SVN : 2455 restore bug
-
Hi,
I have a dual boot image Windows 7/Ubuntu 14.04 with this configuration :
1 primary partition for the boot windows
1 primary for the windows installation
1 extend with these partitions- 1 partition with the /boot for grub
- 1 partition with the /
- 1 parittion with the /swap
- 1 partition for windows_data (empty)
- 1 partition for data_linux (empty)
I make the image with the 2455 svn version and restore it on another same computer modele, but ubuntu won’t boot. Grub search a disk with the original image disk uuid, that change on the other computer.
Below my d1.partitions :
[CODE]/dev/sda1 : start= 2048, size= 204800, Id= 7, bootable
/dev/sda2 : start= 206848, size=204595200, Id= 7
/dev/sda3 : start=204804094, size=771969026, Id= 5
/dev/sda4 : start= 0, size= 0, Id= 0
/dev/sda5 : start=204804096, size= 602112, Id=83
/dev/sda6 : start=205408256, size=194899968, Id=83
/dev/sda7 : start=400310272, size= 15622144, Id=82
/dev/sda8 : start=415934464, size=277053440, Id=83
/dev/sda9 : start=692989952, size=283781120, Id= 7
[/CODE]It’s a bug ?

It certainly sounds like a bug, but it should work. Maybe grub shouldn’t be trying to locate the boot volume via UUID?

I’ll modify the grub on the master. Before that update I have upload the image and restore it without problem.

I guess I’m not understanding the issue.
The only thing that changed from the d1.partitions setup is instead of making the Chunk and start sector always start at 2048, we’re pulling the start partition directly from the d1.original.partitions file.
The exact command is:
[code]cat $data | grep start | awk -F, '{print $1}' | awk -F 'start=' '{print $2}' | awk '{print $1}' | egrep -v 0$ | sort -n| head -1;[/code]The $data variable is the the d1.original.partitions file. The start get’s the line that says start, the awk only prints the first side of all the data up until the comma. The second Awk prints the data after start=. The third awk removes any extra white space. The egrep command just removes the 0 start sectors from the view. The sort -n just sorts the data from lowest to highest. The head -1 just gives us the first value. If your d1.original.partitions file has /dev/sda1 starting at sector 2048, nothing should be wrong.
I’m not saying there couldn’t be a problem, just trying to figure out what the problem is.

I’ll try to remove the image from fog server and upload it.

1 primary partition for the boot windows
1 primary for the windows installation
1 partition with the /boot for grub
1 extend with these partitions- 1 partition (empty)
Below the content of the image folder :

[/CODE]And the d1.partitions :
[CODE]/dev/sda1 : start= 2048, size= 204800, Id= 7, bootable
/dev/sda2 : start= 206848, size=204595200, Id= 7

/dev/sda9 : start=692989952, size=283781120, Id= 7[/CODE]In the image management I have these settings :
- OS : Linux - (50)
- Image Type : Multiple Partition Image - Single Disk (Not Resizable) - (2)
- Partition : Everything - (1)
Any Idea ?

I’m confused.
My guess, /dev/sda4 is your extended partition.

The extended is the /dev/sda3, when I check with the disk tools of Ubuntu (or another same installation on debian/windows) I’have not a /dev/sda4.
Below the result of fdisk -l :
[CODE]/dev/sda1 * 2048 206847 102400 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sda2 206848 204802047 102297600 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT

[/CODE] -
So it’s not working properly?

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 38272, member: 7271”]So it’s not working properly?[/quote]
The result of the fdisk -l is on the original computer.
On the new computer when I boot with the Gptarted live I have a popup error at launch : “invalid partition table on /dev/sda – wrong signature 0”.
Gparted show this partition table :
/dev/sda1 - ntfs - System Reserved - boot flag
/dev/sda2 - ntfs - Windows OS
/dev/sda3 - extend
/dev/sda5 - ext4
free space… -
Do you know what revision you were at before the update and breaking?
-
Also, does it go through and image all 9 partitions, or stop imaging on number 5?

I’ll test another tomorrow, but I think it restore all partition.
For the sda4 it’s normal that it’s not use by linux if the sda4 it’s not primary or extend.[QUOTE]Do you know what revision you were at before the update and breaking?[/QUOTE]

Before the 2455 I think I use a version older than 1 or 2 days.

Hi,
I solve my problem by using another partition table :
[CODE]/dev/sda1 – windows boot (ntfs)
/dev/sda2 – windows system (ntfs)
/dev/sda3 – linux / (ext4)
/dev/sda4 – extended (-)
/dev/sda5 – swap (-)
/dev/sda6 – DATA (ntfs)
[/CODE]Regards,
Ch3i.
