HD info not populating in log
-
@Tom-Elliott there is no output when I run doInventory
-
@meie1kyl Now run:
echo $hdinfo
If that houses the right information, we should then know I need to look at the code (on the UI side) to see why its not breaking down correctly
I know it’s a process, I apologize.
We can then just run the
fog.inventoryshell command too. -
@Tom-Elliot I appreciate the help. No output from echo $hdinfo either

-
@meie1kyl I may be wrong but I have a feeling you are running an old version of the inits. Can you run these commands:
source /usr/share/fog/lib/funcs.sh echo $initversion -
-
@meie1kyl Indeed that is a VERY old init

-
@meie1kyl The fix for this issue was done in August 2023 and released in init version 20231208. My guess is that you haven’t updated your FOG install since 2023, or else the init should have “auto” updated.
I recommend that you update your FOG server to the latest stable version since there have been many fixes and security updates since 2023. -
@Tom-Elliott Is there a guide for updating? I was not the person that initially set up the server unfortunately.
-
We tried the following and still get the same init version after rebooting into dev mode.
- Updated and followed instructions from here: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Upgrade_to_trunk

- Attempted updating init and kernels using instructions found here (Debian instructions. Server is running Ubuntu) https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Download_Current_Init's_and_Kernels_Command_Line

- Rebooted both endpoint in dev mode and the server itself
Current version shown on the web portal:

Current init showing after all of this:

-
@meie1kyl What version of fog are you running?
When you login at the bottom right corner you should see the actually installed version of FOG.
What version is that?
I suspect you’re using a version that is explicitely tied to 20230305.
-
@Tom-Elliott Version 1.5.10


-
@meie1kyl on your fog server, please login, either as root or a user who can sudo to root:
Become root user:
Then run these commands for consistency (you can change location but will need to remember to make that adjustment every time for updates.)
cd /opt git clone https://github.com/fogproject/fogproject.git latest_fogproject # These commands after for updates cd /opt/latest_fogproject git checkout dev-branch git pull cd bin ./installfog.sh -yOf course make sure you have a backup but this should get you where you need to be.

@Tom-Elliott Thank you, Tom. The init version is now 2025xxx. I’ll test soon to confirm the SSD info is showing in logs.
