Hosts not imaging - HELP

[Sebastian Roth]

@prestop Ok, the image files are looking pretty ok but your partition table is kind of screwed, error Can't have a partition outside the disk. My guess is you are trying to restore an image from a bigger source disk to a smaller destination disk.

What size is the destination disk? Please upload the (very small) d1.mbr file here in the forum and I can tell you what size the original source disk was.

@Sebastian-Roth good catch

@Sebastian-Roth said in Hosts not imaging - HELP:

Where is the file located.I tried a search but no hits.

Also, these machines were previously imaged with this program - they were in the host list, so I guess it worked at least once.

[Sebastian Roth]

@prestop Should be in /images/MMHOptiplex7020/d1.mbr on your FOG server…

[prestop]

@Junkhacker Fog backed up - shall I upgrade to your newer build now?

[Junkhacker]

@prestop actually, based on the fact that you’ve imaged these computers before and the error that @Sebastian-Roth pointed out, i’d say there’s a problem with your image, not your server. please provide the information he requested to troubleshoot from here.

[prestop]

@Sebastian-Roth I don’t seem to be able to get it out - it just pastes the link.

[Junkhacker]

please post a screenshot of the image profile page of the image you’re trying to restore

@Junkhacker
Sorry wrong one: but I will have to use both at some point. one for each domain/user

[Junkhacker]

ok, rereading this thread i realized what the problem could be, and the images you just uploaded almost certainly confirm it. you’re trying to deploy a non-resizable image to too small of a disk. if you use a larger drive in the computer, or reupload the image as a resizable image, it should work fine.

[prestop]

@Junkhacker Oh man…I’ll try that right now. TFTP stopped on reboot of computer. Is the command : sudo service tftp restart? Ubuntu said it wasn’t recognized but I thought that’s what I used the last time.

About the TFTP. Ubuntu is sometimes picky with those services. Better change to a full root shell via sudo -i and then run service tftp restart (no sudo required anymore).

[prestop]

@Sebastian-Roth unrecognized service(?)

[Tom Elliott]

@prestop Can you try: service tftpd-hpa restart

[prestop]

@Tom-Elliott
tftpd-hpa start/running, process 5058

[Sebastian Roth]

Oooooops

@prestop
OK now I connect but get "unable to locate image file for Windows 7/8! (sys.img.000)
argh.

[prestop]

@prestop
Something else changed as well:
the one image that had a size listed for client disk now also says “0.00iB”

[Junkhacker]

are you deploying to a larger disk, or uploading a resizable image?
