@processor Can you please schedule another upload/capture task but tick the checkbox for debug. Boot up the client and when you get to the shell run blkid -po udev /dev/sda1 and take a picture of the output.

Then run command fog to start the upload and step through the whole process. Please take pictures of the screen. What I am most interested in is the output of the lines where it says ... Partition count of ...

@Sebastian-Roth

Hi this is what you asked for :

Then the capture process start.

@processor Please download the latest init files (32 bit and 64 bit) and put those in /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/ (rename the originals for the time being).

@Sebastian-Roth
It’s resizing with this init files.
is it related with what I just saw in the 1.5.6 change log :
"Change detection of fixed partitions from labels to partition flags. "

I wait the end of the dump and will deploy, to check that everything is OK.

Proc.

@Sebastian-Roth

So the resizing worked, but I had a major issue at the end of the dump :

This prevent the task to end.

I’ll put back the right ini file and check that’s not a local issue.

@Sebastian-Roth

I can confirm that the fogftp error is related to the ini file uploaded as putting back the old file solved this problem.

[Sebastian Roth]

@processor Which version of the init file are we talking about here? Sure the new one is from 1.5.6 but what version is the older one from that you tested?

From the error message we see in the picture I still can’t imagine that a change of the init file (this being the only change) can cause this error. That ftp code is running on the FOG server and only invoked by the client through URL calls. Those URL calls have not changed in a long time as far as I know.

Are you absolutely sure that simply changing the init file (/var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/init.xz) from a new version to an older one (which version?) triggers fixes this error? How did you move to the older init version? Simply by copying the file or re-running an older installer?

@Sebastian-Roth
Hi Sebastien,

I’m using FOG 1.5.5 with init files included with it.
As suggested in a previous post (https://forums.fogproject.org/post/123192), I backed up init files stored in /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/ and put instead the last ini files.

I had the behavior described : shrinking OK but FTP error then. I put back the 1.5.5 ini files and then everything worked back. It’s may be just a coincidence I can try again.

[Sebastian Roth]

@processor Did you get to test if it’s definitely the changed inits causing/fixing the FTP error?

[processor]

@Sebastian-Roth

Hi Sebastien, I just did the test again and put the new ini files create the FTP error and put back the original 1.5.5 ini file correct it.

So you confirm the 1.5.6 include the fix? then I should just upgrade from 1.5.5 to 1.5.6, no?

So are you saying that using the 1.5.6 inits is causing the FTP issue but using the 1.5.5 inits you don’t get the FTP error but the UUID issue?!??!

Well we changed the FTP username from fog to fogproject from 1.5.5 to 1.5.6 but that is not hardcoded in the inits and shouldn’t cause this issue I think. You might still try updating to 1.5.6 to see if that fixes the problem.
