      Post the output of this please:

      cd /images/BitSecSource/;ls -lahRt;cat d1.original.partitions;cat d1.minimum.partitions

        I don’t have any .partitions files in bitsecsource;
        only files in there are:
        d1.mbr
        d1p1.img
        d1p2.img
        d1p3.img
        d1p4.img
        d1p5.img

          ok, that’s fine… the command would have told me this…

          I’d still like to know the file sizes to look for potential issues.

          ls -lhaRt /images

            Could be completely wrong but I have ran into a problem that sounds similar to yours where it just skipped the imaging process for no reason. I finally figured out that apparently even though the drives showed the same size and both should be able to handle the same image, I had to shrink the partition size just a little so it was under the max size of the hard drive. Maybe give that a try?

              I shrank partition 5 and re-imaged the machine, and now the target machine did run the restore- although partition 5 came up empty on the target machine (yet it IS formatted and has the correct label- curious!)

              As requested, here’s the paste from the console- note that bitsecsource was the image that wouldn’t deploy, and source2 is the one that worked minus partition5.

              /images/Source2:

                @netman86 Would you consider upgrading to FOG Trunk? Your issue might be resolved by this alone.

                  I can’t say I’ve got a compelling reason not to, assuming it’s a fairly pain free process and the TRUNK version is considered fairly stable.

                  This FOG machine was built just for this job (I’ve always wanted to try it out) so I don’t have too much to lose if it goes awry.

                    Since I see the d1p5 has data in the image, I’m going to upgrade to trunk and try to re-deploy to another laptop- assuming it lets me deploy an image made with 1.2.0

                      So after spending a few hours fixing everything after attempting to upgrade to trunk, I’m running trunk.

                      I tried to deploy the same image to another laptop and had the same issue I had in 1.2.0.

                      I then tried to create a NEW image from the source, and that appeared to go fine- but it overwrote my old source instead of creating a new one as I had specified (Odd issues with changing options in host management not sticking)

                      For whatever reason, the image didn’t work. It went through and did a partition copy, and wrote new files to /images/source2, but under image management that source shows up as 0.00B when it’s about 50G on disk.

                      I went and changed it to source3 again and created an upload job, which failed- I had to manually create a Source3 directory in /images/ for it to start the process, which tells me that maybe something is screwy with permissions for /images- but everything appears to be 777 so I can’t fathom what it could be.

                      Creating a new source3 image now just to see what happens…

                        New image appears to have created correctly, and shows up in image from the web UI with a size- but the restore back to another box had the same results.

                          update:

                          after the failed deployment, the size listed under image management changed to 0.00iB. Odd.

                              That’s a minor bug that is non-impacting. I have a few images that list as 0 in size on client, but they work just fine.

                              Why do you have 5 partitions?

                                1. the windows 100mb boot partition
                                2. C drive
                                3. D drive (required for this purpose)
                                4. extended for 5
                                5. backup partition with image of C for on the road re-imaging (also required…)

                                I might be able to get away with keeping the image on partition 3 as a file, but TPTB want it on its own partition.

                                  I just spoke to the guy wanting these and the requirement has changed- I also need a small (100mb) partition for the lab, so that’ll be six partitions in all.
                                  I’m testing a RAW image clone right now, I can’t think of a reason it wouldn’t work if FOG manages to initiate the copy on the destination…
