I am seeking guidance on a specific operation involving the restoration of an image file, sda1.img, to a relatively different location - the /dev/sda3 device.
To give you a brief overview, I have previously created an image file, sda1.img, using the Partclone v0.3.17 tool. Here are the specifications of the created image:
$ sudo partclone.info -s sda1.img
Partclone v0.3.17 http://partclone.org
Showing info of image (sda1.img)
File system: EXTFS
Device size: 209.7 GB = 51199951 Blocks
Space in use: 20.2 GB = 4939090 Blocks
Free Space: 189.5 GB = 46260861 Blocks
Block size: 4096 Byte
image format: 0002
created on a: 64 bits platform
with partclone: v0.3.23
bitmap mode: BIT
checksum algo: CRC32
checksum size: 4
blocks/checksum: 256
reseed checksum: yes
I'm considering the restoration of this image file into /dev/sda3 device. I ran the ‘fdisk -l’ command to obtain the necessary details about this device:
Considering the considerable size gap between the source image and the destination device, I am not certain whether the image restoration would work properly or if it's even a feasible option. Thus, I am inquiring if it's possible to restore the sda1.img file to the /dev/sda3 location without causing any issues?
Any assistance or guidance on this matter would be highly appreciated.
