Make fog deploy the image to entire disk

[obeh]

I have a project that requires me to deploy more then 100 laptops (3 different brands).
I’m able to clone and deploy the images successfully.
The issue is that fog is deploying on the target system only the used space and leaves the rest of the disk as un assign, what requires me to allocate the space back.

Is there a way to tell fog to use the entire disk and not only allocate the space he needs to deploy?

@obeh Please take a look at he (text) files d1.partitions, d1.minimum.partitions and d1.fixed_size_partitions that you find in your /images/<IMAGENAME>/ directory on your FOG server and post the contents here.

By the way, this is the info about my setup:
Fog is installed on ubuntu 18.04 and is acting as DHCP
FOG is on the latest version
Source OS: ubuntu 18.04 EUFI
Source laptop and destination laptop are equal

here are the files you asked for:

d1.partitions:

@obeh Which version of FOG do you use? From what I see so far it looks like you are running into a bug where NVMe disks were not resized/expanded on deploy. We fixed that not long ago. Manually updating the init files should fix this for you.

Download the latest inits - 64 bit / 32bit and put those in /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/ - rename the original ones to have a backup copy of those. As well go to the FOG web UI -> FOG Configuration -> FOG Settings -> FTP Server and increase KERNEL RAMDISK SIZE from 127000 to 275000 if you haven’t done that already.

Now try deploying again and see if it is resized/expanded to full disk size properly.

I’m on 1.5.6

Edit :
It’s working!
Now i have snapin that is not working.
I’m trying to mount an extra disk after the deploy.
Is the snapin can be used in that way.
if so what do i need to do to make it work?

[Sebastian Roth]

@obeh Great to hear this is fixed. May I ask you to open a new topic to not mix things up. Other people will find information better if it’s not all together in one topic. Give us a bit more details like what exactly you are trying to do with the snapin and possible fog.log from the client.

[obeh]

@Sebastian-Roth will do.
Thank you
