      @sourceminer sysprep is shutting it down or you are picking start button -> shutdown?

      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!

        @george1421 Sysprep is set to shutdown. Also the settings for Ram Disk were already at 275000, and the capture resize was changed from 7 to 10.

          @sourceminer Well… all of the probable issues seem to be a miss with this problem.

          Ok lets do what partclone is telling us.

          Schedule a debug capture if its still not in that state. Get to the FOS Linux command prompt on the target computer.

          at the command prompt key in fsck -t ntfs /dev/sda4 Lets check the file system in linux. This is a command guess. If the fsck program completes without issue then issue fog to single step through the image capture.

          I’m thinking there is something with that partition its not liking.

              Ok so when I attempted to run fsck -t ntfs /dev/sda4 I got not found…
              So I ran it as fsck -t ntfs dev/sda4 and it worked but didn’t seem to do anything or there were no errors Tried to run fog still an error. Very puzzling.

                @george1421 Attempted to run through this article: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Windows_Dirty_Bit

                • rerunning fog capture in debug to test.

                  Re-ran FOG and it still complained with same error… Not sure what else it could be.

                    @sourceminer ref: https://medium.com/@mikeycpham/using-clonezilla-to-image-and-getting-the-error-ntfclone-ng-c-ntfs-volume-dev-sd-is-7a467b617c4d

                    Clonezilla also sees this error.

                    In your case you will want to pxe boot into fog instead of usb booting clonezilla.

                    ntfsfix -d /dev/sdb1
                    

                    Clears the dirty flag.

                      @george1421 So yes I just ran that again… says it was processed successfully. Same as before. I will see if that -d did anything else

                        @george1421 OK, finally, was able to capture the image successfully. This partition /dev/sda4 apparently was the recovery partition so all efforts prior to this (IE hibernation settings, and running chkdsk on the os volume were not the issue). What fixed the issue was running:

                        ntfsfix -d /dev/sda4

                        Suggestion: would it be a good idea to test these dirty flags prior to running the lengthy imaging process so that perhaps we don’t have to do so much guesswork.

                          @sourceminer said in Capture Image partclone fail.:

                          Suggestion: would it be a good idea to test these dirty flags prior to running the lengthy imaging process

                          I know there is a check for the dirty bit before imaging starts, but that might only be on the OS partition. Looking in the code I see a resetFlags function that actually runs the “ntfsfix -d” command. I’m not sure how its applied. I know if your drive contains the windows dirty bit the imager will stop before it starts deploying anything. So its not clear why it didn’t catch the issue on the 4th partition. But I do have to say its rare that the recovery partition would have been shut down uncleanly.

                          But in the end I’m glad you have it worked out.
