        @Trixsta101 While it’s not a perfect answer, I think it’s the best I can think of.

        Can you create the task you’re trying as a debug type? All you do is choose your particular task, and at the confirmation screen check the box for “Schedule as debug” and then confirm.

        Once booted, it will not try overwriting anything. Run the command fdisk -l, what do you see?

        Maybe the kernels and the init’s load your array already, but they also see you disks. If we know what device is the array name, set that as your kernel device.

        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! Get in contact with me (chat bubble in the top right corner) if you want to join in.

        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)

          There are some error just before it downloads the image… Guessing this is the Raid causing issues with partitions.

                  If this is a basic RAID 1 configuration,

                  Why not just disable it temporarily, and upload your image from a standard disk, then re-enable it and have RAID rebuild the clone?

                  Then, when you want to image, disable RAID, image, then enable RAID and have it rebuild the clone?

                    When you restore the image the disk become a non member disk… so to rebuild it asks you to select the new disk and this is the one with the image on it… if you proceed you close everything.

                    If i was to restore to 1 disk (with no raid)… when i create the raid1 it formats them both.

                      Have you tried Clonezilla ?

                        No I haven’t… Is that an addon to fog or does get require another server setup?

                          Clonezilla has no affiliation with FOG, and it does not require a server.

                          It’s a bootable disk used for imaging. I only suggest this because, hey, if it works, that’s great. You have 75 computers to image, right?

                            will give this a shot… would be good to have a backup if it works on software Raid.

                            trying to add it to the ipxe boot menu, have this but wont boot… Any idea on how to live boot it?

                            :clonezilla-live-2.3.2-22-amd64
                            kernel http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}/iso/clonezilla/vmlinuz
                            initrd http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}/iso/clonezilla/initrd.lz

                            boot || goto failed
                            goto start

                              If I can get it working, I’m going to make a very nice WiKi article on it.

                                  It’s probably a step in the right direction.

                                  Keep searching though, but you’d probably have the best luck searching in the forums here for ISO tons of people have got it going on various versions of FOG.

                                  I’ll only be addressing the next release (the one you’re using), FOG 1.3.0

                                            Ok Great…

                                            Just tried this with no luck… didn’t get as far as the the last config.

                                            kernel http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}/iso/clonezilla/vmlinuz
                                            initrd http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}/iso/clonezilla/initrd.img
                                            imgargs vmlinuz boot=live config noswap nolocales edd=on nomodeset ocs_live_run=“ocs-live-general” ocs_live_extra_param=“” ocs_live_keymap=“” ocs_live_batch=“no” ocs_daemonon=“ssh” usercrypted=Kb/VNchPYhuf6 ocs_lang=“” vga=788 nosplash noprompt

                                            boot || goto failed
                                            goto start
