    @kratkale I don’t know what you are asking.

    what’s nvme1n1 this boot cycle, might very well be nvme0n1 next cycle.

    While you may see some level on consistency, SERIAL based devices (PCI, SATA, USB, etc…)

    All load their identifiers (/dev/sda, /dev/nvme0n1, etc…) on a first come first serve basis.

    What’s /dev/sda1 this boot may be /dev/sdb1 next boot and so on. There’s 0 method to guarantee they will always get the same label which is why many Linux machines use a UUID for the fstab file now instead of their path names (which was used for a long period of time).

    FOG just returns the list of devices lsblk sees in the order lsblk sees it.

    @Tom-Elliott I really appreciate that you are putting effort into providing more frequent releases, which makes it easier for everyone to deploy new security fixes in time. Keep up the good work!

    Hello,

    We are preparing a lab with 44 MacBooks (Apple M4, 16 GB RAM).

    Currently, we have not implemented any imaging solution yet. At the moment, we only use our Samba Active Directory domain for user authentication (LDAP/Kerberos) on the Macs.

    All machines have the exact same hardware configuration, and we need a way to create a standardized macOS image and replicate it across all devices. This deployment process is performed once every semester, so we are looking for a reliable and repeatable solution.

    We are evaluating the FOG Project as a possible solution, but we are unsure whether it supports cloning and deploying macOS images on Apple Silicon devices (M4).

    We would like to ask:

    Is FOG suitable for capturing and deploying macOS images on Apple Silicon Macs?
    How does the cloning process for macOS work in this scenario?
    If FOG is not recommended, what tools or best practices would you suggest for mass macOS deployment and domain integration with Samba AD?

    Thank you for your guidance.

    @Tom-Elliott Thanks for the clarification! I’ll try upgrading to the latest stable version, I was planning on doing this anyway.

    I’ll look into the Persistent Groups plugin and see how it works!
