      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 ») …

      My stuff :
      Server :
      FOG Version : Running Version 1.5.9
      OS : Debian GNU/Linux 10
      FOG Client Version : 0.12
      Specifications :
      > All images are on a Synology NAS storage : mounted with NAS_ip:/images
      > French user :)

        @jonathan-cool Can you share a picture of the device that fails? (please check for plugged in USB sticks, SD cards and such as well)

                @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)
