Would you please show the output of mount ?

[framps]

rpi-clone expects to have two partitions and /boot/firmware or /boot mounted to partition 1 and / to partition 2.

According your lsblk output diet-pi just uses one partition and that's not supported by rpi-clone.

I'm getting the same error. running standard debian 12

I was able to get around this using DD, just wanted to update for anyone else that runs into this.

@ccatlett1984 You don't use the standard name of the boot mountpoint which is /boot/firmware. If you rename the boot mountpoint and update /etc/fstab accordingly rpi-clone will work for you.

[ccatlett1984]

I would suggest a more intuitive option, of adding additional path check in the code logic to look for this path as well. As many people may be attempting to use this package, and don't have control over the mount point for the image that they are using.
