I notice the sizes in the saved xml file are exact sizes.. are you using
exactly the same size disk in the new machine?  or a larger one?

that's the file that autoyast generated on my first installation, and
it does not work when i try to re-install that very same machine.  I
get this error.  The other emails to this list in spring of this year
with this problem apparently said something about an off-by-1 error in
the code.

I'll have a look at your file and see what it's about.  I would say
the above is a pretty serious bug though if you ask me, so someone
might want to look at that sooner or later.

there is a bugfix in 10.3
[bug] don't try to squeeze every byte out of a partition during cloning (#262535)
maybe that fixes your problem already. See also:
