@sebastian-roth Hi,
The deploy seems to work. We will continue to deploy with fog and keep you inform of our bugs thanks for your help !

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 have got this error with an existing image on the serverI 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
andd1.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
https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/15455/unable-to-restore-gpt-partition-tables-on-one-image
Since is the same laptop, same gen, same 5 partitions layout, Latest fog.
I’ll continue there then.Thank you again, for everything

@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?

I tried this solution with Windows 21H1 the image capture and deploy works without any problems from a 1 TB NVMe SSD to the 500 GB SATA SSD.d1.minimum.partitions

Can you help me ?
Thank you

@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.

@sebastian-roth it’s working thank you !!
