--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
If partclone(.ext4 in my case) is run as a non-root user (i.e. to write
an image to a file from a backup), it emits a warning:
> You are not logged as root. You may have "access denied" errors when >
working.
. but then just exits.
Attached is a patch, that disables the automatic exit, as the warning
already suggests that it would not just exit.
The call that triggerd this for me was:
cat sdc1.ext4-ptcl-img.gz.a* | gzip -d -c | /usr/sbin/partclone.ext4 -r
--restore_raw_file -s - -O sdc1.img -L mylog.log
