I had a chance to look at the code this morning: bug confirmed.

The bug was exactly what I thought it was, i.e. the CloneVDI compaction feature has a function which checks unpartitioned areas of the disk (useful if the user has deleted or shrunk a partition), and that function had an implicit and incorrect assumption that slot 1 in the MBR would always be used to define the first partition. The bug only arises if compaction is enabled, and that assumption is wrong, and the actual first partition begins 1MB or more into the disk.

I'll do a bugfix release soon.

Starting CloneVDI under wine from console, I always get this annoying message:

Code: Select all

fixme:console:AttachConsole stub ffffffff
In fact, one could hide it with:

Code: Select all

WINEDEBUG=-all wine CloneVDI.exe (args)
(hint from Wine FAQ)

...maybe I'm missing something: I have linux (debian) headless servers as hosts, and I would like to understand if I have any chance to use clonevdi from the shell (without wine, since my hosts have no GUI, no X11).
Do I have any chance?

CloneVDI is a Windows executable. It can't be used on Linux hosts without Wine.

Ok, pity.
Thanks anyway
(such a nice development in such an awkward direction)

Hello everyone, I've got a headless ubuntu server that I'm keen to run CloneVDI on - I've installed wine, but obviously I can only use the command line.

I know CloneVDI can run via the command line, but I can't work out how to string this together with calling it under wine to make it work - Can anyone advise / point me in the right direction? I've tried looking on the Wine manual pages, but still not sure. Is it something to do with wine cmd?

Thanks for any help in advance!

CloneVDI works in a Windows console, not any old command line. I have no idea if Wine supports that feature. But yes, in Windows the command executable shell is cmd.exe.

"wine cmd" is command-line access into Wine, similar to Windows' "cmd" .

Once invoked in a terminal/console (by using 'wine cmd' ), the current directory is displayed using DOS format. The system root is displayed as "Z:" and normal Unix forward slashes ( / ) are replaced by DOS backslashes ( \ ) .

That's from the manual pages of wine - I've done that and then tried running CloneVDI using command line commands as per the release text but can't get it to work. I'm probably trying to put a square peg in a round hole! Has anyone who's used CloneVDI on Linux managed to get it running from command line?
