12GB MBR

[Wayne Workman]

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.

[cspence]

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!
