Bug Description

ntfsclone in Ubuntu 16.04 seems not to be compatible with Clonezilla

Start clonzilla, select expert mode and choose ntfsclone as first cloning method.

Some function to test for free disk space is failing:

I look into the script ...and found that one parameter is empty.

I think the error is in the function "get_ntfs_image_info()" in /usr/share/drbl/sbin/ocs-functions.

Looks like it's invoking 'ntfsclone' with the command line options that work for 'partclone.ntfs' - which don't appear compatible.
