Is it possible to create a single RAW image file using clonezilla and then mount it?

I ask this because I have been recommended this instead of ddrescue, but ddrescue creates a raw .img that allows me to mount it.

Is there any way?

  • @marsh-wiggle I'm not sure if I understood the question correctly. I guess it refers to the mount point. It may be that you mount it in /mnt/tempimg – MarianoM Jan 04 '19 at 11:39

Clonezilla had dd for creating raw image just start image creation as expert and use the priority selection dd -> other instead partclone -> disk image -> dd to create a single image on the section request you the maximum size set it to 0; in Linux you can mount safely any raw image also created with dd just using mount. in windows you can use this tools: https://www.osforensics.com/tools/mount-disk-images.html

  • Many do not recommend the use of dd because it does not show the progress bar. Do you know if Clonezilla does it? – MarianoM Jan 04 '19 at 11:16
  • Don't know it, normally I do not use, but I can suppose it does; anyway it is possible to monitor dd progress, read here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/215505/how-do-you-monitor-the-progress-of-dd – AtomiX84 Jan 04 '19 at 11:21
  • Excellent! Thank you so much for everything. I see that there are multiple uses for pv. How do you work with any utility? – MarianoM Jan 04 '19 at 11:41
  • @MarianoM i did not get your last question clear, you mean how I work with pv or the question mean PV could work with any utility? in the first case, I do not use, in case of dd I add flag status=progress, in the second case you have to read the documentation or search if some body already ask it or post another question. – AtomiX84 Jan 04 '19 at 13:07
