Hi Bill

You emailed me but if I try to reply - your spam filter bounces my emails - here's the one I just wrote

Couple of things – I’m trying out your new version

https://github.com/billw2/rpi-clone

In the docs – first clone to a new SD card..

pi@rpi0: $ sudo ./rpi-clone sdb

That can’t be right – only works with the ./ missing….

Secondly when running..

“Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: “

That colon at the end maybe should be … to indicate it is doing something – kind of looks like it has stalled…

When I tried the original version on the Orange Pi Plus 2e it did not work – or rather it did – but then the resulting SD didn’t do anything…. Hoping this version will do better… time will tell (it takes a while)..

Pete.

My ISP gives me trouble and I don't see anything in the spam box, so I don't trust that means anything. Try mllerk60--at--gmail.com Yes, the ./rpi-clone is wrong and was pasted from my test runs. I'll fix it.
