    Setting a service to Automatic Delayed will delay a service for two minutes after all automatic services are run.

    I thought about possible downsides of delaying the fog service, but in my situation I haven’t found any show stoppers yet.

    Our images have the fog service starting as Automatic so on first startup after deployment when the machines are connected wired all is normal with no delays. They rename and join the domain as per usual. We have a GPO that changes the fog service to Automatic Delayed but of course that doesn’t get applied until after the machine has joined the domain.

    This sequence seems to work fine for me so I’m sticking with it until we decide to have a look at 0.33

    Thanks again to the development team for all of their fine work.

    Sebastian, Try adjusting the Compression ratio on 0.33. This can now be done through the FOG GUI under FOG Configuration->FOG Settings->FOG Boot Settings->FOG_PIGZ_COMP.

    It has a range of 0 thru 9. A 9 is the highest compression rating and takes the longest time to process and upload as it is compressing data quite a bit. 0 is the worst compression rating, and takes the shortest time to process and upload. In years past, the default was at 3, but it was Hardcoded into the init.gz file. This setting allows you to decide how much compression you would like. It auto set’s at 9 though so I would start here.

    Or go to the proper link displayed at the bottom of the installer:

    Update…I had to copy off the /images folder…750GB!!! lol…
    Backed up the fog mysql database and re-built the Ubuntu server 12.0.4
    Re-installed fog, restored the database and /images folder.

    It works now. I would advise everyone who hasn’t found a logical answer to their problems to rebuild the server that fog is installed on.
    In the end, something was not working right on the server, no fault of FOG or the Developers.

    Just my 2 cents. Hope this helps someone else out.

    yup tried that too, doesnt fix the issue. The problem is the workflow - client computer set to upload a new image - folder is created under /images/dev, then is transported to its final spot /images/(image name) . This normally works flawlessly. Yet, it seems that because “root” is the owner of the temporary folder, it wont allow “fog” to copy it and then remove it from its temporary spot. Since this process in fog is consecutive and unattended, there’s no time to pause and chmod or chown the folder.

    Basically I need to make “fog” be the users who creates the temporary image folder. Yet, right now, its “root” who has that honor. I need to figure out where I can assign “fog” for the folder creation process.

    setup a storage node and a PXE server on the 2nd site.

    the images will FTP over using whatever VPN you have.

    clients will pxe boot and contact your main site for query of jobs.

    the location plugin etc should make them deploy from the local server.

    You may want to check the following files and verify that the mysql password is correct:

    Tom,

    Thank you for your time. This request is finished and resolved. Corrected the information in the Fog Settings. If I had to guess the admin at the time forgot the FOG password and create another account. I just got the “Your new FOG kernel has been installed” message. I will still do some pulls and puts of known images for my comfort. For the issue that initiated this issue I will test kernels and open a new thread if needed.

    [quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 26225, member: 7271”]The kernel you’re loading is not correct.

    Currently my kernels are 3.14.2,

    The Kernel being reported in the snapshot is 2.6.39.1_FOG_CORE

    Are you sure you’re following the instructions properly?[/quote]

    So I reran the config I tried earlier from the links I posted and its working now, appreciate the help!
    Issue resolved. i look forward to your new projects .33

    Current Config Is:

    -Ubuntu 10.04 (12 and 14 would not work for me with the whole UDPCast issue, even updating it to 20120424 version pre-install. It kept failing on UDCCast Setup and Configure so I ended up on ver 10.04)
    -Fog 0.32 (latest I could find)

    Also not all 500GB drives are equal…

    I’ve had some HDDs error out because they are probably a few bytes short of the others.

    If your not sysprepping or you don’t want to do it with sysprep, look up DISKPART and it’s Extend command.

    [quote=“David Schneider, post: 26216, member: 23828”]A request that I got for the machines is that the machine cannot be booted up after imaging the laptops. I don’t know why he just said that they need to be on the domain for the laptop to be loaded up. What I did was took his sysprepped .gho image sent to me on a thumb drive and loaded one of the laptops. After loading the laptop I pulled the image off of it using fog. He just want to be sure that the laptops get shutdown after imaging not booted up to the my sysprep screen. Something there gets corrupted if the initial settings are done off of the Domain.[/quote]

    Are the machines you are imaging suppose to be part of a domain? if that is no longer required, I would disable these settings before pushing the image to FOG.

    I kind of gathered that you are using a .gho image and loading it to the laptop, did you boot the laptop to windows before you pushed it to FOG?

    Windows has a process called Sysprep that generalizes the installation so it can be pushed to mulitple machines, if you allowed the laptop to boot after it was imaged and before it was uploaded to fog… Delete your image store, load the .GHO image to a laptop but DO NOT BOOT IT, instead set up a task on the server for an image upload. After the process completes, try to push your image to the laptops.
