FOG 1.5.10 images dir is weird

[ghayut]

hello all

my fog server (version 1.5.10 on Ubuntu 20) has a sub directory in the /images/ partition called dev that has all the images in it, weirdly enough some images are in a dedicated folder inside /images/ but the rest are in /images/dev/ and has an ID for a library, the only way i can distinguish them is by their date of creation.

how can i reset this back so each image will have it’s own directory?

@ghayut /images/dev is the placeholder when you capture images.

THe ‘id for library’ as you put it is the machine’s mac address that was used to capture the image.

As apart of the process of the capture, once the actual block capture is completed it checks back into the server which the server then moves the image from /images/dev/<macaddress> to /images/<imagepathname>

If you don’t see this occurring it’s almost always because the capture didn’t completely fully and the capture task was just powered down.

If that helps (I hope it should) then you can manually move the image to hte pathname it’s expecting.

There is no automation we can provide that will be able to do this for you though.

@Tom-Elliott thank you very much!
I didn’t consider it to be a MAC address where I absolutely should have .

So the copying process doesn’t happen but the image is fully useable, I will sort this out manually and consider re-installing the server so it will start doing this automatically…

Thanks again!
