12GB MBR

[contewit]

I’ve started using fog trunk and am testing the upload portion of the functionality right now. I have attempted to upload images from dell laptops of both windows 7 and 8.1. The 8.1 seems to have uploaded fine, however the Windows 7 image was uploaded with an MBR of over 12GB.

Images settings are as follows:
OS: Windows 7
Image type: single disk - resizable
Parition: everything
Compression: 7

If theres anything you need me to do to debug, let me know.

Thanks for any assistance you can offer.

What revision of FOG Trunk?

and can you please post the output of this:

[CODE]ls -lahR /path/to/your/images[/CODE]

on a typical installation, the path to images would be:
[CODE]ls -lahR /images[/CODE]

[contewit]

Sure thing.

Rev is latest - to validate the results, i did a clean reinstall of fog with the latest rev (Revision: 3530) and re-imaged the machine again.

$ls -lahR /images

Wow, yep 12 gig…

Can you (very quickly) just throw together a brand new Win7 build (no updates, no software, no patches, nothing, just real fast) and try to upload that and see if the MBR comes out correct or not?

[contewit]

@Wayne-Workman

Sure, i’ll do a factory restore and just send the image that way.

The factory build might be what’s causing this… if there’s 5 partitions on there (recovery, diagnostics, system reserved, whatever else), that could be it…

Can you please try installing Win7 instead?

[contewit]

@Wayne-Workman

Hmmm… I don’t have vanilla installation media on hand; these are dell machines that came pre-imaged and only with 8.1 restore media.

Let me see what I can do.

I’m pretty sure I can get this fixed. I just need to get some example output.

Can you get the contents of d1.original.partitions for me?

[Wayne Workman]

@cspence Welcome back!

[cspence]

@Wayne-Workman Thanks! It’s been a while since I have checked out the forums. I’ve been mostly playing around with FOG on git quietly.

[contewit]

@cspence

Sure; here’s the contents of that file:

label: dos
label-id: 0x552e1400
device: /dev/sda
unit: sectors

/dev/sda1 : start=          63, size=       80262, type=de
/dev/sda2 : start=       81920, size=    20430172, type=7, bootable
/dev/sda3 : start=    24686592, size=   952084480, type=7

[cspence]

Thank you! I found the bug. I’ll notify you when it is fixed.

[cspence]

Try the latest version (SVN 3540). The bug is fixed.

Thanks for reporting!

[contewit]

Confirmed fixed, MBR looks like a much more reasonable 32k now.

Thanks!
