I get the feeling the problem is related to that Rescuezilla error but I cannot figure it out for the life of me.
