I am confident I have ruled out NFS. I can now connect to the NFS from localhost and Ubuntu to /images & /images/dev without issue and all the permissions that come with it. The only thing failing now is FOG, any guidance would be great!

Problem solved - the disk with the image was damaged

@george1421

Ok so the system in question has an on board nic (enp128s31f6), 1 single port Intel PCI-E Gigabit NIC (enp5s0), and 1 dual port Intel PCI-E Gigabit NIC (enp3s0 and enp4s0).

So I booted the system with a Linux system rescue USB key. The network cable is plugged into the single port nic. You can see that it has the IP address 172.16.57.22 was fetched. Without any issues. The mac addresses on the identified nics are:

enp128s31f6 - d4:a2:cd:b7:17:f2 enp3s0 - 00:13:3b:50:b2:b0 enp4s0 - 00:13:3b:50:b2:b1 enp5s0 - ec:08:6b:04:f9:d9 (the one that is attached to the network cable)

Now when I boot the system up into debug mode with FOG into the FOS environment it seems whatever port is pluged into the lan it adopts another NIC’s mac address as shown below:

Now you can see when the fog client boots the mac address changes on the port that is connected to the LAN as:

enp128s31f6 - d4:a2:cd:b7:17:f2 enp3s0 - 00:13:3b:50:b2:b0 enp4s0 - 00:13:3b:50:b2:b1 enp5s0 - ec:08:6b:04:f9:d9 --> Changed to 00:13:3b:50:b2:b0 (the one that is attached to the network cable)

Now I’ve plugged the cable into enp128s31f6 and setup dhcp on that port as well and tested it. When the fog client starts all of sudden the enp128s31f6 has another NIC’s mac address…

Just a re-cap if I pull the two network cards, and do the re-image on the system I have no issues. It only occurs when I put an additional nic into the system… Any suggestions?

@lmoysidis I’m not using fortigate but check out the following article: https://docs.fogproject.org/en/latest/installation/network-setup/proxy-dhcp/?h=
I needed to dynamically assign a boot file based on vendor class and dnsmasq did the trick!

@Tom-Elliott Thank you so much Tom, as always I appreciate your support and guidance.

I reverted back to a snapshot I had on the same version and it’s working as expected. Unsure how things got corrupted but I would say it’s safe to assume this is working unless others report the same issue.

@chevengur there is not enough information to help you in that picture. If we could see more of the error message that partclone threw (i.e. just above the top of your picture) we would know what happened. At the point in the script all we know is that partclone wasn’t happy.

@Tom-Elliott thx👍

Please see if this helps? Specifically the task related items. Sometimes stale (old/bad items suddenly show up from long ago.) admittedly I’d love to know what caused (or causes?) this but it has so far eluded me this far.

@Tom-Elliott What’s the difference between the full and quick registration processes then? because AD join exists in full, but not in quick…

@Tom-Elliott Cheers, works as expected now!

To add to this, we’ve been imaging a variety of desktop and laptops to Windows 11 last week and we’ve had three occasions where FOG has imaged to a connected portable hard drive rather than the local hard drive. I don’t remember it doing this before.

My technicians are on the lookout and are trying to remember to disconnect portable drives ongoing before a deploy but has something in Windows changed recently? We’re on FOG Version 1.6.0-beta.2233

Thank you!
