Hi everyone,

I’ve just used Clonezilla for the first time to clone a 500gb ssd with only 83gb being used.

Since only 83gb were used, could I clone that system on a computer with only 128gb? Or does it need to have at least 500gb of space even if most of it wasn’t used on my original system?

Clonezilla seems really practical but isn’t so accessible and I haven’t found an answer to that question online 😇

I’m using Fedora 38 but I don’t think it really matters.

    If you find the tool used by partclone for your filesystem type, it may or may not support responding to a smaller partition.

    The libraries/tools used by partclone are documented here: https://partclone.org/features/

    Beware it looks like partclone.org has been monetized with ads if you don’t like that sort of thing.
