Single Disk Multiple Partition works after a sector by sector but not before, partition problems.

Easy…
Host Management --> List Hosts --> [Select Host] -->Basic Tasks --> Advanced --> Download-Debug
Then boot the host. i can’t remember all the commands but “fog” will continue on the way to the imaging process. You can then figure out step by step exactly where you fail. If it fails during the partition allocation it will point you to the size of the hard drive.
For example:
Not all 80gb harddrives are 80gb some are 78.1, 79.8, etc. If the “master” upload was 79.8gb and the host to download to is 78.1gb then you need to tweak your “master” upload partition sizes. -

All the laptops are exactly the same model, bought at exactly the same time with all the same spec so space should be a problem. They all have the same master image on them from a previous master image, I just modified the old master to add two new partitions and then uploaded a new master.
The error is debug mode is still the same:
- ebr signature for logical partition invalid
- read 0x000 but should be 0xAA55
- error reading logical partitions
- List may be truncated
- Done
Then it drops out of fog and reboots.

This sounds like a problem that’s been fixed in svn. Particularly where the start sector needs to be specified at 63 but is being forced to start at sector 2048.

I purchase threw a reseller and they say exacly the same thing. But some drives are different models and the “same size”.
Really check.
I was imaging this summer in a lab of 24 and 20 would image without issue but then 4 would crap out. This was my exact issue.
-
I’ve found the instructions for how to download it but would you be able to explain “svn”.
I will open a few of the laptops and check then. I would like to hope that a bulk purchase from dell themselves, everything would be identical. -
Even same model hdd may have similar issues.

Hi
i also have the same error “EBR signature for logical signature partition invalid;…”
As seen above, i ran “Host Management --> List Hosts --> [Select Host] -->Basic Tasks --> Advanced --> Download-Debug”
On the screenshot maybe you’ll see which steps cause the problem, I am a newbie with FOg… I was so glad that finally i was able to upload image on the server (i had the problem with the password and the size on the server was at 0).But here, i have no idea… You are talking about svn issue but I don’t really understand what you mean…
Have to reduce the size of the hardrive of my “Master Computer” and try to deploy it again ?thx,
R.D.

SVN refers to Subversion an update method that allows the developers to distribute incremental patches as the make fixes to the developmental build If you go this route you are essentially running the latest beta every time you run the SVN updater. Several of the issues people are reporting in 1.2 are already fixed in the latest SVN but you can also introduce some strange new ones. If you decide to go this route just be prepared to tinker a bit to get it stable enough for day to day use thankfully the developers are very responsive and helpful. Advances are fast also with a new version almost daily and each one noticeably better the the previous.

Thank you for the quick answer !
Well, I forgot to tell that I m using Ubuntu desktop 12.04, and fog 1.2.
Will it change if I m using an older version of fog of another version of Ubuntu will it work ?
I want to use Fog ! I was using CloneZilla and Drbl before but Fog is really better, offers more functionnalities !
So if changing the version of fog will not change than i ve no other change than using the SVN.
I saw that link: [url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/SVN[/url]
All the patches are included in the same file or i have to install different packages ?

Ubuntu 12.04 should work perfectly fine, in fact I recommend using it over the newest version of Ubuntu. That “package” is the only one you need. Just follow the instructions you copied and you should be good to go. Let us know if you have any issues.
-
I am using 12.04 without any issues also.
-
Thanks !
I did it on the VM and indeed it s easy to install. But i think that during the process i saw Fog 1.3 but after the installation i saw in the web interface fog 1.2. Normal ? it s just a detail anyway.
The install is completed in my test environment but I cannot yet tell you if it s working or not cause in the test, i have only VM with 1 partition and not like in production (not enough place on my laptop…).
I ll give you news tomorrow ! -
HI,
i made the update this morning on my prod server but when i download the image on another computer, i still have the same error message…
Do i need to upload a new image because of the update ?
What info should i provide you ?R.D.
-
I’d recommend upgrading to trunk and see if the issues persist still.
-
searching on the forum, i saw that i wasn’t the 1st to have the problem and maybe it was cause the partition.
I have 1 hard drive with : 1 primary, 1 extended and 1 partition.
I just change that and put convert them all into primary partition. I m making a new image and we’ll see.
I think that i already upgrade the trunk byt doing the svn update. Is it the same thing ?[SIZE=2][B]Ubuntu[/B][/SIZE]

hi,
there is a 2967 now…
So i updated Fog and it seems to work BUT i don’t know if it because i put primary partitions or because of the new version.
I think that i kept my previous image version and i ll test it cause i believe it may help other people…Regards,
