Resizing issue maybe?
-
Hello,
So I got my fog server up and running great. I have a few new MDCs that I wanted to put some SSDs in to replace the crappy HDDs in them. I can just do a clone with the Samsung software but figured what the heck, let’s do this with fog to test it out.
So I chose to create a Windows 7 image and make it resizable. It captured the full harddrive as planned. Now when I slap in the formatted SSD the server starts to deploy to the MDC and looks like it’s working just fine. After the first partition it seems to crap out. I know it’s a multipartition but it’s just the typical clean install of windows where windows created those partitions themselves. I never had this issue before. I seen it was an issue in previous builds and was fixed from searching the forum but did it crop it’s ugly head back up? Or am I doing something wrong?
The HDD that I’m replacing was 500GB and being replaced by a SSD that’s 250GB.
It seems to work at first. This is when it’s deploying to the MDC

@adame
have you used resizeable images successfully before?
what’s an MDC? -
Yeah. That’s all I really used was resizable. Sorry, MDC is police talk for Panasonic Toughbook, haha. I never had the issue before in the past but it’s giving me issues now. I’m thinking about trying it on a normal PC and see how it works.
-
Well, I tried looking for /var/log/partclone.log but doesn’t exist. Hmm.
-
Just an FYI, I’m on r7591 and have confirmed that resizing in Win10 with MBR type disks works fine.
-
I don’t think I can get 7591 just yet can I? I’ll try to SVN.
-
@adame Of course you can get it! Go to your trunk directory and
svn up, then re-run the installer like this:./installfog.sh -yAlso - your second picture in your OP, we need to see the error on the PartClone screen to help further! All we see now is the error after PartClone closes!
-
Oh, I think the most up to date is in GIT. I never set that up yet. I can do that and see what happens. Off to the fog wiki!
-
@adame GIT and SVN are EQUAL. Always. When the @Developers push changes, they push them to GitHub and SourceForge simultaneously.
With GIT, go to your fogproject directory and
git pull -
YOu’re dealing with a moron. I ran the SVN earlier today but didn’t bother doing the ./installfog.sh . Wow. Well since you confirmed that resizing is working with this build I’ll give it a shot once it’s done installing. Sorry guys.
-
@adame You’re not a moron, you’re just new to this technology. You’ll be onboarded in no time.
-
@adame lol, we’re all morons sometimes.
-
@Wayne-Workman Haha. I’m a linux noob so I’m relying heavily on the fog wiki.
I have it up-to-date now and rerunning the capture. Then I’ll deploy to the new SSD. If it still doesn’t work not sure what I may be doing wrong or if it’s just a toughbook issue. I’ll get back to you either way. -
If it doesn’t work…

-
@Wayne-Workman Ok sounds good. I’ll try to catch it. It happens pretty quick. Haha.
-
if it fails, run the task again as a debug task. that will make it easier to see where exactly it fails
-
Caught it. Seems like the first process went through but when it started with the second I get this.
https://gyazo.com/b59cbfae543cc106d8ef2ec1da0d0e5cMaybe resizing just isn’t going to work with this unless I have some 512GB SSDs? think there are technically 3 partitions. Maybe that’s what the mess is. I don’t think it cared about the 100meg partition that windows creates but I think these toughbooks have an image of Windows storage in another one too so if I wanted to format I don’t need a disc/usb.
I just feel like I didn’t have this problem before when I did the same process.
-
@adame Do not give up… you only JUST gave us an error we can work with! And of course we can get this working! We are here to help, and the fog community is responsive!
I’m asking @Sebastian-Roth for his opinion, he is our resident HDD expert.
-
@Wayne-Workman Oh, I don’t plan to. I’ll still be looking at things on my end to see if anything pops out at me. I’m just hoping it’s not because of that one partition that has the windows image itself on it. Haha.

How much data was on the 500GB HDD?
