Capture task not completing after finishing and then loops
-
@Wayne-Workman For some reason I thought it was a copy and delete function that’s why you need 2x free space. But in the OPs case I think something else is going on. I know on one of the early trunk builds FOG was capturing my reference image and then rebooted instead of shut down, but in the OPs case it doesn’t appear that the task was marked complete so on the next reboot it continues to try to capture the image.

@Wayne-Workman “#!nj” is being reported. There are currently no active tasks, if that makes a difference with this test.
Here is the output of the command:0_1449550371121_fogout.txt (I had to upload it, it was being marked as spam)
-
@george1421 After the computer finishes taking the capture the computer does not shutdown or reboot. It just starts to take the capture again.
It doesn’t delete the image either, just keeps adding to it. The one drive is 60 GB and the other is 1 TB.

@arainero According to the output you provided, the problem computer’s MAC is
fcaa14310ad4, and it’s not properly moving from the /dev folder to /images.that move is done via FTP at the very end of the upload.
I can see that the image is about 1,010 GB roughly.
I think something is wrong with your FTP credentials. Those are the username and password set in your storage node here: Storage Management -> [node name] -> User and Pass
Use those credentials to FTP into the server from a remote computer. Make sure you can see what’s inside of /images and /images/dev during the FTP session. You should see a folder called
/images/dev/fcaa14310ad4. Try to upload a file to the /images folder, see if that works. https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Troubleshoot_FTP#Testing_FTPWhat filesystem are you using?
-
and, you could just manually move the folder for temporary. We still need to get this fixed though.
mv /images/dev/fcaa14310ad4 /images/ExactImageNameGoesHerePlease still try to figure out why the move via FTP is not working.

@Wayne-Workman I am taking another image now since the drive was filled up by the previous one. I will update again when I attempt this. As of right now I can FTP to those folders from a different computer.

@Wayne-Workman Here is a video of the ending of the capture process. As you can see, it finishes and starts right back up. We turned the computer off when it got to the calculating bitmap screen.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdoXnM_DHrw&feature=youtu.be&t=1m2sI then made a folder in /images 1282015 (the of the name of the image) and moved the files from /images/dev/fcaa14310b5b/ to /images/1282015. I am now multicasting this to another computer to see if it works.
However, that won’t fix the root problem as you said.
I did notice that the files created in /images/dev/fcaa14310b5b/ were created as user root with rw-r–r-- permissions. I was able to move the files from /images/dev/fcaa14310b5b/ to /images via ftp. I was unable to move the files from /images to /images/1282015 via ftp. I had to use mv to move them.
It may be because I made the fold 1282015 as root and it is owned by root:root.

It was short lived. After about 10 minutes this was displayed http://i.imgur.com/WnSPX10.jpg

@arainero I watched the video.
I don’t know what a “Earth Shaker” is, you can tell your co-worker.
Why are you using a RAW image type? That’s why your images are so big.
Please tell us more about the system you’re capturing from. Is it Windows? Is it Linux? What OS?
RAW image types should always be the VERY LAST choice!
-
@Wayne-Workman Earthshaker is from a video game lol.
Where do you set what the image type is? I don’t believe I have ever seen a RAW option.
I am capturing Windows 7 machines with two hard drives.

It’s right there in your video, it says “File system: RAW”
For a example of a non-raw, see this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZXBCdULUbk
Of course, that is a troubleshooting video I uploaded for another issue - but it does show “File system: ntfs” in the video as an example.Can you give a screenshot of your image’s settings?
Here’s what I’d choose for a machine with multiple disks:
-
@Wayne-Workman I believe that youtube link is the one I supplied.
Here is a picture of the image settings screen. I used to use the default setting of 6 for compression, but now I have been experimenting when this problem started happening.

fixed.
Is the 1TB drive encrypted at a hardware level? bitlocker?
-
@Wayne-Workman There is no encryption happening.
-
Is this supposed to be multipartition all disk or are you only trying to do a single disk?
-
@Tom-Elliott This is a Windows 7 image. There are two disks, the first one has the Win7 OS and the second one is the 1TB storage disk. So multipartition, all disk.
I have used these options before and never had a problem with a capture. This problem has only come to surface after my multicasting problem was fixed, from https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/6129/multicasting-stuck-on-starting-to-restore-image
In regards to my previous thread, I did change password for the FTP, FOG user, and FOG config to trouble shoot that problem before. I did change them back though. I am not sure if that would be related to this new problem or not as I can FTP in just fine.
-
@Tom-Elliott Do you think I should try updating to the latest trunk version or hold off on that for the time being?
-
I say hold off, updating won’t hurt or help anything (I don’t think).
-
@Tom-Elliott Is there anything that I should test or attempt to narrow down what may be causing this?
