FOS not mounting drive for post download scripts.

rodluz

Hello, I am having an issue when deploying one of my images. After Partclone is done, my post download scripts start, however it seems that the $part variable is not set correctly so the /ntfs directory only has Recovery and System Volume Information and is not mounting my ntfs partition.

I haven’t changed anything of the mounting part from fog.postdownload.

dots "Running post download scripts."

mkdir /ntfs &>/dev/null
ntfs-3g -o force,rw $part /ntfs

echo "Mounting Device";

if [ "$?" = 0 ]; then
        echo "Done"
        debugPause
        . ${postdownpath}getMachineModel
...
...

I’m pretty sure it’s something with the specific image I am using, since I tried a different image and I don’t have that problem. I don’t know how my new image could be affecting this, but I didn’t do anything different for the “bad” image.

I’m not sure what I should try to figure out what the issue is.
I was able to mount the /dev/sda3 partition manually using ntfs-3g -o force,rw /dev/sda3 /ntfs

I did a few more tests and realized that the $part variable is also not set on the image that is working, so probably not that. The other thing I realized, my working image has the NTFS partition on /dev/sda4 but the “bad” image has it on /dev/sda3. Not sure why the new image is different.

A bit more context, in case it could be the issue:

The “good” image is Windows 10 Version 1909
The “bad” image is Windows 10 Version 20H2

@rodluz From either a windows computer or debug mode on FOS Linux, can you show the partition layout differences between these two different OS’.

The code for the postdownload script might need to be revised as Microsoft revises the layout of the disk structure.

If in FOS Linux (FOG Debug mode) we would need this information
lsblk
fdisk -l

And just for clarity you are using this tutorial for your postinstall scripts? https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/11126/using-fog-postinstall-scripts-for-windows-driver-injection-2017-ed

@rodluz said in FOS not mounting drive for post download scripts.:

The “good” image is Windows 10 Version 1909
The “bad” image is Windows 10 Version 20H2

This is a known change Microsoft did. They added another partition at the end of the disk. Think it’s a recovery partition they added but I am not sure from the top of my head.

@george1421 @Sebastian-Roth So I modified my postdownload scripts to manually mount the correct drive if the code that was originally there didn’t do it. It is working for me so I am adding my post download scripts below in case anyone comes across this thread and finds it helpful for them. This works for me in my environment, but may not work for everyone.

I took inspiration from the getHardDisk() function in https://github.com/FOGProject/fos/blob/master/Buildroot/board/FOG/FOS/rootfs_overlay/usr/share/fog/lib/funcs.sh

The scripts are a bit of a mess but working
