Lsblk: /dev/sda?: not a block device
-
Tom,
I understand you very well and I said you right this is not bug , can I ask you future request? Can you do in fog menu something like quick image advanced where you script check computer compatibility if problem found not exit with error code, but give to the user option to fix problem (or try to fix problem automatically) and re-run check ? -
[SIZE=5][B][FONT=Trebuchet MS][FONT=Tahoma]lsblk: /dev/sda?: not a block device[/FONT]
[FONT=Tahoma]Error: Could not stat device mklabel -No such file or directory[/FONT][/FONT][/B][/SIZE]I get that message all the time with the current revision - images do not restore and it’s impossible to register a new host.
-
Does this only happen on specific devices?
I ask because I’ve been testing imaging since working on many different changes. I haven’t seen this pop up.
-
I got it on a Toshiba Satellite notebook: M305D-S4830, an older computer with a K8T Neo-V MSI mainboard and a VirtualBox virtual machine.
-
just tried it with a new hard drive (on the old MSI computer) and the update from a few minutes ago - same /dev/sda? error
-
please update and try again, does the error still occur?
-
This time after updating…
trying to register older MSI computer with new hard drive connected to SATA (configured as SATA and not RAID)
Error: could not stat device mklabel - No such file or directory
** An error has been detected **
Failed to initialize disk
** Computer will reboot in 1 minute **

when you say “new hard drive”, do you mean a blank one? Or just a “newer” one that has some partitions on it ?

It’s actually new and blank with no partitions or data
-
After a quick FAT32 format, the system seems to work. I formatted the blank drive and was able to register the host and deploy Windows 7 to the hard drive. It also registers the host when the drive is formatted for Linux.

Are you using 1.2.0 ??

Yes - 1.2.0 revision 3356 - using Debian 7.8.0

This post is deleted! -
Then this is probably a Tom question.
I know he’s been doing A LOT of work with how HDDs are handled lately.
-
Just ran into this too. Giving it a poke.
EDIT:
The drive had Windows 10 on it before, and it worked. After running a fast wipe through FOG, I could no longer get any tasks to work (same error as above). More fiddling inbound.
