Read-only filesystem (30)

[darrepac]

Hi

I just downloaded rpi-clone and tried it. It fails always with a rsync error like: rsync: write failed on "/mnt/clone/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/dri/vmwgfx_dri.so": Read-only file system (30)

(not always at the same file)

If it helps, here is the message at start:

Booted disk: mmcblk0 16.0GB                Destination disk: sda 8.0GB
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

then when it happens, I can't try anymore: Syncing mounted partitions: Mounting /dev/sda2 on /mnt/clone mount: /dev/sda2: can't read superblock Mount failure of /dev/sda2 on /mnt/clone.

any idea? (may-be related to this issue not really solvaed (the user found a workaround): https://github.com/billw2/rpi-clone/issues/59)

going back to 1.7 version make it works. Shame that there seems to have no support here...

Same issue

I had this issue tryint clone my RetroPie RPI4 (runs on dietpi) sd-card to an external SSD. I read (somewhere?) rpi-clone miscalculated the sized of the destination partition and this caused the filesystem to go in read only mode.

So I tried my luck. I created manually with fdisk

1. 256 MB partition (as vfat)
2. another partition of the rest of the dis (as ext4)

When I ran rpi-clone it didn't try to recreate the partitions so it worked beautifully, doing just the rsync. That's at least half the work I don't have to do manually.

BTW, this probably only happens with some disk structures. I just rpi-cloned a brand new install of raspberry OS latest version from a RaspBerry 3 SD Card to an USB 2.0 HD and it worked without issues.
