Images in Database
-
I am having the same problem with images not being moved ( Ubuntu 12.04 Fog 1.2.0). I have checked the passwords and they are the same in both places. It is clearly an authentication problem, but can anyone give us an idea of where and what to change.
(very frustrated. been using FOG since 2009 with very few problems until the upgrade, which only happened because the old server died and we thought what the hell, lets catch up!) -
I tried the following: Chown [COLOR=black][FONT=Consolas]-R fog:root /images (left the passwords in Storage and TFTP_FTP settings the same)[/FONT][/COLOR]
[FONT=Tahoma]
Now it seems to be working. [/FONT] -
the fog user is a linux user, you need to change the password for the user fog in linux, and it needs to match the password in the gui
-
Junkhacker, which password are you referring to that it needs to match in the gui, the one that is set for storage management and TFTP_FTP pass by default?
Also, would that be done by sudo passwd fog?
Thank you
Edit: After I sent that I went and logged in to the server using the user fog, and the password that is set for storage and TFTP_FTP and it logged me in just fine. Just to make note of it, the images are transferring to the /images folder just not registering in the webgui as there being any data there.
-
if the only problem is that the image size on server isn’t being displayed, or is being displayed improperly, then you don’t really have a problem. this is a known issue that has been fixed in the code for the next release. if you’d like to have this working, you can update to the latest trunk version, and do some beta testing for us
-
It starts up like it is going to do the download, and just downloads what looks to be the MBR, and it only take maybe a minute then says imaged successfully. When it reboots it comes up and says missing operating system. But, the ‘Lenovo’ folder is there under /images. The images I tried to capture was a Windows 7 x64, Multiple Partition Single Disk upload. I wish it was just not being displayed correctly.
Edit: I’m also noticing that the bandwidth receive graph isn’t working. hmmm
-
It’s because the system isn’t actually downloading my infloation. There is no data to see in the bandwidth graph.

Tom What do you mean?
Also if this helps anyone a couple pictures of what happens.

Alright, so I thought that it might be the partitions or something because it was prebuilt, but I went ahead and wiped it and started fresh with a new copy of windows 7 and something shows up on the server now on the web gui as image size on server, but it just seems to the be 100MB System partition. In fact, it doesn’t look like much uploaded to the server as shown in that picture.

Based on the screen shot I’m seeing,
You have only two partitions on this disk?
d1p1.img actually appears to be a GPT table.
What I’d recommend is recreate an upload task, but create it with upload - debug.
From the GUI.
Go to Host Management.
Search or list Hosts.
Search and click, or list and find and click, on the host you want to Upload the image from.
Choose basic tasks.
Click on Advanced.
Click on Upload - Debug.
Start the task.
Boot the host you’re trying to upload the image from.
When it gets to the terminal prompt, type:
[code]fixparts /dev/sda[/code]Confirm and accept the changes it’s recommending.
Once all is done, run the command
[code]fog[/code]Hopefully all will work.
-
I typed the fixparts /dev/sda, and now it is asking for MBR Command, do you know which option I need here, I assume w as it is write the MBR partition table to disk and exit. Does that sound right?
-
yes, w
-
Thank you sorry for asking os many questions, didn’t want to mess up and have to rebuild as it took several hours to rebuild.
-
Well, I ran that and did an upload, and it seems that the same thing has happened. The images moves from /images/dev to /images under the folder name, but it seems to be a much smaller amount of data than I would imagine, about 8GB. I attempted to deploy the image, but all it did was erase the MBR/GPT and then say task was finished. If I look on the Image Size on server it only shows 70MB.

Well, I tried yet another computer and have still not gotten it to Image. I’m not really sure what my next step should be. Any other ideas?
-
I’m able to get a couple of the computers Imaged, but now I am having trouble with another. It uploads and downloads just fine, but when it boots windows it freezes.
