Partclone 0.3.12 doesn't capture raw images #35

Closed Sebastian-Roth closed 4 years ago

Sebastian-Roth commented 4 years ago

People in the forums report that capturing raw images doesn't work the way it used to (1, 2).

Sebastian-Roth commented 4 years ago

For yet unknown reasons querying the partition/disk size was disabled in partclone's ddclone.c. While this doesn't break partclone.dd as the device size is being set in dd mode (opt.ddd) this change does break partclone.imager!

After not hearing back from Mr Tsai and discussing this with @mastacontrola and @Quazz we better add our own patch for now to have 0.3.12 work properly for us - see 8b60ec0.

Closing this for now. We might re-open as soon as we have a proper or better solution to this.

I still feel like we need to do: https://github.com/FOGProject/partclone/commit/bcd1a6ae6972b9215586ce7b2d71a7d997840a34

The arguments should be compiled as well. Maybe not as important but I still think it would help ensure the options ddclone is expecting are actually available.

I think #elif DD makes it to not be part of partclone.imager which we use. Calling partclone.dd is a different story. I wouldn't use it if imager works correctly.
