@Tony-Ayre just wanted to acknowledge that this is definitely a limitation of FOG backend that we were handed when @Tom-Elliott picked up this project. Our current rewrite addresses this problem (and most scaling problems), but it’ll be a quite a bit before FOG 2.0 is ready.

@dureal99d said in How does fog see drives in a system:

Linux sees my drive as /dev/sdc1, however a booting fog sees my same boot drive drive as /dev/sdd1

Make sure you don’t have any SD cards stuck in the system. Also is the hard disk a hybrid drive (flash and mechanical)? Did you install Linux on the system or are you just live booting from a flash drive?

Can we get the output of lsblk please?

Good to know… Thanks

@Tom-Elliott Ok Thank You!!!

I see. Thanks everyone for your help. For this customer, we’ll just use USB’s initially (since they told us yesterday they’d changed their deployment method and we need it by Friday…) and then see if we can work to a better long-term solution after that.

Thanks everyone!

@Wayne-Workman There’s already reports for this. Login History, and Hosts and users.

This would not present the info on the host management page.

A hook can/should be used to perform this if you really feel it necessary though.

@Tom-Elliott

Fantastic!

I use to, had no issue.
I now use turnkey LAMP distribution for fog server deployments, has webmin preinstalled. All works fine

@Wayne-Workman

I have to take back, what I said earlier.
When I first tried to migrate the database, I apparently did something wrong while exporting the db, because the size of the dump wasn’t nearly as big as it is now, when I tried it again. I now was able to successfully import the database and I have hosts, image definitions and users showing up properly in the web interface.

The next step is to perform all of this on my actual FOG server, as this was only a test with a VM.

Thanks for the help everyone!

Many thanks for your reply.
I think, for the beginning, i will try the Quazz’s advice.

I will post my experience in this topic later …

@Wayne-Workman

Of course. I’ll keep you updated with my progress.

@asbenavides I can say these commands install Acrobat Reader DC very well. I don’t use snapins so you may need to translate that into snapin format. We use a different tool, but we deploy using the following commands in a batch file.

start /wait msiexec.exe /i AcroRead.msi TRANSFORMS="AcroRead.mst" ALLUSERS=1 /qn /norestart start /wait msiexec.exe /i FontPack1500720033_XtdAlf_Lang_DC.msi ALLUSERS=1 /qn /norestart

There is a tool “adobe acrobat dc customization wizard” that allows you to customize the Acro Reader install (which creates the transform file used in the above command). It lets you accept the eula, makes customization to the reader install there are quite a few guides on the internet for this, just search. For example: http://www.itninja.com/software/adobe/reader-6/dc
We throw in the APAC font pack file because we do interact with Asian countries.

@lebrun78 said in Choising a storage management:

if i rename /images to /imagesold and create a new /images where is mount //fog032/images and then copy the contents of /imagesold to the new /images, it should works, no ?

It will work. I’ve done a lot of stuff like this before. Dedicating an entire physical partition on a physical disk is the simple way to go about it but it’s not exactly flexible by design. LVM solves those problems. If you’re using logical volume groups and logical volumes, you don’t have to do all of that mess you were talking about (transferring, renaming), you just add space to the volume group, then the logical volume.

@Wayne-Workman said in I found the reason for the name "Zazzles" ?:

I don’t like cats.

Possible solution…

The school district I used to work for, we had about 15 servers on 15 different subnets. All of them were tied together to a central server, and we used the location plugin. I’m the guy that set all of that up.

If you have 17 sites - one lonely little storage node won’t cut it. In the summer when all the technicians are imaging everything non-stop, you will fall behind because it won’t keep up with the pace you need. You need to run a storage node at each site and tie them all to a central server - and use the location plugin.

@x23piracy That is not the subdomain. All of the “fogproject” sites use the same certificate:

0_1484135018924_upload-8647c6e3-5e97-4503-8eb4-6e079edc8c55

The fact that you’re secure, then not, leads me to think it’s something with firefox itself telling you funny information.
