    Hardware: Dell OptiPlex 3000 Micro
    FOG Version: 1.5.10.1733
    (Latest stable: 1.5.10.1734)

    Hello everyone,

    I am facing an issue while trying to capture an image from a Dell OptiPlex 3000 Micro that has two disks:

    NVMe SSD – 256 GB

    HDD – 1 TB

    When I start the capture process, FOG only captures the 1 TB HDD. The NVMe SSD is not captured at all.

    FOG detects the disks as follows:

    HDD appears as Disk 0

    NVMe SSD appears as Disk 1

    The disk order does not change, and the NVMe is ignored during capture.

    I am using the image type “Multiple Partition Image – All Disks”, because the goal is to capture the entire machine (both disks).

    Tests already performed:

    I removed the HDD and tried to capture only the NVMe SSD → the capture worked correctly.

    However, this solution does not work for my scenario, because I need to deploy this image to around 80 machines, and doing manual captures or disk removal is not viable.

    Because of this, I believe the issue may be related to:

    NVMe disk handling, or

    A limitation or bug in FOG when capturing multiple disks with NVMe + SATA together.

    Has anyone experienced a similar issue or found a workaround for capturing NVMe + HDD together on Dell OptiPlex Micro systems?

    Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you in advance.

    Quick Update (19/12/2025):

    Hi Everyone,

    I’ll probably open another topic for this in the coming weeks, as it probably deserves it’s own thread for bug reports and feature requests etc (mostly need to convince myself to write it, but also wanted to double check which category such a thread should go under, is tutorials fine?), but I’ve created an ansible role to help with the installation and configuration of fog.

    Notably it will help with creating a secureboot valid setup with shim like above. It should implement most of the important functions of the fog installer, and can also automatically perform a lot of the steps in the guide above for you.

    I figured I’d drop it here on the forum somewhere in case it’s helpful for others. More detailed usage information will be added to the readme or the new topic. Naturally I’ll link to a new topic here once I get around to making it.

    The role is currently hosted on my forgejo instance here: https://forgejo.cwavs.xyz/Cwavs/ansible-role-fog
