I did look at clonezilla, briefly, but had to discard the idea,
as my setup violated two of its rules:
# The destination partition must be equal or larger than the source one.
In my case the / partition on machine A is larger than the disk
on machine B.
# The partition to be imaged or cloned has to be unmounted.
I can't stop machine A, as the partition table has been destroyed
and it would not re-boot.
