Deploy problem with Optiplex 3020
-
Houston, we have an
sdb.Either you have external media connected, or this is a hybrid drive.
-
@Wayne-Workman I had a usb key to copy all the text you asked me
-
@Pascal-Gazaille also, partition type is
PowerPC… that’s strange too.Can you try to do fog’s “Normal Wipe” task on one of the disks and then try to image it?
-
@Wayne-Workman Do you know how long it’s supposed to take for the normal wipe, I started it as soon as you asked me and it’s still not finish…
-
@Pascal-Gazaille Wayne is right, the
PowerPC PReP bootpartition type seems strange. But that’s just an ID. Fog actually checks the filesystem type on the partitions. So can you please runblkid -o udev /dev/sda1 | grep FS_TYPEandblkid -o udev /dev/sda2 | grep FS_TYPEand let us know while filesystem you actually have on those partitions…PS: Hope you don’t mind me editing your post to remove the /dev/ramX entries which are not helpful here.
-
@Pascal-Gazaille it takes a while… In the mean time, please hook up another one of those and run the commands that Sebastian requested.

@Wayne-Workman Tried the normal wipe and reimagine the computer, same result

Just dit and everything is Ok, seems to be the hdd in the new ones that have the problem
ST500DM002-1SB10A - Black screen after fog
ST500DM002-1BD142 - Works fineRe-reading this thread I stumbled upon this. Maybe it’s the disk size? 500GB on one disk is not always the same as 500GB for another. Please compare the output of
fdisk -l /dev/sdafor the two different disks. Pay attention to the byte and sector counts:Disk /dev/sda: 465.8 GiB, 500107862016 bytes, 976773168 sectorsDo those match exactly?
The other things I thought about is the different ATA modes in BIOS. Make sure you have the same settings (was it called AHCI… I am not exactly sure right now) in the old and new PCs.
-
@Sebastian-Roth both of the disk have the same information except for the disk identifier.
In the bios we keep the disk settings to AHCIHere is the new disk :
Here is the old one :
-
Have you tried non-resizable image type as you seem to have target and destination disk with the same size!?! Resizable and non-resizable images take about the same amount of disk space on the server so I don’t see any need to use resizable in your case - possibly I am wrong as I don’t know your whole setup.
-
@Pascal-Gazaille Can you take the bad drive out and just take pictures of all the labels on it? The pictures need to be close-up enough and focused enough for us to read everything on the label (without any big glares from flash or lighting, also).
It’ll allow us to do additional thinking/searching and see if we can find something.
-
@Sebastian-Roth Can I change the image type without reuploading the image?
All my images are single disk -resizable. -
@Pascal-Gazaille No. After changing the image type you have to re-upload. Sorry.

@Pascal-Gazaille @Sebastian-Roth
It’s got a firmware version,
CC43! I Wonder if it can be updated?!? -
@Wayne-Workman I’ve searched everywhere but did not find any firmware update or downgrade…
-
@Pascal-Gazaille Lets wait and see what Sebastian says. He’s a pro with HDDs.
-
@Wayne-Workman Tried imaging the hdd with a multiple partition image - all disk (not resizable) we use for our laptops and it’s working…
-
@Pascal-Gazaille huh… well, then this is a fog issue for sure! Notifying @Tom-Elliott and @Sebastian-Roth
Also to be sure, please re-upload the image you want as non-resizable and try it!
