I am attempting to use CloneZilla to migrate my Debian installation from
one device to another.

The original device which has Debian, /dev/sda, is a 512 GB SATA SSD.

The new device which I want to clone Debian to, /dev/nvme3n1p, is a 512 GB
NVMe SSD.

I have 3 partitions on my SATA SSD:
- /dev/sda1 - /boot
- /dev/sda2 - /boot/efi
- /dev/sda3 - LVM with 1 PV (physical volume)/VG (volume group), and 6 LV's
(logical volumes) in that one VG.

Prior to this clone, I shrunk the PV and the actual partition of /dev/sda3
to 460 GB, to ensure there wouldn't be any issues in case the new drive was
just a few bytes smaller than the old one.

My CloneZilla seems to be in a "loop", when it completes cloning the
/dev/sda3 partition, it then starts itself over.

Would appreciate any advice on how to fix this, so I can get this system
back online!

    Additional video. This time I loaded CloneZilla to RAM, and then also added the option to run fsck -y. Same result - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBVj240aEj0
