Single Disk Multiple Partition works after a sector by sector but not before, partition problems.
-
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,The latest SVN is 2966.

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,

I use this parititon table (dual boot Win/Deb) without problem :

/dev/sda1 * 2048 206847 102400 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sda2 206848 204802047 102297600 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT

/dev/sda6 425990144 625141759 99575808 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT[/CODE] -
So it means that that problem has been solved with the last fog version !
-
Probably! We worked on issues with extended partitions in the last week(s). I hope your setup with extended partitions is working now. Please report if it does not!

Well, it s “almost” working…
The image is downloaded correctly on the clients but when I start them, I have an error “Missing MBR-Helper”.
I m able to solve it by starting the computer with an usb key with Hiren boot cd => Mini windows 7 => InstallGrub4dos.cmdFor sure you need some further explanation…
[url]http://everyday-tech.com/using-clonezilla-to-create-a-custom-image-recovery-partition/[/url]
I m using fog to deploy image to clients but each client has it s own local image locally made by Clonezilla. In that way, when a computer need to be reinstalled, i first run the local image.That command InstallGrub4dos.cmd changes the MBR (i believe) and is giving me a new boot menu. But i don’t know why it s not supported and why i get that error message.
It s not so big problem cause i can make those step (create the recovery partition) after deploying the clients but for sure i would prefer not…Any ideas ?
thx
