Capturing Image Disk not shrinking, Image size is 0 on server

[reggiep9000]

Hi Guys,
I’m having an issue where during capture I see the error;
‘not shrinking disk, detected as fixed’
the capture continues and completes however the image size in /images is 0

I’ve gone through all credentials and ensured they all match as per wiki.
Any ideas where i may be going wrong ?
Thanks!

@reggiep9000 Which version of FOG do you use? We might have an issue similar to what you described with the latest dev-branch.

@sebastian-roth Thanks that’s worked! are there some ftp logs i can look at to see if theres an ongoing issue ?

[Sebastian Roth]

@reggiep9000 Ok there is your captured image. Not sure why it wasn’t moved over (some FTP issue?!). You can manually move it:

rm /images/MISC-UBUNTUV3.81
mv /images/dev/3cecef602ade /images/MISC-UBUNTUV3.81

Hi Sebastian,
See bellow,

@sebastian-roth said in Capturing Image Disk not shrinking, Image size is 0 on server:

ls -al /images/dev

total 12
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Apr 25 20:40 .
drwxrwxrwx 7 root root 4096 Apr 25 20:43 ..

@reggiep9000 The latest MISC-UBUNTUV3.8 and MISC-UBUNTUV3.81 are not even directories as they should be - compare with the others.

Please run ls -al /images/dev and post full output here.
