Hosts not imaging - HELP
-
@Junkhacker
can only get in with guest session -don’t know how to find users. -
@prestop did you follow the link i sent about resetting the account in single user mode?
-
@Junkhacker Yes!!! Thank you.
But now at desktop not sure how to proceed. Should never have left (weeping) -
@Junkhacker Trunk has no items in its folder.
-
@prestop you’re logged back in? have you created a new user?
-
@Junkhacker YES.
Updated fog user and created new admin account.
Started FOG and updated…looks like a version 7 - new interface, etc. Hosts and images still there.
Trying now - bugs have appeared again -I think they sense my desperation. -
@prestop well, now that you’ve changed the fog user password, you’re going to have to change the stored password everywhere fog uses that user…
-
@Junkhacker
D’oh!
Please tell me where - config? TFTP? -
@prestop web interface, storage management, DefaultMember > Management Password
also, you’ll want to update the information in the hidden file /opt/fog/.fogsettings where it stores the password for fog upgrades
off the top of my head, i can’t remember where else it will be needed
technically, also FOG_TFTP_FTP_PASSWORD in fog settings. but that shouldn’t be important unless you change the IP of the server -

HOLY CR@P …Partclone started!!! Could it be???It looks like it’s actually moving quickly…ten more minutes.
-
@prestop oh yeah, btw, the trunk version of fog is faster. depending on circumstances, it can be a LOT faster. lol
-
@Junkhacker
Well, it looked as though it mostly worked , it did /sda1, /sda2 but then it said the disk was too small to image /sda3. the machine boots to the windows recovery console - like if you had your cd in the drive to restore windows. -
@prestop did you replace the drive with a larger one, as previously suggested? your non-resizable image will need to be deployed and recaptured to become resizable. you’ll want to check the “Schedule Shutdown after task completion” checkbox when you deploy, and then schedule a capture after it finishes. if you don’t boot up the computer after imaging, it doesn’t even have to be a computer compatible with the image you’re deploying.
-
@Junkhacker
I don’t have any larger disks in this junkpile left behind. -
@prestop Ever consider building a new image?
-
@prestop i’m afraid there really aren’t any other options. if you have a lot of storage available on another computer, you could create a virtual machine to deploy it to (but that’s going to have some headaches involved too). i’m guessing the original drive was 500GB?
-
@Wayne-Workman
Yes - but there’s a lot of programs and things that I don’t know much about that appear to be in the image. I was hoping to be able to figure it out at some later date. -

I don’t have any larger disks in this junkpile left behind.Order one. They are cheap.
Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!

or even borrow one. once you just need to recapture the image, you won’t need it permanently.
