      Can we get an update on this?

      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! Get in contact with me (chat bubble in the top right corner) if you want to join in.

      Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

      Please support FOG if you like it: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Support_FOG

          Sorry I didn’t see this till just now.
          I only have 2 of these and they are currently in production. I will create some downtime and test it out tomorrow if I can.

          Have you tried the FogApi powershell module? It's pretty cool IMHO

            Sorry for the delay. I sadly can’t easily upload an image, the thing would probably take an hour or 2 to upload itself and I can’t have it down for that long. So if you need it, it can be done but will require waiting until I can stay a bit late or get in before those that use it.

            Attached is the debug output…

              @Arrowhead-IT @Sebastian-Roth I just re-read my original post remembering the problem and looked at the image logs.
              I remember now why you would want to have both. I’ll see if I can just take this down for a little bit to get the debug info.

                @Arrowhead-IT What is that 500MB first partition for? It’s not marked as bootable and therefore won’t work as windows boot partition I suppose. Maybe this is playing a roll in the issue you have.

                Maybe I can gather enough information if you can give me all the stuff you have in your uploaded image directory: d1.minimum.partitions, d1.original.partitions, d1.original.fstypes and if you have d1.partitions - all copy&paste as text here in the forum. Plus upload d1.mbr binary file.

                  @Sebastian-Roth The first 500 MB partition is the system reserved partition that windows creates during install.

                  So the image I actually use in practice has this in the directory…

                  ls /images/BaseImgLegacy32/
                  d1.fixed_size_partitions  d1.original.fstypes    d1p2.img
                  d1.mbr                    d1.original.swapuuids  d1.partitions
                  d1.minimum.partitions     d1p1.img
                  

                  0_1464816757480_d1.zip

                  The image of the machine itself is still uploading

                        @Sebastian-Roth So I just went to check on it after the upload and the problem did not occur this time. And it should be noted that I have updated fog since the original problem. So it no longer occurs after upload.

                          Ok, the d1.mbr you uploaded as ZIP actually shows that sda1 is marked active. So this will be pushed back to the client when “restoring the original disk layout” after uploading the shrinked partitions. I tried to reproduce this in my test VM but was not lucky yet. When I just did a resizable image type upload with second partition marked active it all went fine. Not saying that this is not possible. Just wondering what I did wrong.

                          Please upload the new d1.mbr and d1.partitions after the upload finished as well as the requested fdisk -l /dev/sda…

                          Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

                            Since the problem didn’t recur, I should probably test download overnight or something.
                            I’ll set it to download the universal image that failed before at 1 am tonight and check it in the morning. Then I’ll just restore the image I just made of it to put it back the way it was.

                            @Sebastian-Roth I did upload the mbr and fdisk -l. I just also put the entire debug console output just in case there was something useful there too. See post 11 for the debug output and post 12 for the mbr of the image from the machine. But again, I gotta note that the problem didn’t recur this time around. I have updated fog since the original problem. 20 days ago it happened on git ver 7593, it did not happen after upload on git ver 7961

                              What about cat /images/eeeTop/d1.partitions?? In the new d1.mbr you uploaded I still see sda1 being marked as active - instead of sda2. Hmmm?!?

                                as you requested, d1.partitions says…

                                [root@arrowfogSnode images]# cat eeeTop/d1.partitions
                                label: dos
                                label-id: 0xc461246b
                                device: /dev/sda
                                unit: sectors
                                
                                /dev/sda1 : start=        2048, size=     1024000, type=7, bootable
                                /dev/sda2 : start=     1026048, size=   311552000, type=7
                                

                                On a different note, I got in before everybody that uses this in production so I could test this out. It imaged with my original universal legacy image and the problem did happen this time on a download.
                                So just to review.

                                • On git 7593 20 days ago upload and download caused disk 2 to go inactive
                                • On git 7961 upload works fine but download of the original intended image still causes the problem.

                                I just booted it into a download debug task to download the image I uploaded yesterday from the machine itself.
                                Here is the fdisk -l output when it is not working…

                                fdisk -l /dev/sda
                                Disk /dev/sda: 149.1 GiB, 160041885696 bytes, 312581808 sectors
                                Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
                                Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
                                I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
                                Disklabel type: dos
                                Disk identifier: 0x9bb2a2a8
                                
                                Device     Boot   Start       End   Sectors   Size Id Type
                                /dev/sda1  *       2048   1026047   1024000   500M  7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
                                /dev/sda2       1026048 312581631 311555584 148.6G  7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
                                

                                The d1.partitions content of this image (The original one from a vm, not the machine) in case you need it for comparison is…

                                [root@arrowfogSnode images]# cat BaseImgLegacy32/d1.partitions
                                label: dos
                                label-id: 0xc63d5d20
                                device: /dev/sda
                                unit: sectors
                                
                                /dev/sda1 : start=        2048, size=     1024000, type=7, bootable
                                /dev/sda2 : start=     1026048, size=    82857984, type=7
                                

                                Both images, eeeTop from the machine and BaseImgLegacy32 are resizable images grabbing everything.

                                It is possible that the only problem is that the disk is not active. I have not tested simply setting it to active and rebooting, I have always done the bcdboot and bootrec commands as a safety net. I will test that theory really quick to see if I really need to be recreating boot files and such.

                                Have you tried the FogApi powershell module? It's pretty cool IMHO

                                  @Arrowhead-IT said in Old computer (asus eeeTop all in one touchscreen) mbr fails to restore after imaging task:

                                  I just tested this, it is not the case. Simply making it active brings up an error says that the boot/bcd files are missing or corrupt.
                                  So I do still need to run at least bcdboot C:\Windows

                                  I am going to test download with the image that I uploaded from the computer now and see if it still happens. I figure since this image was uploaded on the newer version of fog, if any changes were made, this will let us know that it is fixed, except that it’s working on an image from a 512 sector hdd to a 512 sector hdd. So if I need to, I can also update my legacy image, which I was planning on doing today anyway, and I’ll try it again for funzies.

                                    Here is the output from the debug download task of the image from the machine taken yesterday.

                                    In the vardump, I noticed that the mbr file variable isn’t set to anything. Not sure if that’s something or not. Also, note that I did a fdisk -L before and after, but also remember that I had set partittion 2 to be active manually just before this task.

                                    After rebooting the problem happened again. So I booted into a windows usb and opened the command prompt.
                                    I confirmed that partition 2 was inactive, but I didn’t set it to active this time. I listed the volumes and saw sda1 to be C:\ and sda2 to be E:
                                    Instead of creating new bootfiles I ran bootrec /rebuildbcd This found the boot files on E:\Windows (The inactive partition) I said yes to restoring the boot options. I confirmed the boot setting with bcdedit which said that the windows bootmgr is on C:\ (sda1 system partition) and it showed windows 10 LTSB on E:\Windows as the default boot option. I checked diskpart again after that and noted that partition 2 was still showing as inactive. I rebooted and it booted like normal.

                                    Trouble is, I now need to do the same bootrec command on the computer after imaging it with the original image and see what happens. Because the E:\Windows boot files were put there by me in this image when I “fixed” it for these devices as described in the original posting. I will have to do that later though, the people need their barcode scanner computer.

                                    Oh and I don’t know if it matters or not and not sure if I already mentioned it, but these are 32bit machines that are using the 32 bit kernel and init.

                                    Hopefully though, this is enough information to do something with.

                                    Have you tried the FogApi powershell module? It's pretty cool IMHO

                                      @Arrowhead-IT Windows 10 doesn’t have a mbr file to default to. THat’s what you see in the environment variables. If the image type was of 7 you should see a default that looks to come from /usr/share/fog/lib/. This is setup as windows 10 though, which was only introduced in the “trunk” versions of FOG so those versions automatically create the mbr files.

                                      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! Get in contact with me (chat bubble in the top right corner) if you want to join in.

                                        A whole new issue.
                                        Somehow the upload from yesterday didn’t actually upload?
                                        No wait it did. Are you confused? you should be!

                                        So I had it set to upload to a storage node but it seems to have uploaded to the default node instead. I must have had it set wrong or something. So the ls of the image and mbr I sent of the eeetop image is from may 12th when uploading it broke.
                                        Here is the mbr file, image folder contents, and d1.partitions contents of the actual image from yesterday…

                                        Now to test this image…

                                        Have you tried the FogApi powershell module? It's pretty cool IMHO

                                          After this download task it booted up proper. So the image from the physical machine taken yesterday did not cause the problem on upload or download.
                                          But the image taken on May 12th on fog git ver 7593 from the machine itself caused boot fail on upload and download.

                                          @Tom-Elliott Has anything been changed that would relate to this problem since then? Should I update my universal 32bit image and give it a try? Or has nothing changed and this is a weird occurrence on my end on only these 2 devices?

                                          Thanks for all your help thus far. And again sorry for not seeing your requests when you posted them originally.

                                          Have you tried the FogApi powershell module? It's pretty cool IMHO

                                            @Arrowhead-IT Thanks heaps for all the detailed information. The full debug steps are great as well. I am sure I will be able to figure this out when I get enough time. This won’t be before the weekend I suppose. Maybe not even this weekend. But I won’t forget, promise!

                                            Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)
