@bendrajamss Why did you post here? How does this relate to fog?

@george1421 said in Error for create image:

OK so the question is what is in the 4th physical partition on that hard drive. FOS is reporting the structure is incorrect. If you take a similar system and try to capture it do you get the same error?
My idea is that this hard drive has a problem in its partition layout. The operating system doesn’t appear to have an issue with it, but when its cloned partclone isn’t happy

I did not have time to do this test
I will do it Monday and I will inform you
Thank you and good we

@tom-elliott Thanks Tom, this said i will give 1.5 a try.

Regards X23

@Rafafele Change the image type of that image to “Multiple Partition Image - All Disks” (ID 3)…

Well you can start with the wiki page: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Include_any_ISO_in_the_FOG_Bootmenu

And here is an older document, but the concepts still apply. There is no need to hack the php code any more since you can edit the pxe boot menu inside the fog web gui now. https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Advanced_Boot_Menu_Configuration_options

@russkil said in Is there a control list of what you can expect fog to do?:

One question that does spring to mind tho is with fog does it change the host name of a machine in fog would that take effect at the time of boot or at the time of reimaging?

The FOG Client (if installed) will also enforce hostnames. If you change the hostname in the web interface, the FOG Client will make the change on the remote system. If the hostname on the remote system gets changed, the FOG Client will re-set it to what you have defined in the web interface. If the system is also domain-joined, the FOG Client will also rename the computer’s object in Active Directory too.

@Bob-Henderson Thanks for the tip, I am sorry to have nothing to offer but we are a startup wich means that every single penny comes out of our pocket and things are going bad down here in Brazil so… I appealed to the “ecofriendly” therm because it’s the very core of our startup and how FOG is a linux-based project I thought it would be in the same ecosystem where people are used to help each other for some cause or sympathize for the idea and etcetera, explore your technichal habilities was not my intention.
I will take a look on theese other projects, thank you again.

The iPXE boot loop is kinda strange. I think I’ve never seen this! Why was default.ipxe missing in the first place. How did you get it back? Can you please post the content of that file here in the forum. You should find this text file in /tftpboot/default.ipxe on youf FOG server (192.169.250.100).

@Tom-Elliott Yes

@Jarl2.0 If you are using zStd capture speed will be much slower than deploy speed. That is the nature of the compression tool. With gzip you don’t get as good of compression ratio or deploy speeds, but capture and deploy are similar in speed. For Zstd 11-13 is probably a pretty good range to stay in.

i like the idea of using /quit instead of /shutdown and getting sure the shutdown is a real one with shutdown -s -t 0 -f 😉
I never used the chkdsk portion but it would not do any harm 😄 but wasting time :p… well i do a defrag instead.

If there is still a hdd i think it would make sense to defrag before you write cereal to it 😉

@Sebastian-Roth Thanks alot i will try that 🙂

@chris178 Look in the FOG community scripts on git-hub: https://github.com/FOGProject/fog-community-scripts

Wayne wrote an excellent script called MakeFogMobile Download and install that. His script sets up a cron job to check to see if the IP address changes if so then it updates the fog configuration.

@joseska For other fog variables you can make http call to the fog server for the other settings from inside your snapin script.

Here is some info: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/9613/invoke-hostinfo-php-from-powershell

Hello. I know this is quite an old Post but it is quite close to my issue. I managed to deploy a dualbootloader (grub legacy) with a Ubuntu and a Windows 7 OS. Now i just wanna replace the Windows 7 with another Image but i wanna keep the existing Bootloader and all other OS in it. Is there a way to deploy a single OS into this bootloader or do i have to deploy the whole thing again (Grub+Ubuntu+ Windows 7)? Also is it possible to deploy an OS and then integrate it into the original FOG Bootmenu (Not just an iso i mean the native os)?

@Wayne-Workman Thank you too ! Will work this out 🙂

If i’ve any trouble i’ll come back here !

Nothing you should know other than you’ll be pleasantly surprised when your knowledge about Ubuntu directly applies to Debian while also having fewer problems too.

1.4.4 is the current stable release as of today.

@markus1204 said in FOG SERVER IMAGE TYPE:

.WIM is only used with Windows Image. These files cannot simply be added to the FOG Server and used as the image data on the server. Fog uses Partclone to create its images, and partclone is NOT the same as WDS/MDT/WIM files. We store the files with the .img extension so people know it’s an image file, but these are compressed (typcially). We don’t add the compression extension as users are now able to select their own method of compressing the image.

@Benjamin_D said in Adding FOG database to another FOG database.:

the centralized AWS EC2 FOG server gets up and running.

You will absolutely want to use certbot to configure https on that machine.
