      The capture worked, i capture from 240Gb SSD. I want to deploy it on 120Gb SSD do you want me to try it ?

      Thanks for posting the video. Definitely helpful to debug this. As far as I can tell from the video it was able to move sda4 forward. So I would expect d1.minimum.partitions to look different this time and it should deploy to a smaller size disk. So give it a try.

      If deploy fails then post the contents of d1.minimum.partitions here again.

          Hello Sebastian,
          Tried with your proposed modifications on a 1.5.9.63 testing server.
          I have got this error with an existing image on the server

          Remove the image files on the server, it worked.

            I don’t understand what you mean with this. In the picture we see a capture what is most probably failing due to an unclean NTFS filesystem (hard to read the text at the top of the picture but looks like it). I would not expect the init-201114.xz to cause this problem.

            Remove the image files on the server, it worked.

              Yes Youare right.
              I focused on the "corrupted size vs. and did not see previous message.
              A scan disk on the master and it works.

              Thanks.

                Hi,

                Sorry if i’m missing something but I’m experiencing the very one problem of having partitions at the end of the disk that make the image too big for smaller disk and i’m willing to try the beta init-201114 but I’m not entirely sure where can I get it.

                I upgraded to the latest dev-branch and tried to capture and check d1.s hoping that the latest init downloaded by the installer where the working ones but aparently they aren’t or I’m doing something wrong.
                In case they are updated in my instalation, Is it completely necessary to create a new image or can I capture and deploy again on a existing one??

                Thank you in advance and sorry to revive this old thread.

                  I removed the download link for init-201114 as the latest dev-branch inits actually have this feature included. Don’t think you’ve done something wrong here. Might just be a slightly different issue you are facing. Not sure though, need more information. I think it’s best if you open a new topic and post the contents of your d1.minimum.partitions and d1.partitions text files that you find in the images directory.

                  In case they are updated in my instalation, Is it completely necessary to create a new image or can I capture and deploy again on a existing one??

                  There is no need to create a new image definition in the web UI. That was just meant for the early days when people test this new feature in case there was a problem so they still had their old image at hand. BUT you need to re-capture the image because most of the magic happens on capture!

                    @sebastian-roth ok thank you, that explains everything.

                    Most probably i’m experiencing the same problem of this topic

                    Since is the same laptop, same gen, same 5 partitions layout, Latest fog.
                    I’ll continue there then.

                      @sebastian-roth Just a quick question, is there a place where I can get this init without moving to the dev branch? I am very compelled to stay on the stable branch at this time. Are the inits on fogproject.org this version, or the old stable ones?

                      Like open source community computing? Why not do it for a good cause?

                        Yes, you can manually download those: 64 bit and 32 bit

                            Hi,
                            i have a bug when i tried to deploy. i don’t know if it’s link to the previous bug.
                            Here the vidéo with the error.

                              @btoffolon You are pretty lucky as I am sure I have fixed that issue already in the latest test init. Please download from github, put that in /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/, rename the original init.xz, put the new file in place.

                              Then you need to re-capture the image. Deploy should work then.

                              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)
