Deployement failed on smaller drive (message "Target partition size smaller")

[Matthieu Jacquart]

@Quazz I capture this image once again, on another config but still with SSD 128GB, and unable to deploy it on the 2 laptops, same error…

[Matthieu Jacquart]

Same problem on 3 other computers with SSD 120GB instead of 128GB, I need to fix this issue in one hour :(n

[Quazz]

@Matthieu-Jacquart Did you see it try to resize the second partition during capture? It seems like it’s not doing that for some reason.

[Matthieu Jacquart]

@Quazz No I didn’t see that, it appears on partclone screen during capture ?

[Quazz]

@Matthieu-Jacquart It should occur before and after capture, it’s just some text, but it should take some time, even on an SSD it will stay for a few seconds.

What do the partition labels look like? I know FOG ignores partitions with certain labels (to avoid resizing the partition with the boot information on)

And you’re sure the image type is resizable, yes?

[Matthieu Jacquart]

@Quazz I’m sure image type is single disk resizable, I’ve just check in fog.

Here is a capture on PC with SSD 128GB (in french, sorry ;))

I will try to look during capture if I saw text about resizing

@Matthieu-Jacquart Your issue may be related to https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/10306/windows-10-resizable-image-system-partition-issue/13

At the very least it needs to be addressed since your system reserved partition seems to be getting resized currently, which should never happen. This might potentially (but I don’t think so) cause the second partition to not get resized, but I’m not sure about that.

[Matthieu Jacquart]

@Quazz Ok I’ll take a look to this topic.
But you’re right about resizing, usually I saw “resizing /sda2” (or something like that…) during few second just before partclone capture image, but on this image I don’t see this line, it’s too quick…

[Matthieu Jacquart]

No way, I create new image but once again sda2 is not resized… It’s a big problem for me, 3 pc of direction failed with deployment and people can’t work

[Tom Elliott]

Why is the “main” partition reserved?

[Matthieu Jacquart]

@Tom-Elliott I don’t know, it’s the 500 MB parttion created by windows at installation There’s the same on my own computer.
But I think I understood what happened : it’s directly related to my previous problem with this image : https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/10313/error-capture-windows-10-creator-update-sysprep-could-not-open-inode-xxxxxx-through-the-library
I have 3 image Win10, for 2 of them after upgrade to 1703 no problem, but for the one which give me some trouble, I already have problem to capture image due to “inode” errror message precisely when resizing sda2…
But no solution fot the moment

[Matthieu Jacquart]

Ok so I restart my image from scratch with usb installation key containing creators update and no problem to capture image with sysprep, resizing works fine and I can deploy on smaller SSD
So it was certainly a bug in my previous image, thanks for your help

[Quazz]

@Matthieu-Jacquart I find that Windows 10 upgrades mess up sysprep, I’ve made it a habit to just start over every time.

[Matthieu Jacquart]

@Quazz Yes, but this time I was lucky it was my smallest image with few software ! But it will be problematic for other images with dizains of software… Can you close the topic ? Thanks

I’ve made it a habit to just start over every time.

We also find the same thing and create new every time.
FWIW: We use MDT to build the reference image, that way we have a consistent way to “start over every time”.
