Latest FOG 0.33b
-
i’m trying to debug the problem that imaging of single disk, multiple partition don’t work.
so i started a debug upload.the screen say to me to type fog to start image upload.
here images uploaded to server:
administrator@fog:/images/labciro$ ls -la
totale 6890908
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 gen 21 08:54 .
drwxrwxrwx 4 root root 4096 gen 21 08:54 …
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 512 gen 21 08:35 d1.mbr
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7056262600 gen 21 08:54 d1p1.img
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 gen 21 08:54 d1p2.img
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 gen 21 08:54 d1p3.img
administrator@fog:/images/labciro$gunzipping d1p2.img and d1p3.img the result is empty file. so seems that the image upload is not started…
partitions on pc are:
sda1 30GB ntfs winxp
sda2 15GB ext4 xubuntu
sda3 1GB linux-swapso sda2 and sda3 is not imaged (only 20byte is copied).
here the value of variables:
##########
osid=1
osname=Windows XP
mbrfile=/usr/share/fog/mbr/xp.mbr
type=up
storage=192.168.0.3:/images/dev/
img=labciro
hd=/dev/sda
part=/dev/sda1
##########i think that in these variables the info that also sda2 and sda3 is to be done is missing. do you confirm? how i can force to do image of: sda1,sda2,sda3 and not sda1 only??
where i can find the fog script on the server? in what directory is stored? (to debug)
i tryed to run fogpartinfo script and detects 3 partitions (right) so i must understand why only first 20byte is saved on server of 2nd and 3th partitions…
now i’m running fog script by hand, after that i’ll check the log on the client:
the problem with second and third partition is from :
ntfsclone-ng.c: no ntfs partition, ntfs mount error 22i think that partclone is launched with bad options…
i think that we must modify fogpartinfo script to detect list of partitions and also the partition type (fdisk -l output is enough) so we can start the differents partclone commands in right way.
here contenents of client log:

Hi, I’m not sure if you know about it (search didn’t found anything), but probably found bug in /var/www/fog/lib/fog/Host.class.php, line 850
There is a typo in [I]$MulticasetSessionAssoc->save();[/I] - should be without “e” in Multicaset, as after the change creating multicast task works - before I was getting blank screen.
Btw, can you say, how far is 0.33 from final release? (I asked you this in the other topic, but you probably missed it). Thanks
edit: I’m still using 1118, so perhaps it’s already fixed…
How is it possible to update between revisions? Just download from svn and bin/installfog.sh? Thanks -
I think Tom Elliott is busy today!
Tom, i need you! if you come in italy i can offer to you a gallon of beer!
And if fogproject needs hardware/support to work i can give help
-
i think that the error is in this part of fog script.
the function: determineOS $osid
is used to say to partclone what kind of partition we must clone.
this is not correct.
in the script:
if [ “$osid” == “50” ]; then
fstype=“extfs”
else
fstype=“ntfs”causes all partition that is not ntfs in a pc with windows system fail to image.
i have on disk:
sda1 ntfs (clones correctly)
sda2 ext4 ( is cloned as ntfs, is not correct)
sda3 linux-swap ( is cloned as ntfs, is not correct)we must modify the script to check via fdisk -l what kind of partition is really present
or more best:
sudo blkid /dev/sda1
/dev/sda1: UUID=“b842abee-3fbf-4347-a451-ec9e0b3b3aa8” TYPE=“ext2”We cannot know what kind of partition is present simply assuming by $osid, i can have a windowsxp in first partition as ntfs, ok, but in all others i can have a very differend kind of filesystem type!
so Tom, if you need help to test/develope ask me!
-
i’m now testing the dd image upload
-
Fabritreno, that’s the basis of the osid. Basically what you’re asking for is to remove that function out of fog which is unlikely to happen. If you’re trying to create image of dual boot system change the image type to raw and it will copy all partitions using dd.
-
I see what you’re saying now and will work on correcting this today after some testing of course.

in fog 0.32, uplading image in singledisk, multiplepartition mode with sda1 windowsxp sda2 linux sda3 linux-swap works.
So we must patch fog 0.33b to do this and not lose features.using dd cloning is crazy, is much simply to patch the buggly fog script.
we must simply do:
fdisk -l /dev/sda
blkid /dev/sda1
blkid /dev/sda2
blkid /dev/sda3
blkid /dev/sda4then store into variables and apply when cloning different partition number…

ok! thankyou very much! tell me if you want help/tests
if you can check also if dd command, for dd cloning contains option bs=1M to speedup read/write operations

What is blkid of the swap partition?
-
[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 21678, member: 7271”]What is blkid of the swap partition?[/quote]
sample on my server: /dev/mapper/fog–vg-swap_1: UUID=“82810d84-f19c-40ee-a3e8-fa51d6f6e84f” TYPE=“swap”
(only TYPE is to be used obviously)

Hi guys, I don’t wanna disturb you, but just small question
how to update between revisions? Just download from svn and then bin/installfog.sh? I would try it myself, but don’t wanna mess my current installation. Thanks -
If you downloaded the svn to do the install, from the trunk directory (or whatever you named it) perform:
[code]svn update[/code]Then re-run the installer:
[code]cd bin
./installfog.sh[/code] -
Morning Tom,
Question for you is there any way to import and export snapins?
-
Unfortunately, not at the moment. I haven’t the time to figure out how to zip all the snapins so you can download, reupload yet.
You can, however, save the entire database under FOG Configuration->Configuration Save, which would, at least, save the snapins created.
-
ok yea I dont think that will work because I am trying to go from one server to another in a diffrent location. Just wanted to make sure there was no easier way before I did it manually.

r1125 Released.
Should fix typo on multicast task creation.
Recodes elements of service scripts. Getting less and less ClientServiceManager.php needs.

But is multicast working? I tried to create multicast task in latest (1124) revision. Got the same blank screen as previously (see post #504), so changed [I]$MulticasetSessionAssoc->save();[/I] and blank screen was solved. But there was no multicast task in Active Multicast Tasks (only individual tasks in Active Tasks) - this happend even in 1118. And creating task took too long (few minutes)[I] - [/I]I found out, that mysql daemon is causing high load. Then I looked at [I]multicastSessions[/I] table and found circa 60000 tasks with random base ports and -1 msState. So I deleted them manually and now I’m getting another blank screen and in apache error log there is:
[I][CODE]PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 16 bytes) in /var/www/fog/lib/fog/FOGManagerController.class.php on line 124, referer: http://localhost:8081/fog/management/index.php?node=tasks&sub=listgroups[/CODE][/I]
So, perhaps I deleted too much or what. I tried to figure out what’s wrong.
Rev. 1125 didn’t help.[I][/I]
-
restart apache.
FOR REDHAT
[code]service httpd restart[/code]FOR UBUNTU
[code]sudo service apache2 restart[/code] -
if the restart was to me - it didn’t help.
but thanks
