Latest FOG 0.33b

[Troye Johnson]

I was thinking I can build you a vmware server giving you full access if that would help any?

[joacliba]

With the latest revision, I am able to backup a multipartition disk, but when I try to restore, it only says “task completed” but nothing is done.

[Tom Elliott]

What kind of multipart? Single or all?

[joacliba]

Single, one disk multiple partitions.

[Tom Elliott]

Is this is multi-boot system (Windows and Linux?)

[joacliba]

Yes. Well, NTFS and ext partitions, as windows isn’t installed yet.

[Tom Elliott]

That’s a kink I’ve yet to figure out. It has to create the partitions before it tries to restore the partitions. I don’t know how this is completed as the scripts used for the deploy process are:
[code] elif [ “$imgType” = “mps” ]; then
# Restore multipartion for single drive
echo -n " * Looking for Hard Disks…“;
#disk=fogpartinfo --list-devices 2>/dev/null | cut -d' ' -f 1
getHardDisk;
echo “Done”;
echo " * Using Hard Disk: $hd”;

                if [ -n "$hd" ]
                then 
                    # check image
                    if [ -d "$imagePath" ]
                    then 
                        tmpMBR="${imagePath}/d1.mbr";
                        if [ -f "$tmpMBR" ]
                        then

You’ll notice it doesn’t create the partitions itself, it uses the MBR of the system to generate the partition table for this block.

My guess is something is wrong with the DD command creating the backup MBR during the upload process.

I don’t understant the osid variable, if it’s multipartition and it can hold multiple os, for what is $osid?

I can’t test until monday, but, it’s supposed to exist a [FONT=Consolas]/tmp/status.fog where I can check errors?[/FONT]

[Tom Elliott]

/tmp/status.fog is the location for the progress information on the client side. fog.statusreporter looks at the data in the file, sends it to the fogserver then clears it out for the next iteration.

The osid, I think, is more for specialized cases. If its a pure linux system it needs to create the parts in the right places before upload can begin, hence the OSID in place for 50. Otherwise, it doesn’t appear to care.

Had to make tweak to blkid in fog script. Should work more fluidly with this method.

From the commit comments: “Make (hopefully) final tweak in partclone stuffs on fog script. Not done updating fog script, just hopefully done with partclone tweaks.”

I hope you know that just means I’m done, at least for now, with partclone methods. I will continue editing the fog script, and I hope to use partclone for dd (raw) imaging types in the future.[/quote]

i tryed to do a upload of a pc with:
sda1 ntfs
sda2 ext4
sda3 swap

the first partition works, and also the swap.

the ext4 partition don’t work, i think the cause is because blkid command returns ext2 ext3 ext4 and the partclone.extfs command is not called.

So i created 3 symlink in /usr/sbin on the client:

ln -s partclone.extfs partclone.ext2
ln -s partclone.extfs partclone.ext3
ln -s partclone.extfs partclone.ext4

but not works.

is possible to modify the script to make 3 different log in /var/log/partclone_[DATETIME].log ? to debug? i find only the 3th launch of partimage in the log

[Tom Elliott]

can you give me exact output of blkid for ext4 stuff?

i added ${partNum} to /tmp/status.fog, now i see what appens, and what command is launched for 2nd partclone command

if not sufficient i add also debug at zero level to partimage arguments

the error is when says calculating bitmap progress

Hey Tom,

So it looks like

Basic task > Advanced > Inventory hardware does not work properly when the computer reboots it give invilad mac address and screws up the database. I have learned my lession and now make backups of all of my databases

Also any reason why DNS won’t resolve the host names in the data base if i can ping them successfully?

[Tom Elliott]

Because DNS records needs to be attached somewhere. Your basic network generally doesn’t store the DNS Hostnames. Windows DNS Servers tend to attach the netbios name and stores it within the dns server which is why it works in command prompt. So theoretically, this would work if your DNS Server IP is the same dns ip you use on your fog server AND the main DNS (/etc/resolv.conf) on your fog server uses this dns as well.

The other caveat to that is the Windows systems need the firewall elements either off, or enabled for hostname translation.

[Tom Elliott]

@Fabritreno,

My guess is the fstype isn’t working completely correct at this point.

ext4 should be able to find bitmap, but it could also be that the partitions are in LVM format and the extra parts you’re getting errors on don’t contain the bitmap information because they’re, technically, not in containment of bitmap.

i resolved editing the partclone row, and cut the “-N -f 1” occurences (ncurses interface and refresh to 1). in this way (i don’t understand why at the moment) works

[jbsclm]

Please see attached for 2 files which resolve ( I hope ), the problems with capone.
they are
/fog/management/plugins/run.php
and
/fog/service/capone.php

[Troye Johnson]

tom,

is there a problem with how long the pc name can be?

[Tom Elliott]

Can be 15 characters long. It auto truncates to 15. It also checks that the hostname doesn’t already exist why?
