With Fog 0.32 - What is used to backup ext4 filesystems
-
-
I was reading in another thread that fog was using partimage until 0.32 so it did not support ext4 filesystem.
-
This was the first time I tried to upload an image using multi-part, multi-disk option.
-
I have the following 4 disks(used space only) - 7G, 25G, 25G,13G (so total of 70G)
-
Fog created the following:
d1.mbr
d1p1.img (921 bytes)
d2.mbr
d2p1.img (14G)
d3.mbr
d4.mbr -
I’m bit confused to why the image sizes are off…
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I’m an Idiot. I think after going through the forms now I understand . For some reason I assumed in version 0.32 Fog is able to image ext4. However it is only supported from 0.33 (which is still not out yet?)
-
There’s more to this. So I decided:
-
Forget about ext4 support, let me use the RAW disk option.
-
so the image gets created however I’m not able to mount the image using
mount -t ext4 -o loop mymyage… mymountpoint… -
However if I manually try to create a disk image using dd and try to mount the image it works fine.
-
So the assumption here is the image created by fog is compressed - except not sure what format…Any help folks?
