      [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.

        Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!

        Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

          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.

                              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.
