Hello, i have this issue, trying to clone my sd card to an ssd drive with usb case and i'm getting my drive unmounted and not recognized by lsblk until i restart the system.

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ **sudo lsblk**

    Try running rpi-clone again.

this is the part that rpi-clone fails and after that the lsblk not recognizes the drive.

this is the outpout file

pi@raspberrypi:/tmp $ cat rpi-clone-output

Little update for anyone who encounters the same issue. It was the ssd case that has the jmicron chipset. Look for asmedia instead.

This is very interesting. I have 2 Kingston Technology USB microSD card readers. The 1st is a MobileLite G4 USB 3.0 which blocks the adjacent USB port on the affected Pi 3B+. The 2nd is a MobileLite Plus microSD Reader that is narrow enough to not have the same fit issue. I guess I'd tested rpi-clone with the former 1st and then set up an unattended cron job with the latter installed so that I'd always have a full sytem backup ready to go.

However the cron job would fail unpredictably, and I couldn't figure out why. I recently updated to Debian 12 on the same Pi 3B+ and noticed rpi-clone was failing again. Swapping the readers fixed the issue. Super odd; thanks for the fix!
