Images not expanding
-
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
drwxrwxrwx 2 fog root 4096 Apr 21 16:18 .

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that looks like some very old and outdated information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…

Ok updated to SVN 3348 still seeing the resize issue it is still intermittent and may or may not affect the same machine twice in a row. I ran a debug task on one that failed and manually ran the resize command as you can see in the pic attached the command not so much fails as sees the partition as already ok even though its still at the deployed size.
