Multiple disk support
-
Does FOG currently offer any support for restoring images onto specific disks when the target machine(s) have two or more internal (SATA/NVME) disks?
I think at the moment the user would have to disable or remove all of the drives from the machines being imaged with FOG except the disk they want the image to be restored to right? If they wanted to restore to the second or third disk.
The way I’d like to see this work is there would be a way to enter a preferred device name for the target disk or optionally the user would get presented with a list of disks on each machine before the restore starts so that the user would have to manually pick the disk they wish to restore the image to.
Thanks
PS I’ve got FOG running great on a £30 X96 Air TV box running Armbian with gigabit ethernet and a nippy internal eMMC disk etc that fits in your pocket. Its very cool!

@danboid You can set a specific disk for each host individually in its host settings. Have you tried that yet? This way you can make FOG capture and deploy only from/to a certain disk. Depending on the FOG version used you can select a disk via Linux device file name (e.g. /dev/sda) which works ever since I know FOG or in the latest version you can also use disk size or disk serial number…

What options are available to select a disk in FOG? Can I use Linux device file name, disk size, and disk serial number?

Yes to all three if you use FOG 1.5.10.
