      Hello,
      Getting the error “Error trying to restore GPT partition tables.” “Exit returned code 4” when deploying image.

      We have been using FOG for a few years and we recently updated it. We have some spare machines that were purchased maybe last year and I was able to sysprep a windows 10 image I setup from scratch. I was able to capture it using FOG. I am able to deploy this image using FOG to the spare computers. It is set to single disk resizeable which works perfect. It is a Windows 10 image.

      I am not able to deploy the image to any computers new, out of the box. We have some new computers which were sitting in the server room. I don’t recall how long we have had them. Maybe 3 months.

      Again, only with new computers it seems.

      It shows in FOG Configuration,
      You are currently running version: 1.5.9-RC2
      Latest stable version is 1.5.8.

      Running off Ubuntu on Hyper-V.

      If there is any information I can provide that may help, please let me know. I will continue to read through some Google results to see if there is anything I can try in the meantime.

      Thanks for any help you can provide.

      I forgot to mention
      New PC’s are HP ProDesk 600 G4 SFF
      Old PC’s are HP ProDesk 600 G3 SFF

          Information from image I captured.
          imagepartitions.JPG original_fstypes.JPG fixed_size_partitions.JPG

          Minimum partition - https://ibb.co/VN6WBtC

          Image Type - Resizeable
          Partition - Everything
          Compression - 6
          Image Manager - Partclone Gzip

          Confirming new PC disk size. Will let you know. I read one post and apparently his problem was with the fixed sized partitions. That had to be changed. Not sure if that is the case here.

          Thanks for any help.

            @IndustrialTech87 The new computers are 500GB but I don’t see why it would be a problem now and worked before. Isn’t that the purpose of resizing? Could it be how the image was captured and the partitions? Any possible fixes?

              @IndustrialTech87 After reading some other post with people having the same error, it seems that maybe its a partition issue, however, I am not sure. If it is, I am not sure what I should change the values to in d1.fixed_size_partitions.

              I have a screenshot of disk management once the image is deployed to one of the G3 machines.

              I am going to grab some more information.

                If I am understanding this right, it currently says 1:2 which means it wont’ resize partitions 1 and 2. That is EFI and the Microsoft reserved partition. That would be correct. Partitions 3 is the basic data partition and 4 is a required partition, I assume the extra space that was not allocated. Maybe it isn’t a partition issue…maybe its a FOG version/kernel issue…who knows. Driving me nuts!

                  I am working to go into debug mode but wanted to mention that in the error when trying to deploy to these G4 desktops, it says
                  “Args passed: /dev/nvme0n1 1 /images/images/ 9 all
                  cmd tried: sgdisk -g1 /images/images/d1.mbr /dev/nvme0n1
                  Exit returned code 4”

                    @IndustrialTech87 Please post the contents of the text files d1.partitions as well as d1.minimum.partitions here. Best if you copy&paste instead of sending a screenshot as I can copy values for calculations easier then instead of typing.

                    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)

                        @IndustrialTech87 said in Error trying to restore GPT partition tables. Exit returned code 4 (On new PC's):

                        You have a Windows Recovery Partition at the end of your disk (fourth partition)! That prevents FOG from shrinking down to a size smaller than ( 1952490496 (start of 4th partition) + 1034240 (size of 4th partition) ) * 512 (byte sector size) = 931.51 GB …

                        Do you actually need a recovery partition of you do imaging with FOG?? If you can, delete the 4th partition and resize will work as expected.

                              @IndustrialTech87 Sorry for bombing you. I was discussing removing that partition or setting it so it resizes. I am going to deploy to a spare pc, delete the partition in disk management and recapture the image. Or use Gpart maybe. Thanks for the help.

                                @Sebastian-Roth Removing the 4th partition did resolve the issue. Thank you for your help. Great work with FOG.
