      I’m almost prepared for releasing a working model of my init.gz (non 64bit) that is now operating with creating the image. I’m just doing some testing to see if I can get the progress information to display. However, it works across the board, extfs or ntfs, and theoretically multicast.

      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)

        Thank you, Gilou and Tom! I wish I knew more about programming, and really hope I can do something to help, but it looks like my only hope will be waiting for you guys to come up with a working solution.

          Attached, find my patch for the fog script to use partclone instead of partimage.

          Hopefully it helps.

          Copy it to your fog server, preferably in /tftpboot/fog/images

          Then:

          Run these commands to edit your init.gz file. (MAKE SURE YOU’RE ON AS ROOT YOU NEED TO MOUNT THE IMAGE)
          [code]cd /tftpboot/fog/images
          mkdir tmp
          gunzip init.gz
          mount -o loop init tmp
          patch -p1 tmp/bin/fog < fog.diff.txt
          umount tmp
          rm -rf tmp
          gzip -9 init[/code]

            Hi Tom,

            Can I use this script under version 0.32? Honestly, I like 0.32 better than 0.33b

            Thanks,
            Hongyun

              Here is the result when I applied the patch to 0.32, and attached is the fog.rej file.

              patch -p1 tmp/bin/fog < ./fog.diff.txt

                I’ll take a look at the fog 0.32 fog script and make the changes to it. The diff I gave you before is for 0.33

                    If you could make it work on 0.32, it would be so wonderful! Thank you very much!

                      If you’re using the 0.32 init.gz file, it doesn’t come precompiled with the partclone files.

                      Have you built your own init.gz file with partclone? If so, then I can do the script, if not, there’s not a lot that I can do to help.

                      I could build you a custom init.gz but I don’t know how much you would enjoy that as I don’t have the capacity (at the moment) to test this. I’d basically be building in the dark.

                        Thanks for trying to help me. I can try the 0.33b version again. But do you know why when I patch 0.33b there is one error, is it critical? Please see my above post.

                          Also, I will try to give more insight on how to be able to resize ext[34] partition… There are no reason not to do the same we do for NTFS partition using resize2fs, assuming it’s inside the init.gz, haven’t even checked for it yet 🙂

                            Gilou,

                            It does not currently contain resize2fs. I’m building another version of init.gz right now with resize2fs enabled. Hopefully this will help you, and all of us out.

                            Thank you,
