Full Discussion: Partitions will not mount once target system is reimaged using dd

The problem is this: you made a 1:1 copy of a harddisk, and wrote that to a much smaller disk. dd doesn't care about that, and didn't say anything since you specified the noerror option. Everything that's in the final part of the image that didn't fit on the target disk was silently discarded, apparently including a lot of LVM and Ext4 information.

To get a better copy that can handle different disk sizes, take a look at Clonezilla. They claim to be the Norton Ghost equivalent for Linux, but I haven't tested that claim yet.

gnome-disk-image-mounter

GNOME-DISK-IMAGE-MOU(1) 					gnome-disk-utility					   GNOME-DISK-IMAGE-MOU(1)

NAME

       gnome-disk-image-mounter - Attach and mount disk images

SYNOPSIS

       gnome-disk-image-mounter [--writable] [URI...]

DESCRIPTION

       gnome-disk-image-mounter can be used to set up disk images. Both regular files and GVfs URIs (such as smb://filer/media/file.iso) can be
       used in the URI parameter. If no URIs are given and a window server is running, a graphical file chooser will be presented.

       Note that gnome-disk-image-mounter will not mount filesystems or unlock encrypted volumes in the disk image - this responsibility is left
       to the automounter in GNOME Shell to ensure that the same interactions happen as if the disk image was a regular physical device or disc.

       By default the disk images are attached read-only, use the option --writable to change this.

RETURN VALUE

       gnome-disk-image-mounter returns 0 on success and non-zero on failure.
