Thank you for the advice. These are 755’s with the ATI cards. Since the images taken should contain the drivers for the cards I am not overly concerned about making it work with them installed, but I may take a look at finding a kernel just for the experience. I have not taken any images, so now would be the best time to make any tweaks.

Have a great week and thank you again for the reply.

Tnx. I found answer! Need to edit /opt/fog/service/etc/config.php and /var/www/fog/commons/config.php. Need to edit root pasword to be the same in both files.

I am having a very similar, maybe the same problem. see: [url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/error-creating-tasks-internal-service-error.3798/[/url]

Yep that is the conclusion I came to. Except for me it was going up in the PHP versions. I’m running CentOS for the server because that is what I am most familiar with and I tried doing the “upgrades” outlined in one of the FOG Wikis right after I posted this. But no luck and I haven’t been able to get back to it except to load a PC with Ubuntu and download FOG 3.2. Someday.

Even if the NAS can use NFS it’s still a little hokey because of the FTP issue discussed in the [URL=‘http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/FOGUserGuide’]Wiki[/URL], “[B]KNOWN ISSUE[/B] You will get an error “Ftp connection to storage server has failed” at the end of uploading images though. You will have to manually rename and move the file from the dev directory to the directory below.”

I ended up getting around the issues by using VMware. I installed centos6 and FOG in a VM. I iSCSI attached my NAS to VMware and added another disk to the VM using the iSCSI as the source. I then mounted the new disk under /images.

It would be nice if in .33 the whole FTP thing went away since the client already has NFS access to the FOG server. It would be nicer to just have the clients pull directly from the NAS instead of routing the traffic through the FOG server. hint hint

It does sound like a RAID driver issue. Most likely you’ll need to use a different kernel or [URL=‘http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Building_a_Custom_Kernel’]build your own[/URL].

I ran into a similar issue, but only on one model of laptop, Dell E6510. I tested the same Windows 7 image on another model (HP) and it worked and uploaded as NTFS versus Raw. If anyone gets any information on how to fix this issue, it would be greatly appreciated. Again - Windows 7 64 bit - NTFS File System according to Windows and Partition Magic - Fog only sends up as Raw regardless of image type (Single Partition/NTFS Resizable, Multiple Partition/Single Disk).

Thanks.

That is certainly an option, but it doesn’t solve my issue of mounting a larger storage location for my sites that can’t have large local storage on their storage nodes (VM environment doesn’t lend itself to a large VM for storing images).

For the custom task to clear itself from Active Tasks you may be able to switch out pxelinux with ipxe. Using the following embedded script to undionly.kpxe will send the mac to a php script on your web server which can delete the task. This method would delete the active task before it has finished though which may not be desirable in your environment.

-fogboot.ipxe

[CODE]#!ipxe
dhcp
chain http://1.1.1.1/images/boot.php?mac=${net0/mac}&asset=${asset:uristring}
boot[/CODE]

-build command
[CODE]make bin/undionly.kpxe EMBED=fogboot.ipxe[/CODE]

-sample boot.php
[CODE]<?php
$mac = urldecode($_GET[‘mac’]);
// Do some stuff with the mac here…

$fogServer = “1.1.1.1”;
$kernel = “images/bzImage”;
$kernelOptions = “root=/dev/ram0 rw ramdisk_size=127000 ip=dhcp dns= mode=onlydebug”
$initrd = “images/init.gz”;

echo writeIPXE($fogServer, $kernel, $kernelOptions, $initrd);

function writeIPXE($fogServer, $kernel, $kernelOptions, $initrd){
$ipxe = <<<DOC
#!ipxe
kernel http://$fogServer/$kernel $kernelOptions
initrd http://$fogServer/$initrd
boot
DOC;
return $ipxe;
}
?>[/CODE]

Yes, no luck

Sorry for the initial post. I have no excuse for the immaturity displayed. However, by tinkering with the server, I’ve seemed to get a decent grasp on the basic tasks provided by the software. Again, apologies for all of this.

Thank you, I greatly appreciate it.

Got it, thanks.

But any idea why the web-based config options don’t work?

worked fine

Good to hear. I work exclusively with OEM computers so the multiple partition is not a new thing for me to cause issues.

I am a Technology Director for a k-12 Public school and I use FOG to deploy my Windows and Linux machines. I LOVE IT. I would really like to have a FOG client for Ubuntu that would be able to Power down computers on a schedule like the GREEN FOG does for Windows.
