   sudo disktype /dev/sda   
      
   That utility sniffs the partitions, and if there is a problem,   
   it might be apparent at this point.   
      
   Partition 10: 46.39 GiB (49806311424 bytes, 97277952 sectors from 1856245759+1)   
       Type 0x83 (Linux)   
       Ext4 file system   
         Volume name "U2310"   
         UUID 9FFC89FC-0EB1-45B9-AEE6-E834AA56DE7D (DCE, v4)   
         Last mounted at "/"   
         Volume size 46.39 GiB (49806311424 bytes, 12159744 blocks of 4 KiB)   
      
   By checking the file system header, determine the type, then   
   testing a few points within the partition, that's where the   
   "Type 0x83" comes from.   
      
   *******   
      
   Looking at the partition table, is a second issue.   
      
   This is the "bookkeeping" side of the setup. The bookkeeping should match   
   what disktype declares. It would be a serious issue, if the type field   
   in the partition table, does not match the file system actually in the   
   partition.   
   The software still checks the file system header.   
      
   sudo gdisk /dev/sda         # Checks the disk partitioning type first.   
                               # You can type "Q" to Quit, if it finds the disk   
   is not GPT   
                               # and it is printing out silly warnings.   
      
                               # Otherwise, typing "P" to print, will show some   
   info.   
      
                               # GDisk will be calm and collected, if the disk is   
   GPT partitioned.   
                               # And won't make such a fuss. If the disk is not   
   GPT, we use fdisk.   
      
   sudo fdisk /dev/sda         # If you quickly exited gdisk because of the   
   warnings,   
                               # the fdisk utility is for MBR partitioned disks.   
                               # Typing "P" to print, dumps the partition table   
   info.   
                               # Type "Q" to quit.   
      
   Perhaps by this point, it will already be apparent there was a failure   
   during cloning.
