      This is because the start position of that partition is near the end of the disk and will be deployed as such (on bigger disks this means it will start near about where it does on the 500GB disk), which means it can’t deploy on smaller disks.

      Warning personal opinion here: If the target system will remain in the FOG environment after deployment (i.e. not created by a system reseller so that once its loaded you will never see it again). I would really have to ask the value of having a recovery partition at all. If this system is in a business environment who would waste the time restoring the system back using windows recovery vs just blasting a new image onto the target computer from FOG? I can tell you from experience if a system is damaged as much to need the recovery partition, the nuke and pave method is faster (assuming you can afford to loose all of the data on the disk). In my environment when we setup a new task sequence in MDT we always remove the recovery partition and make the 😄 drive fill the remaining space in the disk. That way the 😄 (or 😧 drive if needed) is always the last partition on the disk. This process may not fit your environment, but it works well for us.

      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!

        @Sebastian-Roth Hello, thanks for the help!
        I am afraid to upgrade to version 1.5.7 I am afraid of losing access to the images and inventoried hosts.

        Do I get all this after the upgrade?

        Unless you do something really bad, upgrading will only extend the sql database schema and not replace any of its contents. So upgrading will not loose any data or images on your fog server. The upgrade process does not touch anything in your /images directory either. While anything is possible historically we have not seen any such loss. If you are at all concerned make sure you have a backup or snapshot of the FOG server so you can restore it.

            @Gilberto-Ferraz Well, that isn’t what I wanted to hear. We had another thread just a few days ago where the mssql server went away.

            Lets start with

            sudo systemctl restart mariadb
            

            If no luck then lets see whats the status is

            sudo systemctl status maridb

              is that mariadb is no longer on my server

                @Gilberto-Ferraz I’m not a ubuntu admin but what does sudo apt-get install mariadb give you?

                @Developers would the fog 1.5.7 log list if the database was uninstalled for any reason?

                    @Gilberto-Ferraz then try sudo apt-get install mysql

                    I do find it very strange that the database service would be installed by the fog installer. Something unexpected must be going on with ubuntu.

                        I’m fairly sure 18.04 and newer have mariadb available.

                              @Gilberto-Ferraz So if you follow Tom’s lead does sudo apt-get install mariadb-server work better.

                              Secondly, I feel I need to apologies since the upgrade should have worked no problem. I have no idea that ubuntu would break.

                                  @Gilberto-Ferraz so again, if you run sudo apt-get install mariadb-server (now that we know the package name) what does apt-get tell you?

                                    @Gilberto-Ferraz Too bad I have been away for a couple of hours and did not know the Linux OS you have. If I’d known I would have warned you.

                                    There is a known issue when upgrading to 1.5.7 on Ubuntu!! If you say yes when the installer asks if it should re-install Apache/PHP it will also try to force a migration from mysql to mariadb and fails.

                                    Here are the steps to manually roll back to MySQL that will still have all your FOG information:

                                    sudo -i
                                    mv /var/lib/mysql /var/lib/mysql-mariadb
                                    apt-get remove mariadb-client mariadb-server
                                    cp -a /var/lib/mysql-5.7 /var/lib/mysql
                                    apt-get install mysql-client mysql-server
                                    systemctl start mysql

                                      Thanks a lot for the help. I’m already weekend. But then I test your solution. I’m glad to hear that the problem was not mine 🙂 but ubuntu 18.04 🙂 You will try to recover the system and install new centos.

                                        First make sure you get this all back to running on Ubuntu. Don’t try to move to CentOS in a rush. There are more things that can go wrong when moving to a new Linux OS.
