      Re: Target partition size is smaller than source

      This topic never really came to a conclusion, and now I am having the same problem. When it loads partclone, it gives me a message that the target partition is smaller than the source.

      I am using FOG trunk 6152 on Ubuntu 14.04 lts. I have used this image before and haven’t had a problem but we just bought a new laptop, and it fails to deploy.

      Some extra information on the image: I deleted the dell backup partition, so it only has the windows required backup partition and the main partition (which Single Disk - Resizable has always worked with).

        Can you open the d1.fixed_size_partitions file?

        What partition is this having an issue with?

          I can open the file (apparently empty).

          This is what I was able to catch before the partclone screen:

          bzImage… ok
          init.xz… ok
          EXT4-fs (ram0): couldn’t mount as ext3 due to feature incompatibilities
          Starting logging: OK
          Populating /dev using udev: udevd[2370]: error creating epoll fd: Function not implemented
          done
          Initializing random number generator… done.
          Starting eth0 interface

              Yeah, and my other most recent image has an empty one as well.

                There should be a lot more messages scrolling down the screen before you see partclone doing its work. Could you take a picture in case you see any errors (Failed) on the screen.

                Would you mind uploading d1.mbr of that image and I will see if I can find an issue there. By the way - is this image still working when you deploy to a different machine??

                  I’ll give it a shot. Those messages go by so quick, it is hard to catch.

                  I don’t have any extra computers to test deploying it to right now, so I don’t know if it still works with others.

                          @TTHax Thanks for the pictures. The MBR file shows a ‘Dell Utility’ partition (plus a hidden windows part). See here:

                          Where Tom says:

                          First the recovery partition is a dell utility, and while I believe this is fixed in trunk I cannot say for 100% as I don’t typically create my images using the default layout from the manufacturer.

                          Do we still have an issue with those Dell partitions in trunk??

                            I guess so since I am using Trunk 6152. I honestly thought I had created a new image without the Dell partition. Thanks for noticing that for me. I will just create a new image with only the main partition and the system reserved. Maybe I was in a hurry when I did that one? I normally use a vanilla 7 image as a base for all of mine. Thanks again!

                              @TThax I am marking this solved as I guess you have got a new image ready by now. As well Tom and I have worked on getting those dell recovery partitions right as well. Upgrade to the latest version and test if you like.
