The script completed and I shutdown the RPi to attempt booting from the cloned card. Nothing happened. My original card also would not boot and was deemed un-readable by my Mac and PC. Any ideas. I may have lost 2 months of work.

Saw the same problem. First run: source corrupted. Second run: target unusable.

Hi @Secita @andig - I suspect this may have been usage problem rather than an issue with rpi-clone itself, as it does not make any file writes to the source disk.

To help us troubleshoot further, please download and install latest rpi-clone and then post;

1) Details of your system - Distribution/OS etc. 2) Output of $ sudo fdisk -l 3) Exact rpi-clone command you ran and the output from it
