fixparts.

Not sure where you are headed with this, but typically you would setup a debug capture or debug deploy to this target system (don’t worry because it won’t deploy or capture immediately if you remember to check the option or debug when you schedule a task). Then pxe boot the target computer. After a minute it should drop you to a command prompt. From there you might issue the fixparts /dev/sda Which tells fixparts to look at the first hard drive for errors. Fixparts runs against disks not folders/directories

[cojohnson]

The previous image showed a listing of all directories in the /dev/ directory.

There is no sda directory!
Is there any other possible directories?

Sorry the upside down picture was a bit confusing to me.

How about running this command

lsblk
This will show the storage devices attached to this computer. You should see something like this.

NAME            MAJ:MIN RM  SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
fd0               2:0    1    4K  0 disk
sda               8:0    0   20G  0 disk
├─sda1            8:1    0  500M  0 part /boot
└─sda2            8:2    0 19.5G  0 part
  ├─centos-root 253:0    0 17.5G  0 lvm  /
  └─centos-swap 253:1    0    2G  0 lvm  [SWAP]
sr0              11:0    1    4G  0 rom

Your stream may have a memory storage device not showing up as a hard drive (/dev/sdX)

[cojohnson]

Here is the listing. How do i find the location of mmcblk0?

[george1421]

@cojohnson

For reference that is a memory storage device. That should be referenced by /dev/mmcblk0 that represents the “hard drive” of the system.

Since you are on the trunk version (but somewhat behind the current release) the FOG trunk versions understand the memory storage devices, where FOG 1.2.0 stable will not. So you should be in good shape once you get past this point.

I think that’s the issue, it’s using an SSD with eMMC memory.

Might have to call in the devs on this one perhaps.

You can try fixparts /dev/mmcblk0 though

For future reference, all devices are listed in /dev, so regardless of your devices name it will be there.

@cojohnson Simply write the changes with w

[cojohnson]

I wrote changes the booted the machine to the network to capture the image. It went through partclone successfully. Now it is failing to update the database! What should I do now?

Thanks for your help!
Much Appreciated

[Quazz]

@cojohnson Failing to update the database is generally an FTP issue, check the wiki on how to troubleshoot it.

[cojohnson]

@Quazz I can FTP into my fog server. I don’t think that is the issue. However, I rebooted the server and am trying the upload again.
