This is NOT an issue of misconfiguration. How could you
possibly misconfigure hard drives???
Agreed - there's not much to configure in clonezilla. But this slowness
is not typical so it must be related to your hardware.
Source drive is
main drive and internal to the laptop.
target drive is a usb2.0 HD (both drives are 7200rpm and udma 6).
Albeit, on USB, udma6 is not operable as that is only applicable to
drives on the EATA controller.
Are you sure your USB controller is 2.0 and recognized as such? If you
have another system with available space, you might try connecting via
NFS, ssh, or samba to save an image copy, then restore it to the USB
drive from a different machine.
The version of clonezilla is whatever I found on the sourceforge
just a couple of days ago.
The clonezilla OS is debian-based and might not recognize your hardware
exactly the same as fedora does.
