    Hi!

    I have this weird issue where Clonezilla authenticates with succes and
    starts writing some small files but spits out this error right when
    copying the first, 100 MB partition (only 30 MB of used space to be copied):

    "No space left on the device or there is a permission issue. Hence the
    data can not be written to this dir:: /home/partimag
    Program terminated!!"

    Since it can write into the network share, I conclude it is not a
    permission problem.
    Windows machines have no trouble doing it.
    Also, the destination drive has 1.8 TB of free space.

    I tried with SMB 2.1 and SMB 3.0 in the idea that it might be a protocol
    issue.

    I wrote to QNAP support but, it seems, it is a Clonezilla-specific issue.

    Thanks in advance!

    So when you encounter this error, please enter command line prompt, and run:
    1. sudo su -i
    2. df -ah
    3. mount
    4. dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/partimag/dd.zero bs=1M count=500
    Please show the results of (2)-(4).
    Thanks.
