      Should also mention I’m using the latest available linux kernel version for the test 6.6.1

      Have you tried the FogApi powershell module? It's pretty cool IMHO

        Found that enabling just the PCI option

        PCI bus based UFS Controller support     
        

        is all that is needed for the disk to show in FOS

        On my first attempt to image though it gave errors regarding partition overlap and partition size. The disk shows in fog as 119 GB, my win 10 image (single disk resizable) is under 22 GB. Not sure how it isn’t expanding into the disk, there may be something else special needed.
        Trying a different image.

          @JJ-Fullmer No difference with a different image.
          This is the error message

          Maybe it’s because it’s captured as /dev/nvmeXX instead of /dev/sdaXX ? Just brainstorming there.

          Doing an update to the latest dev version just to be sure this isn’t fixed in a recent patch.

            Made a pull request for including the ufs in the kernel config
            https://github.com/FOGProject/fos/pull/78

            Probably should get it fully working before doing that pull though

            @SEBASTIAN-ROTH any thoughts?

              @JJ-Fullmer I’m currently working on new kernels and inits. Having issues with building partclone for the inits, but I’ll hopefully have some time this weekend to get it done.
              I will include the ufs changes for the kernels.

              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! Get in contact with me (chat bubble in the top right corner) if you want to join in.

              Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

                So more findings

                Did a test of a different image that is based on /dev/sda instead of /dev/nvmeXnX

                That image deployed with the modified kernel just fine (minus booting to the OS, but that was a windows server image, which I didn’t expect to work on a surface go).

                But wait there’s more!

                As I started playing around in a debug session I found that the UFS disk wants to have a sector size of 4096. This is the dump after manually creating the partitions to match the d1.minimum.partitions of the image

                 sfdisk --dump /dev/sda

                Whereas the header of d1.minimum.partitions in my normal base image is 512, though it seems like it might actually be 2048 based on math of partitionSectors/sector-size = size in MB (but I might be wrong about that formula, it’s been a minute since I’ve had to deal with sectors).

                This is the contents of my d1.minimum.partitions from the image I want to deploy

                I tried what @Sebastian-Roth mentions in another post here https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/15608/imaging-from-large-drive-to-small-drive/4?=1700488459744 and what @Tom-Elliott mentions here https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/13004/error-trying-to-restore-gpt-partition-tables-on-multiple-dell-machines/13?=1700488480736

                When I try to restore from the original file I get an error saying the last-lba is invalid/too high for the disk.

                What’s weird, is I can use that syntax to restore the server based image, and that min parts file also has a higher lba, but it makes a little sense as the final sector is below the drive’s “31246330” last lba.

                cat ../SVR-Base-Stable/d1.minimum.partitions
                label: gpt

                So I made a backup of my original image mbr and patition files and edited the d1.minimum.partitions to look like this

                label: gpt
                label-id: 745A6813-735A-4940-840D-28D0E805850A

                unit: sectors
                first-lba: 6
                last-lba: 31246330
                sector-size: 4096
                
                /dev/nvme0n1p1 : start=        256, size=      25600, type=C12A7328-F81F-11D2-BA4B-00A0C93EC93B, uuid=CFB2D745-2975-480D-BD56-EA18B65E03C5, name="EFI system partition", attrs="GUID:63"

                /dev/nvme0n1p3 : start=      29952, size=    7340032, type=EBD0A0A2-B9E5-4433-87C0-68B6B72699C7, uuid=857B1626-9DC1-44FD-8120-2AB922BBBD85, name="Basic data partition"

                Making it match the dump after making the partitions by MB and GB size manually.

                After editing it this command worked without error

                sfdisk /dev/sda < /images/Base-Stable/d1.minimum.partitions
                

                So I made a new version of the d1.mbr
                sgdisk -b /mnt/d1.mbr /dev/sda

                And popped that on the server to test deploying with that. ON this test, I’m not editing the d1.partitions or d1.shrunken.partitions which may make it so it doesn’t expand properly, but we’ll see how it goes…

                It got past the previous errors and is now imaging! woo hoo!
                How to fix this permanently though, that’s a different question.

                Have you tried the FogApi powershell module? It's pretty cool IMHO

                  The image did complete but it did not boot into Windows. Looks like I need to embed the storage controller driver for UFS.

                  Or it could be a 512b vs 4k block disk type issue.

                    It’s looking like its a 4k block issue.
                    I was trying to find a formulaic way to change the partitions files to line up to the 4k layout, like dividing by 8 and some other tweaking as needed but found it more complicated than expected.

                    Any ideas?

                    Have you tried the FogApi powershell module? It's pretty cool IMHO

                      It’s looking like I have to find a way to either capture the image or a separate image from a device that defaults to 4k logical sectors or a way to force the device to change sector size to 512 when deploying a 512e based image

                      I tried hdparm but got this error

                      hdparm --set-sector-size 512 --please-destroy-my-drive /dev/sda
                      
                      /dev/sda:
                      READ_LOG_EXT(SECTOR_CONFIGURATION) failed: No such file or directory
                      

                      I also tried capturing the image using the new kernel on the off chance that would make a difference, but no good.

                      I guess I will have to try making an image from a 4k native device since it’s not being changed?

                        @JJ-Fullmer I captured an image from the surface go 4 with the new kernel that has UFS support and I was able to deploy that image with its 4k block based partition table without issue.
                        Of course that image can now not be deployed on 512e block based disks.

                        If I ever get the time, I may try testing manipulation of the parition blocks and using an efi tool in a fog post install script to make it so an image can be deployed to either but its probably unlikely to be possible.

                        For reference, here’s what the 4k block based partitions look like

                        Something odd is it doesn’t look like the main OS partition (sda3) shrunk, but it for sure did as it is only 10.56 GB on the server (compressed size) and deploys around 20 GB on the client, same size as the VM based 512e image.

                          @JJ-Fullmer I just took another look as I’ve been just maintaining a separate 4kn image and realized that the disk isn’t expanding after imaging.
                          I’ll do a debug session tomorrow and report back.

                            Did a debug session and ntfsresize with -c to check and --info shows partition 3 as resizable but it’s not being resized after imaging.

                            Running the image in deploy and seeing what it says after imaging and will see if there are any errors.

                            I fear this is going to be a 4kn drive alignment/resize issue.

                                In the end I am maintaining a separate image, I was able to get management to let us buy a separate surface go 4 for maintaining the 4k disk image.
                                I found that bhyve based VMs can be set to 4k blocks but it was cumbersome to get it to boot to fog to capture the image at the end. And when that image was deployed, it did not expand on the surface go.
