clone - first attempt failed. #61

First go - assuming root user which a typical pi user would never be....

pi@pi3b:~:23:07[1]> rpi-clone sda rpi-clone needs to be run as root.

Then I ran as sudo - several questions asked - did I miss the YES overrides? I did everything as requested but the whole thing was over in a minute - no way it has cloned my rpi installation...

pi@pi3b:~:23:11[1]> sudo rpi-clone sda

Destination disk partition /dev/sda2 is mounted on /media/pi/rootfs. The clone cannot proceed unless it is unmounted. Do you want to unmount /media/pi/rootfs? (yes/no): yes

Destination disk partition /dev/sda1 is mounted on /media/pi/boot. The clone cannot proceed unless it is unmounted. Do you want to unmount /media/pi/boot? (yes/no): yes

Are you able to clarify, Bill, it would be very much appreciated. After the initial sudo request I was asked questions. For simplicity can these default to yes and as the whole thing took a couple of minutes or less, did the update work because I used an SD with very recent SD BACKUP on it, or is there likely a problem?

scargill commented 6 years ago

Answered my own question. -U unattended assuming a repeat backup works, also -f if the first time. All works but would be better if the warning about how "the cloning cannot proceed unless /dev/sda1 and 2 are unmounted" was followed by a note to say they are unmounted. It does say that at the end after all is finished but presumably they aer unmounted earlier on?
