get imaged disk information for post download scripts
-
@george1421 – sorry, I’m a couple versions behind I guess; when did the shared library funcs.sh get introduced?
I don’t see anything on the forum for this library either:
-
@mrayzies said in get imaged disk information for post download scripts:
Undocumented feature…
Actually one of the developers tuned up the script I wrote when the NVMe disks came on line. The NVMe naming convention is a bit different. The funcs.sh has always been in FOS, its just hasn’t been end user reachable.

The best ones always are.

Can you confirm when that was? I’m running 1.4.4, but when I source that library on a debug installation, getHardDisk returns nothing.
-
@mrayzies What do you mean it returns nothing?
It says:
“Could not find hdd to use”? -
@mrayzies It has been in the system since the 1.2.0 trunk days. Does FOG image the computer correctly?
-
@Tom-Elliott – no output (see image)
@george1421 – machine images properly; postdownload steps fail (due to hard-coded /dev/sda2)
-
funcs.sh has been in there since at least 0.30 days, though I’m sure it’s been there since much earlier. It just hadn’t been pushed into the repository until that point.
Reference:
First case of funcs.sh showing up. -
OK, it’s my fault for skimming code — getHardDisk does not print anything to stdout but saves the output to a variable. Checking that variable shows it does properly find the NVME drive.
I think this request can be closed then as I can use this library to access things, like the imaged drive and make my postimaging scripts much more robust.
Thanks @george1421 & @Tom-Elliott

@mrayzies Well when I run a pure debug console it doesn’t return a value either. I know it works because I’m using it on my production server. Let me see what I have in my dev environment. These are the same functions FOG uses to lay the image down on the target computer so they have to work.

@mrayzies Good to hear. If you look at my very first post you can see a ref link to the current versions of the post install scripts. You might get some ideas on how to update yours.
