Hosts not imaging - HELP
-
@Sebastian-Roth unrecognized service(?)
-
@prestop Can you try:
service tftpd-hpa restart -
@Tom-Elliott
tftpd-hpa start/running, process 5058 -
Oooooops
-
@prestop
OK now I connect but get "unable to locate image file for Windows 7/8! (sys.img.000)
argh. -
@prestop
Something else changed as well:
the one image that had a size listed for client disk now also says “0.00iB” -
are you deploying to a larger disk, or uploading a resizable image?
-
@Junkhacker I am downloading to a 250G disk.
-
@prestop What happens if you run:
service nfs-kernel-server restartand try again? -
@Junkhacker I set the image to ‘single disk - resizable’
-

@prestop This thread is several pages long… Forgive me for not reading it all. The commands Tom just posted are the ones for Ubuntu/Debian. Also - you can find all that stuff right here: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Troubleshoot_NFS

@prestop
Something else changed as well:
the one image that had a size listed for client disk now also says “0.00iB”… you haven’t been mixing up the upload/download have you?
upload to server, download to host (this naming convention has been changed in trunk)
i’m just worried that you’ve uploaded blank images over your existing ones -
@Junkhacker Yes, that occurred to me as well…but I have been very careful not to do that.
If that happened wouldn’t the image be 0.0iB on the server though? Mine has iB on the server, but the ‘size on client’ says 0.0iB. -
@Junkhacker
If I have done that - is there a way to get those images back? Supposedly he was backing this server up but I don’t see where/how that was occurring. -
@Junkhacker Also, one last thing: there never seems to be any real exchange between client and server. It whips by and then reboots - if it doesn’t give an error message.
-
if it still has a size on server, you’re probably still good.
but if the images have been replaced with bad ones, the only way to get them back is recovering from a backup.
with fog 1.2.0 i think it was possible for fog to think that it had succeeded when it hadn’t and replace a good image with a bad one, detecting problems and dealing with them better has been greatly improved in trunk -
@Junkhacker Perhaps I should be installing Trunk then. I take it this is the link you gave me earlier to try? Especially if it’s easier to troubleshhoot.
This is getting difficult - the room is across campus and has actual bugs in it. -
since you now have a backup of the server you can recover from, i can’t see any reason not to try the dev build (commonly referred to on the forums as “trunk”)
-
@Junkhacker Great- I’ll give it a shot. Will I need accompaniment or is it fairly straightforward (bearing in mind that my chops are not the greatest)?
