   It is not a question of "just a few bytes", it also happens when you   
   make an image of a partition and then immediately write the image back   
   to the *exact same* partition, without altering anything.

   This is a bug in CloneZilla that's been known for years and they keep   
   trying to talk their way out of it. "You must be doing something wrong".   
   Those guys just can't count. Partitions don't magically get smaller   
   after making an image of them. Or at least they shouldn't.   
      
   I really don't know how people trust their data with this awful mess of   
   a program.
