Dell Optiplex 3010 imaging to /tmp/pigz1
-
What version of FOG are you using?
Does the 3010 have a sata disk or nvme (M.2) disk?

Hi george,
We are using version 1.3.3 and it has a SATA drive.

@lawrence1997 Just so I’m clear here. You can capture images of other computers to the FOG server and it works just fine, but when you upload a 3010 it attempts to upload the file to /tmp/pigz1 on the fog server instead of /images/dev/<mac_address> ?

@lawrence1997 That’s 100% incorrect.
/tmp/pigz1 is nothing more than a FIFO (File in, File out).
All images, capture and deploy, get sent to this file. It’s nothing more than a memory buffer.

@Tom-Elliott Do you know why the image wouldn’t be getting to /images even tho on the FOG server thats where the location is set.
Kind Regards

@lawrence1997 I dont’ know what you mean.
FOG captures images to your Storage Location’s dev folder.
In a typical fog server you have a storage location structure similar to:
/images /images/.mntcheck /images/postdownloadscripts /images/dev /images/dev/.mntcheckThe main storage (mounted read only for clients being deployed to) is /images.
When uploading, a folder is created in /images/dev with the systems mac address in lowercase form without any special characters. So WHILE an image is being captured it would be uploaded into:
/images/dev/<macaddress>.When the capture is complete, FTP is called and moves the /images/dev/<macaddress> to /images/<imagepathasdefinedingui>.

This article also details that process:

@Tom-Elliott Tom do you know why all other images can upload except a Dell 3010 then

@lawrence1997 On this model, have you run through the FOG compatibility tests from the iPXE menu?
