@sebastian-roth I was referring to my intended use case. I want to capture an image from a computer and automatically copy the individual files from the image onto a file server. In order to do that, I need a script that runs on the server, not the host. I could find a way to trigger it still (some primitive form of RPC, maybe a quick HTTP request with wget), but it wouldn’t be quite as convenient.

@tom-elliott I am actually thinking it might have been a BIOs setting. It was on RAID mode so I reinstalled Windows and just captured it and it appears to have booted back into my Windows this time.

I’ll finish up this install and try again and let you know.
Thanks!

@techadmin Yes you can delete those. Also you should read this: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Troubleshoot_MySQL#Repair_broken_database

@UWPVIOLATOR This has been fixed in v0.11.14, which will be released with the next server RC. I’d still recommend using process-explorer to find out why the file is locked though.

To get v0.11.14 you can either wait for the next server release, or download it from here: https://github.com/FOGProject/fog-client/releases/tag/0.11.14

@bigchief Sounds like a mismatch of bios/ueif to me. A UEFI system can sometimes have the feature to optionally legacy boot (bios). What mode is the firmware in? (bios/legacy or UEFI)? So figure that out - and then dig through the firmware settings to make sure no optional Legacy modes are enabled.

Also, could be something as simple as turning off the HDD’s RAID mode in firmware and enabling AHCI mode.

@warp said in WoL and VLAN:

On the other hand a tool of WoL Windows works well !

Maybe that’s from a different subnet/vlan? Can you try from a Windows machine in the same subnet as your FOG server is, so 172.16.8.x! If that works than we can start looking into FOG being the issue.

@bartont126 I’m glad you have it all worked out. I checked in on the other threads and it looks like you found out about the dirty bits and shutting windows down properly and how to add additional storage to your fog server. well done.

@stakey Which version of FOG is this? Do you see all the hosts if you set to LIST instead of SEARCH (FOG Configuration -> FOG Settings -> FOG View Settings -> VIEW DEFAULT SCREEN)?

@bartont126 On Linux systems you can easily mount drives anywhere in the filesystem. So you can just hock up the huge drive to your machine, check the name it came up with, mount that, move your images and remount it in /images location.

Hint: Please be very careful with those commands and make sure you understand every step before proceeding! There is a chance that you wipe all your data from the server if you don’t know what you do and things go wrong! I am not liable for any actions done blindly following the steps posted here.

That said, shutdown the server, connect the new drive and boot it up again.

sudo -i fdisk -l

That should print out all the disks, where quite often /dev/sda is your system disk and the new one might be /dev/sdb. See if it is partitioned properly yet. If not, go ahead:

aptitude install parted parted /dev/sdb mklabel gpt mkpart primary ext4 1MiB 100% mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1 mkdir /newdisk mount /dev/sdb1 /newdisk service nfs-kernel-server stop mv /images/* /newdisk mv /images/.mntcheck /newdisk umount /newdisk rmdir /newdisk mount /dev/sdb1 /images service nfs-kernel-server start

You should see the new bigger disk space in the FOG web UI now. But to make this change persistent you need to add an entry to /etc/fstab so the big disk will be mounted automatically on boot. Add the following line.

/dev/sdb1 /images ext4 defaults 0 0

Now reboot you FOG server and see if everything is up to your needs.

@flipwalker This is what you’re looking for: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/8151/pxe-quick-registration-w-a-hostname/2
If you need further help, just ask.

Rather than changing FOS /etc/fstab file, I believe it would be better to pass it as a kernel argument like clamMount=x.x.x.x:/some/clam/av/dir and have the script mount that dynamically. Then it can be user adjustable like image mounts are already.

@martinetwork There is no way we can help without you telling us more details about your network. Broadcast domains, VLANs, switches, routers/layer-3-switches, config, …

Quite often forwards are to be configured for one particular sender. So your PDQ waking properly does not mean much.

@wayne-workman as in RC12? Ok I have another Issue I will be posted but testing again to make sure I can replicate it before posting. Its with Snapins not reporting they are finished and then keep trying to run over and over again. Windows 10 and Windows 7.

Trying to avoid updating to RC and waiting for next stable but if its fixed in an RC we might have to go for it.

@D_quiros Please check the apache logs. See my signature…

@sebastian-roth That did the trick! That server can now update its kernel.

It’s interesting to see how two different causes have similar results.

@george1421 that’s what I told him too.

@orioliz Have you done a proper filesystem check on that system? Boot it up using a live Linux CD/DVD and run fsck /dev/sda1

@wayne-workman
Thanks, next time i will take some time before acting and wasting my time.
I keep this guide for the next time.
Thank.
Eric.

By the way, love the new look on the FOG
