Then I chose Windows 7 as this is a Windows 7 64 bit image, then single disk-multiple partition which was the original settings, Partclone gzip (as these were formerly in Fog v1.2). Then the default for compression, partitions, etc… I I triple-checked the image path, and all was good. Any ideas?
So far this seems to match the settings. Maybe run
file /images/3050Corp/*and post here as well so we see if the files are actually in gzip compression format.From what you write it sounds as if you still cannot deploy that image to a client, right? So please take a picture of the error you get on screen when the client tries to deploy this image and post here. I am sure we can help you.

Oh boy, this doesn’t look good:
grubb@fogserver:~$ file /images/3050Corp/*
/images/3050Corp/d1.mbr: DOS/MBR boot sector MS-MBR Vista english at offset 0x162 “Invalid partition table” at offset 0x17a “Error loading operating system” at offset 0x199 “Missing operating system”, disk signature 0x59988117

Not sure if this really is as bad as it sounds. I am wondering about “MS-MBR Vista” and “disk signature 0x59988117”. I am not sure about the later but from memory I’d think that disk signature for MBR disks is different. But maybe this is some other signature unique to your installation, not sure. The other codes could just be information strings that would be shown if the MBR code doesn’t find an operating system or sees an invalid partition table but shouldn’t be used in normal operation.
Edit: I was wrong about the disk signature. Seems fine from what I read here: https://thestarman.pcministry.com/asm/mbr/Win2kmbr.htm#DiskSigs

So GZIP compression sounds good.

@Sebastian-Roth Thanks Sebastian,
I will give the next available 3050 I can get to, a thorough test to see if it will download the image. And if I receive any errors, I’ll let you know. -
@Sebastian-Roth -Yes, it’s working now. Once it pulled the image, then it showed the proper size.
-
@dbrilliant I’ve added all the images properly, and will test them out. Thanks all for your assistance.

You need to know that the image size in the web UI is only updated when using the image. But it’s not a sign for the image being valid or not.
