      (I know I’m talking in circles its been a long day).

      No, I clearly see what you mean! Though I still think this is something we should fix right in the original init scripts! But I am open to other ways of solving this properly as well.

      Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

        @sebastian-roth Well the issue (I see as a non-programmer) is that the fixed partitions names may be in a number if different base languages (I tried to find how many native language versions of windows there are, but failed. I can tell you there are 101 native language packs) managing that many different variations would be huge. Other than their label I’m not sure how we could properly identify the partitions. I’m open for ideas too. I wonder if windows uses a consistent UUID of the partition(??).

        We could either poke the right values into the inits using a post install script, or the main inits would have to be able to reach out and read a file on the FOG server that would tell it about the native language for the windows clients. But some how the settings need to be IT Admin configurable. Possibly even via a FOG run time variable where it would pass the real (native language) name of reserved and system partitions… (just thinking out loud here).

        Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!

          Hi,
          Thanks to Tom … the issue is not completely resolved but “in progress” …

          • I edited the d1.fixed_size_partitions : “2:1”
          • after a new DL of the image, the resultt is :
            https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B48PuYLEHxQLWWNDR2E0QWhPZEU/view?usp=sharing

          Same result o7010, hp8000 or 640G2.

          How can expand the space of C after deploy ?

          My stuff :
          Server :
          FOG Version : Running Version 1.5.9
          OS : Debian GNU/Linux 10
          FOG Client Version : 0.12
          Specifications :

            @jonathan-cool Remove the 2 in the fixed file and deploy the image to a client…

              Hi,
              If i add only « :1 » in the d1.fixed_size_partitions, i have this error :
              https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B48PuYLEHxQLaUMxaWpOcmRnb3M/view?usp=sharing

              If i add « 2:1 » in the file d1.fixed_size_partitions and use setupcomplete.cmd to expand the space of C after deploy (by using diskpart utility, https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/1178/extend-your-disk-partition-to-max/4), it work on Optiplex7010 … but NOT in a smaller disk (hp2530p, « Target partition size is smaller than source ») …

                        @jonathan-cool Makes sense. With 2:1 it will think that the OS partition shouldn’t get resized, so it reads the original size (which is 160GB) which in turn is bigger than the target hard drive.

                        I am not sure why :1 by itself wouldn’t work though.

                        Can you try leaving the file empty and see if that helps?

                        I have Dutch Windows which also doesn’t get have reserved system picked up properly and for me the file is simply empty. Which seems to work alright.

                          Failed … and same error.
                          But i agree with your idea and, it’s make sense.

                          Maybe i don’t use the right process to create my VM into Virtualbox …
                          I choosed a 160Gb Virtual Size disk …

                            @jonathan-cool Dynamic or Static? (Dynamic could cause issues, not to mention it’s slow)

                            You do seem to have a lot of empty space in your virtual environment, but this shouldn’t really impact the deployment process, imo.

                            Resizable image type should be able to resize it correctly.

                                  @jonathan-cool Sorry, forgot to reply.

                                  As far as I can recall, dynamic disk can give issues for resizable image type. I haven’t been able to find when/how this was a problem using the search, however.

                                  Only advice I can give is to try and make it a fixed size drive and see if that helps at this point

                                    Marked this solved as the initial issue can be circumnavigated and we have a github issue open on that topic.

                                    Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)
