Hi,
I have been trying to create a copy of my hard drive, onto the USB drive as an image and also to disk. In both the cases, it has been failing for me. I went through some of the forums and I saw you responding with a question asking the type of the hard drive. I did that I found that the hard drive type is "iws_raid_member",
Below is the extract of the error I get when I perform disk to image.
Kindly advice.

Which version of Clonezilla live did you use?
Have you tried stable Clonezilla live, e.g, 2.8.1-12 or 20220103-impish?
Please also give testing Clonezilla live a try, e.g., 3.0.0-15 or 20220329-jammy amd64:

It comes with newer Linux kernel so it might support your hardware better.

Hi Steven,
I have tried all of these options, but none of them seem to work for me.
Is this issue related to the hardware?
So when I tried the command wipefs --no-act /dev/nvme0n1 I get
Device Offset Type
nvme0n1 0x773c255c00 isw_raid_member
Please boot Clonezilla live 3.0.0-19, enter command line prompt, then run:
1. sudo -i
2. cat /proc/partitions
3. mount
4. lsblk
Please post the results of 2-4.
BTW, it looks like you want to save your RAID device as an image? If so, please also try to choose "saveparts" instead of "savedisk".
Steven
