While doing some testing on Feature #9129 I found that “Clone & Install” will not work with a 2GB device. This is expected because Bug #6538 fixed that. Indeed, when running with --verbose the message Skipping too small device is sent to stderr.

“Clone & Upgrade”, however, will proceed with formatting. This was reproduced with a freshly created 2GB disk image with a GPT partition table, and a vfat file system in the experimental branch.

As expected, the installation fails.
