Full Size of HDD being captured
-
Hi all, I was wondering if anyone might have some idea why all the images I capture weather Windows, Linux, Chrome OS is capturing the entire HDD not just the active OS. For example my latest Windows 10 capture was 479GB when only 77GB are being used and the rest is free space. I am using FOG 1.5.4 and none of the images have encryption enabled or anything. The settings I use is subject to the image I capture, for Windows I use (OS-WIN10, Single Disk-Resizable, Everything, Compression -6) For linux (OS-Linux, Single Disk-Resizable, Everything, Compression - 0) etc… I only want to capture the active disk partitions or space, I am using a ton of storage to keep these images and I would like a better option if possible.
Thanks -

Are you sure? What’s the output of the command
manage-bde -status C:run on the machine you capture the image from? -
The output is “Fully Decrypted” Unlocked…this is also happening with Ubuntu 20.04 images, and Fedora 33 images. It is capturing the entire 500GB HDD and not just the 30 or 60GB data section, in the earlier versions of FOG this wasn’t the case but now in 1.5.4 it happens with all images even chrome OS and any others I try.
Thanks for all you help, I am going to try maximum compression see if that helps.

Pay close attention to the information in the blue partclone screens when capturing an image. Does it say
RAW?Beside that I am wondering why you still use 1.5.4. It’s years old and we fixes many bugs since that release.

Hi @Sebastian-Roth, I think I am miss understanding what I am reading and have it wrong, when I look at my images, there is a column “Image size on client” and this is the full capacity, but after reviewing my storage node, only about 15GB have been used. Is there a way for me to verify the captured image size and not the size on the client???

@markus1204 Ahhh, I knew it would be something simple…
Run
du -h --max-depth=1 /images/on your FOG server to get a listing of the images’ size.As well check out this post: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/15501/request-dev-branch-web-ui-show-how-much-space-an-image-takes-up-on-the-server
