@Tom-Elliott Yep, I caught that workaround in the earlier post. I moved the image folder from /images/dev to /images, but still resulted in the same error.

One thing I noticed this morning, is that the image capture process is hanging at 99% on the task page, as in for at least 45 minutes. Not sure if that is a symptom or the cause.

The previous post was suspect of a very recent init version – but i’m on the most recent dev-branch.

Thank you!

Thank you george1421 that 's was the solution.
I was troubleshooting remotely, and the technician on site insisted that images had already been downloaded onto it.

I understand your point of view, but I also have to remain anonymous to my colleagues.

Solved !

@george1421 noted. When I was initially testing, I did not know this and it took some digging in the forums to find this tidbit of knowledge. Given that having separate storage groups stops replication between the nodes in my mind it makes most sense to have a more distributed setup of normal servers at each site to handle all of my requirements. Thanks for the input!

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!

@rodluz
Problem solved - the disk with the image was damaged

@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👍

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

@Tom-Elliott can confirm, this does now appear to work in 1.6 - huzzah! @george1421 looks like your hard work has paid off and it will eventually be in the stable branch!

@george1421 No, they were in proper failover config and the options replicated between the scopes. But it’s all good now and that’s the important thing ❤
