FOG Image options when saving an image on a PC that has 2 hard disks?
-
@Jim-Holcomb Which version of the FOG inits do you have? It’s printed just below the ASCII FOG logo when you boot the PC to do a task…
-
@Jim-Holcomb Probably best if you schedule a debug task and when you get to the shell you can use Ctrl+PageUp to scroll back and see the version.
And while you are there, please run
lsblk -dpno KNAME -I 3,8,9,179,202,253,259 | uniq | sort -V, take a picture and post that here. -
@Sebastian-Roth v1.6
-
@Sebastian-Roth v 1.5.6.7
-
@Sebastian-Roth inits 20190805
-
@Jim-Holcomb Any thoughts here?

Fog says it cannot find any disks,
I just remembered we have made some changes to the multi disk code last year. While I can’t promise this will fix your issue I still need to ask you to update to the latest init as this is what we are working on. You can grab a copy of the latest inits (64 bit and 32 bit) and just put that in
/var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/directory (renaming the original ones just in cast).And if it’s still not working I ask you to take a picture of that actual error and post here. Makes it a lot easier to debug when we see where it actually fails. Otherwise it’s a lot of guessing and asking (possibly wrong questions).
-
@Sebastian-Roth Unable. I get this message when clicking on your 32 and 64 bit links:
Not Found
You seem to have stumbled upon a page that does not exist. Return to the home page. -
@Jim-Holcomb Real sorry, I forgot
https://at the beginning of the links and though they got interpreted as relative URIs. I fixed the URLs just now. -
@Sebastian-Roth Did what you requested, still same error, no disks found, even though lsblk shows the two hard drives and all the proper partitions.
-
@Jim-Holcomb I will just quote what I have said before:

@Sebastian-Roth It’s the same picture as before, but here you go
-
@Jim-Holcomb The
Init version: ...in the picture is still exactly the same as before. Something must have gone wrong when you updated the inits. Please run the following commands and post output here:ls -al /var/www ls -al /var/www/html ls -al /var/www/html/fog ls -al /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe -

@Jim-Holcomb Ok, seems like you have the new init files in place. Do you see it print a more current
Init version:on screen when it boots to a task?If you still see the old version I’d ask you to run the command
find /var/www -type f -name "init.xz"and post output here. -
@Sebastian-Roth root@fog:/images/m78win10# find /var/www -type f -name “init.xz”
/var/www/fog/service/ipxe/init.xz
/var/www/fog_1.5.4/service/ipxe/init.xz
-
@Jim-Holcomb Ohhhh well, now that I have looked at the code in detail and checked your pictures over and over again I noticed the kernel parameter
fdrive=/dev/nvme0n1which you have set as Host Primary Disk for when you were imaging only one drive. Setting this will cause the multi disk upload to fail. I know this is not great but really, what do you expect to happen if you force a primary disk setting and still want it to enumerate your two disks on it’s own. This can’t work.Please clear the Host Primary Disk setting from the host and capture again. I am very sure it will find your two disks. If it then fails at a different stop I need you to take a fresh picture and post that here.
-
@Sebastian-Roth Okay will do
-
@Sebastian-Roth Gosh darn it, that worked!!! What ultimately was done was what you suggested. Someone else had suggested the primary disk change, that was removed. But there was also some custominit.xz or something like that listed as well, so I changed that to init.xz. Can’t believe it, but that worked! Now going to try and deploy this same image to exact same hardware on different PC. I’ll let you know how the deploy goes. Sebestian (and team) thanks so much for your hard work and diligence on this. -Jim

@Jim-Holcomb Great to hear! Keep us posted. I won’t be online much in the next two days though…
