      While I think this is a kernel/root filesystem issue lets start with the basics.

      What version of FOG are you using? Are you using 1.2.0 or a SVN trunk (beta) version?
      What OS is FOG running under?
      What is the target hardware you are trying to clone (make and manufacturer)

      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!

          OK just to restate what I think you said, all of your fog servers are running under ubuntu 14.04 and the version of FOG is 1.2.0 base image. You have not applied any SVN trunk (a.k.a 1.3 beta) images on top of the 1.2.0 base image.

          Now here is where I’m a bit fuzzy. Are you trying to deploy to a HP microserver or is the destination of the captured image the HP microserver? What I’m trying to dig at is of you are on the 1.2.0 base image and you have not updated the kernels since the base image was released (which is separate than applying a SVN upgrade), that kernels from 1.2.0 my not support current hardware.

            failed to enable AA (error_mask=0x1)

            Take a look here for a detailed explanation: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=907193#c5

            You can try adding libata.force=noncq as host kernel argument but that’ll probably make things slow as well. But hopefully not break it.

            PS: The first error on ‘calibration’ I see on several of my machines too. Does not do any harm I find.

            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)

              As you can see in the bug report some hard drives are blacklisted within the libata kernel source code. I thought about suggesting you should try FOG trunk as maybe newer kernel versions have several more drives on the blacklist. But comparing the kernel source code I only see one new hard disk being added as BROKEN_FPDMA_AA. See youself:
              kernel 3.15 (FOG 1.2.0 has 3.15.6): http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/ata/libata-core.c?v=3.15#L4150
              kernel 4.3 (FOG trunk): http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/ata/libata-core.c#L4143

              Take a look at the source code and see if you can find your specific hard drive. To find out which HD you have in this machine you can boot up any live linux and run hdparm -I /dev/sda. You should see model, serial and firmware information on the first few lines of the output. We might report this to the kernel developers. Or you can just try using a different hard drive in this server.

              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)

                  Hi Sebastian,

                  I’m working away, so I only had the weekend to try it. I swapped over the hard drive, and then tried the libata.force=noncq option, but unfortunatley it didn’t work.

                  Do you have any suggestions I could try, or options I could enable?

                  I’m back home at the weekend, then at home for a couple of weeks. Hopefully we can find the solution then.

                  Is there ny further information you want?

                  Thanks

                  Julian

                    What exactly didn’t work? Do you still see the same thing happening? Same messages and failing upload? Do you get an error message when things fail? What happens if you use a different hard drive??

                      Hi Sebastian,

                      I swapped the hard drive, and got the exact same error as in the video, I also left it, but at the end of the supposed imaging rocess, it failed.

                      What does the error code mean, I have the controller set to AHCI disks,

                      Thanks

                      Julian

                          Hi Julian,

                          I have to admit that I haven’t had this error on one of my systems before. So I am just reading up things trying to understand what might be going wrong in your case. So there is a lot of guess work involved and I might be wrong…

                          Have you read through the bug report yet? What exactly do you see when it fails in the end of imaging process? Error messages?

                          What sort of hard drives have you tried so far? Are those Seagate Momentus SpinPoint disks or HP VB0250EAVER (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/7/1/235)??

                          Please start a debug session for this host or boot a live linux via CD/DVD. Then run hdparm -I /dev/sda to see the model and serial number of the disk. Please let us know. By the way, do you see the same messages when booting a live linux?? dmesg | grep "failed to enable AA"

                          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)

                            I’m very very confused by this.

                            Is there a failure to actually uploading the image? Based on the video, it seems to be doing what it needs to even with all the “errors” on the screen. Of course we only see the point of the first partition calculating the bitmap and uploading the first partition, but does it not go further?

                              Thanks you all for getting back to me.

                              I’ve uploaded a slightly longer video to https://youtu.be/cg5tpB3kq9M
                              It shows the imaging start, but at the end it fails. I have to wait 12 hours for that though.

                              Tom, the image continues, as if it were imaging the server, then fails. The imaging will take 12 hours or so it says, it’s 9pm here, so I’ll post the “end” error tomorrow morning.

                              Sebastian, there is no raid in the microserver. The drive is a samsung 1TB green. If I run the image in “upload - debug” mode, can I run the commands in that mode?

                              Thanks again for your help. I’ll post the image tomorrow.

                              Yours

                                Try host -> Basic tasks -> Debug. That should get you to a shell.

                                        Hi Tom, the Machine is behaving perfectly well, I doubt there’s a memory issue, but I’ll run a check on it anyway. THanks for the suggestion.
