But is it Clonezilla noticing drives just for itself, or does the system see them (as well) after it's done its rescan? I seem to recall getting one of my systems to use a drive that was plugged into a motherboard SATA port after bootup, but that was long ago. I've seen various recommendations that say that data must be plugged in before power, or vice versa, but not simultaneously. It's considered risky/unreliable, and I also seem to recall reading that it's even more of a issue trying to hot-unplug. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.92.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 20 11:48:01 UTC 2023 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
