Cannot deploy (download) image in 1.2.0
-
@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?
-
- the windows 100mb boot partition
- C drive
- D drive (required for this purpose)
- extended for 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…
