I love this actually working with the device instead of just punching buttons…reminds me of the good old days of DOS. I look forward to working with everyone.

btw…after all of that I decided to put it on a different box. I would have loved to troubleshot why it wasn’t working correctly, but a deadline was looming so I killed it and reimaged the workstations again…took far less time than the first.

[quote=“thomas Bollig, post: 12433, member: 4211”]Thanks again for the info. Here is a little more info for you
My etc/export on the FOG server is

/mnt/images *(ro,sync,no_wdelay,insecure_locks,no_root_squash,insecure)
/mnt/images/dev *(rw,sync,no_wdelay,no_root_squash,insecure)

and on the NFS server
/images 10.32.3.27/22 (rw,sync,no_root_squash,)
/mnt/images 10.32.3.27/22 (ro,sync,no_wdelay,insecure_locks,no_root_squash,insecure)
/mnt/images/dev 10.32.3.27/22 (rw,sync,no_wdelay,no_root_squash,insecure)

Fog Server Permission on /mnt/images
drwxrwxrwx 2 nobody nobody 37 May 30 07:06 dev
-rw-r–r-- 1 nobody nobody 0 May 29 11:58 mntcheck
[root@fog ~]#

NFS Server permissions on /images
drwxrwxrwx 2 fog root 37 May 30 09:06 dev
-rw-r–r-- 1 fog root 0 May 29 13:58 mntcheck
-rwxrwxrwx 1 fog root 0 May 29 12:46 .mntcheck
drwxrwxrwx 4 fog root 29 May 29 12:11 .Trash-0[/quote]

Also there is not authentication needed to access the nfs

Hi,

all relevant changes to the kernel are made if you compile it yourself, there is a wiki articel that describes howto do that.
If you have brand new hw you need to compile your own kernel.

I’d suggest adding in the following lines right after “ntfs-3g -o force,rw $part /ntfs”:

[CODE]printf “Error Message: $?\n”;
sleep 10;[/CODE]

Or use echo instead of printf. Just to see if there’s anything useful in there.

Tried finding the exit codes online, but it looks like the fastest way to find them would be to pull up the ntfs-3g man page from the console to see what the exit codes are (here’s the reference page which suggests doing that):

Hi,

you mean the function was switched off not removed, it’s still there in the webif and service client but without any function?!
Am i right if i say the host registration is depricated?

Will the leftover be removed in 0.33?
Can someone tell me why this function has been deactivated?

Hi,

So I figured it out. Capone adds an option to the PXE boot menu, which is great, but my menu is not stock, and the automatic entry it adds was failing. Fix that and it boots fine.

So, it is possible to set Capone to use a different NFS/TFTP/Web server if you want to. The script calls on what is defined in the PXE boot option, not what FOG uses for settings.

Hi,

i found something more:

[INDENT=1]where 3774771 is the number of 1K blocks. You can use “fdisk -l” on the original system to obtain the exact amount. However, I suppose you can obtain the rounded amount from partimage imginfo command and use an overestimated value;[/INDENT]

[INDENT=1]where loop0 has to be replaced with a higher numbered device (loop1, loop2, etc.) if loop0 is already in use (you can also use the -f option to use the next one available);[/INDENT]

[INDENT=1]mount -o ro /dev/loop0 mnt[/INDENT]
[INDENT=1] [/INDENT]
[INDENT=1] [/INDENT]
[INDENT=1]5. and that is! You can now browse the files in the mnt directory.[/INDENT]

Hello Yoda

I think there is one step missing, because:

create an empty file connect it to a loop device create mountpoint mount loop device/file to the mountpoint
-> 5) you see an empty filesystem 😉

So between 2) and 4) one has to restore the partimage image to this filesystem… right?[/QUOTE]

Can someone tell if these steps are correct and working?

Greetz X23

and the Award goes to Kevin 😉 thx man

hi andrew, not not done it, but would also be interested in anyone who has considered mechanisms during the image writing to tell the SSD that it is empty again… i.e. knowing/ensuring that FOG sends the required TRIM commands so that the SSD starts wil a full set of erased cells…

Have you first created an image definition in “Image Management”? Once you have done that you can find your host in “Host Management” and associate that image with the host in the “Host Image” option. After that you can upload the actual image from the host.

What Version of Linux are you running and what version of FOG?

Have you updated to the latest FOG kernel? there is a 3.8.8.8 update out now and you can update from the Fog Web Management.

Try changing your partition on Image Management to a “Multiple Partition Image - All Disks (Not Re-sizable)”

I use the “what’s new” link, and there are always plenty of new threads and updates for me. If people ask a question and never come back, I’ve got plenty to work with without trying to chase them down o_O
