Images not expanding
-
Have you ran any updates lately on the OS? did you update when you updated FOG?
I’m not asking you to, I’m just asking if you did or not.
-
Also, because I’ve got the day off today and have time, I’m going to update the home FOG server to the latest revision and then run a test download image.
I’ve got 1 image at home (lol) and it is set to re-sizable. We’ll see if it works or not…
-
Not recently according to webmin I have 6 updates pending.
-
The server install is less then a month old. but no os updates have been done since it was setup and the issue showed up at SVN 3293 for me.
-
I updated my FOG server & OS.
I just successfully imaged using r3315.
This was a resizable image, however it is WinXP.
It was a 5GB image, deployed in about 4 minutes and expanded to fit an 80GB drive.
I’m not sure if the mechanisms are different for Win7/8 but it does work for XP.
-
Can you check the permissions on your /images directory?
[CODE]ls -laR /images[/CODE]
They should be uniform and owned by FOG and the group FOG. OR the user root and the group root (at home, it’s root for me).
-
Mine are owned by user jhales which is a sudo user but the resize command is independent of the image deployment permissions on the server shouldn’t have any effect on the resize operation.
-
Ok fixed ownership I think will test example of new permissions below.
/images/HPCompaq8100EliteSmallFormFactor160Gig:
total 6880348

Still not resizing even after changing ownership on both the main server and the storage group.
-
r-3316 – Has a bit of a change to the [SIZE=15px][FONT=Lato][COLOR=#3d3c40]expandPartition information. Maybe try to update to latest revision???[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE]
-
SVN 3317 seems to have fixed the issue on my test machine will test further today but I think that’s got it.

Awesome! updating NOW!
-
Ok so far I have a report of one PC at a campus not resizing but the same image and model here works fine anything come to mind that might just affect the resize command the farther you get from the server?
-
Nope, my guess is it didn’t get hit with the image command after your update.
-
Removed the storage node still seeing random occurrances of not resizing for example 2 identical machines at a campus same hardware, same image, same location one resized the other did not. Looking to see if networking issues could account for this.
-
Three questions how is the resize command sent to the host and if I interrupt the debug task right where the the command is sent what command would I type exactly to send the command manually and what command would display the partion’s size after to determine if it worked correctly.

The bottom command in there is for re-sizing. I have zero ideas about the rest.

that looks like some very old and outdated information
-
The bottom command is still the command we use, but we do NOT use partimage on partclone images.
-
Well I have zero confidence in updating that article…
