ClamAV not finisihing download on Host PC

[Tom Elliott]

What version of FOG are you using?

It sounds like you’re using a version where clamav is embedded in the init.gz/xz file. This issue isn’t due to the hard disk directly. It’s most likely due to it trying to put the clamav database file on the init sections itself. The Init is capped at a specific size. Minor text edits can be done, but files over say 10mb will have issues.

Hi sir is there a way to work around on this? how do i resize the init.gz file? i am using fog 0.32 with ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Is there a way to increase the size of init.gz on fog 0.32?

This is untested and probably not supported but you can give it a try. You’ll find that file in ‘/var/www/fog/service/ipxe’ (this is in version 1.2.0, hope it hasn’t changed).
[CODE]# cd /var/www/fog/service/ipxe

gunzip init.gz

mkdir original

mount -o loop init original[/CODE]

Now you can see and change the files in init.gz. But to increase the size you’d have to create a new one. So check the size of the old one first, create a new bigger one, mount that and copy all contents:
[CODE]# df -h
…
/dev/loop0 57M 49M 4.7M 92% var/www/fog/service/ipxe/original

dd if=/dev/zero of=new.img bs=1M count=100

mkdir new

mount -o loop new.img new

df -h

…

rsync -av original/ new/[/CODE]

[B]Make sure that you have the slashes right when running ‘rsync’ or you’ll end up with a broken directory structure inside the init-file.[/B]
[CODE]# unmount original

unmount new

mv init init_original

gzip init_original

mv new.img init

gzip init[/CODE]

Try booting your clients…

Yes it has changed, but to help out the location for 0.32 is:
[CODE]# cd /tftpboot/fog/images/

gunzip init.gz

mkdir original

mount -o loop init original[/CODE]

Hi sir tom Thanks,

im having trouble mounting the new image that will replace the init.gz it always says that it needs to specify a file type please see the picture for reference i dont know what file system init.gz use

[Tom Elliott]

I think you have to first format the img file you’re working with:

[code]mkfs.ext2 new.img[/code]

Then you can mount it with:

[code]mount -o loop new.img new[/code]

run your commands to rsync the data.

Then you can unmount.

Run fsck on the new img file with:

[code]fsck.ext2 new.img[/code]

Then rename the file to make gzip easier and knowledgable:

[code]mv new.img init
gzip -9 init[/code]

Hopefully this helps.

Thanks sir Tom. i have manage to resize the init.gz files with the instructions that you have provided. will try later if i could sucessfully download the clamAV

well now i have tried it on 100mb and still having problems on 80 percent. it says failed to write again. i raised the capacity to 150 and this error shows up. even if i raised it up until 500mb i still have this same error please see the picture for references thanks!

You can maintain the same size at 150, or 500.

However, you will need to upsize the amount of ram. I forget if this is even possible on 0.32. Basically FOG Configuration->FOG Settings->General Settings->TFTP Server->FOG_KERNEL_RAMDISK_SIZE

Change it from 127000 to say 600000 (to allow the size of 500MB if you wanted it.

Thanks again sir tom, i have tried it again and it always failed around 80 percent again failed to write again. the space is @ 250mb is it still the size of the acocated space on tftp that causes this? if i cant make this work can you recommend me some newer version of fog that doesn’t need to update the ClamAV
