Deploying Image to SSD

[SlimJim]

Is there anything special I need to do in order to deploy an image to an ssd? I just swapped a drive on a laptop I was using to test deploying and everything was working great, but after swapping the drives the image will not deploy to SSD.

It fails after about 3 seconds after of syncing.

Any help will be very much appreciated!!!

Thanks,

James

I believe you need to first make sure, in 1.2.0, that there’s a partition table laid out on the SSD.

fogpartinfo --list-parts /dev/sda shows the correct partitions and the device does have a label msdos. It copies /dev/sda1 correctly and starts copying /dev/sda2 and fails after 3 seconds and I don’t see an error or anything, just restarts.

Make sure your storage node isn’t full?

Just a stab in the dark…

[Junkhacker]

is your image resizable or single disk (not resizable)?

[SlimJim]

@Junkhacker

Resizable

Tom suggested I update and recapture the image, so I did and I’m still having issues. The same image will install on the laptop with standard HDD and now I’m getting a weird error. See attached screenshot

Oh I forgot to mention, storage node is good.

Check for firmware updates for the SSD?

I had one made by Crucial and that thing was so jacked… a firmware updated fixed it though.

Ahhhhhhhh, ok so I feel kind of stupid, but I completely forgot someone just upgraded the ram on it before giving to me to test. After I put the original memory back in, all was well!!!

That’s incredibly strange… but ok.

Is this solved then?

@Tom-Elliott

I will let you know shortly.

Some SSD can be used as RAM. That function is available via a driver. I tested it under linux.
I suppose that if the image is uploaded with a certain quantity of memory, you have to restore it with the same quantity…

Just a thought.

That might explain quite a lot of problems that people have been having with SSDs.

Yup, it’s solved.
