Hello, I am unable to capture using Single Disk - Resizable. I am able to capture using Multiple Partition Image (Not Resizable), however, I am unable to deploy these images. They fail. I am attempting to capture both Ubuntu and Windows machines. Don’t know if it is relevant but MPI (Not resizable) captures the entire disk. I am taking this project over from another employee and it appears that he was able to capture using Single Disk - Resizable (which captured only the OS partition not the entire disk). Ubuntu and Windows machines. Those images deploy with no problem. Unfortunately he is no longer here. Any ideas? My fog server is on Rocky 9.4.

@shatchett0 Glad to hear it’s working for capture now. You should be able to mount /images on a separate disk without issue, but having it all in the same place is fine too. I’m not 100% sure what that error is saying. At least not with enough detail to be helpful right off the bat. First thing that comes to mind is a sector mismatch. If your image was captured from a disk with 512e sectors and you try to deploy to a 4kn disk (or vice versa) you’ll get errors when it tries to align the partition table because the sector sizes can’t align. It’s a limitation in disk alignment at a lower hardware level. I have some notes on when I was debugging such an issue in this post https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/17112/surface-go-4-incompatible It could also be a simpler issue of the image doesn’t fit on the new disk. In most cases the resizable takes care of it, but if the image’s min size is bigger than the disk, not much can be done. But it looks like it’s an all disk or all partition image?

@JJ-Fullmer I think you’re right. It’s a matter of disk size. I have to be more conscious of the source disk size in relation to the destination disk size. I am capturing consistently now and deploying more reliably. So my problems really amounted to network issues (I had two interfaces that confused my fog server) and the other was not paying more attention to my disk sizes. Thanks for all your help and patience with this. Steve

@JJ-Fullmer I would mark this one as solved. I didn’t see a way for me to do it. Thanks, again
