Latest FOG 0.33b
-
r1134 released. Fixes many service things. All seems to report properly now and supports the hosts that have multiple nics. As long as the macs are registered with the host in the fog gui, all should work properly. (Meaning wireless stuff should work as well.)
-
r1136 released.
Partclone upload tasks (multi-part) uploads the correct (hopefully) for the partition.
ext{2,3,4} = partclone.extfs -c
ntfs = partclone.extfs -c
fat{16,32} = partclone.vfat -c
anything else (for now) uses
hfp,btrfs,xfs=partclone.dd
(It’s important to note that partclone.dd does not require -c option in upload, which is why I’ve labeled them as you see above.)Should help with the Win 8 differences in partitions.
Deploy tasks are done with:
partclone.restore rather than partclone.${fstype} so we know it restores using the correct type, rather than having me guess which are which.blkid updated in the init.gz to allow displaying of the partition types/uuid/etc…
Minor changes, again, to fog.css to allow display of the kill icon’s. I must have made an accidental edit to the file, but it broke something. It’s fixed now.
I have not, yet, implemented gpt stuff, but will get on it. I don’t have anything to test with, so I’ll be guessing, using of course other people’s suggestions.

r1137 released.
Had to make tweak to blkid in fog script. Should work more fluidly with this method.
From the commit comments: “Make (hopefully) final tweak in partclone stuffs on fog script. Not done updating fog script, just hopefully done with partclone tweaks.”
I hope you know that just means I’m done, at least for now, with partclone methods. I will continue editing the fog script, and I hope to use partclone for dd (raw) imaging types in the future.

Hey Tom,
For the multiple snapin deployment could you make a way to select multiple files to deploy and not have to deploy them all also what would you need to test gpt.
-
I wouldn’t be able to have a method of deploying multiple files. Though I’d imagine (if we had a parsing method in windows) you could create a package (zip,msi,…) and use args to unzip/install/etc…
I don’t know what I’d need, I don’t have anything with gpt. There’s already a couple people looking into it as they are actually in need of it, which is useful. I hope they don’t mind helping me out in this regard.
-
I was thinking I can build you a vmware server giving you full access if that would help any?
-
With the latest revision, I am able to backup a multipartition disk, but when I try to restore, it only says “task completed” but nothing is done.
-
What kind of multipart? Single or all?
-
Single, one disk multiple partitions.
-
Is this is multi-boot system (Windows and Linux?)
-
Yes. Well, NTFS and ext partitions, as windows isn’t installed yet.
-
That’s a kink I’ve yet to figure out. It has to create the partitions before it tries to restore the partitions. I don’t know how this is completed as the scripts used for the deploy process are:
[code] elif [ “$imgType” = “mps” ]; then

My guess is something is wrong with the DD command creating the backup MBR during the upload process.

I don’t understant the osid variable, if it’s multipartition and it can hold multiple os, for what is $osid?
I can’t test until monday, but, it’s supposed to exist a [FONT=Consolas]/tmp/status.fog where I can check errors?[/FONT]
-
/tmp/status.fog is the location for the progress information on the client side. fog.statusreporter looks at the data in the file, sends it to the fogserver then clears it out for the next iteration.
The osid, I think, is more for specialized cases. If its a pure linux system it needs to create the parts in the right places before upload can begin, hence the OSID in place for 50. Otherwise, it doesn’t appear to care.

i tryed to do a upload of a pc with:
sda1 ntfs
sda2 ext4
sda3 swapthe first partition works, and also the swap.
the ext4 partition don’t work, i think the cause is because blkid command returns ext2 ext3 ext4 and the partclone.extfs command is not called.
So i created 3 symlink in /usr/sbin on the client:
ln -s partclone.extfs partclone.ext2
ln -s partclone.extfs partclone.ext3
ln -s partclone.extfs partclone.ext4but not works.
is possible to modify the script to make 3 different log in /var/log/partclone_[DATETIME].log ? to debug? i find only the 3th launch of partimage in the log
-
can you give me exact output of blkid for ext4 stuff?

i added ${partNum} to /tmp/status.fog, now i see what appens, and what command is launched for 2nd partclone commandif not sufficient i add also debug at zero level to partimage arguments

the error is when says calculating bitmap progress

Hey Tom,
So it looks like
Basic task > Advanced > Inventory hardware does not work properly when the computer reboots it give invilad mac address and screws up the database. I have learned my lession and now make backups of all of my databases
Also any reason why DNS won’t resolve the host names in the data base if i can ping them successfully?
-
Because DNS records needs to be attached somewhere. Your basic network generally doesn’t store the DNS Hostnames. Windows DNS Servers tend to attach the netbios name and stores it within the dns server which is why it works in command prompt. So theoretically, this would work if your DNS Server IP is the same dns ip you use on your fog server AND the main DNS (/etc/resolv.conf) on your fog server uses this dns as well.
The other caveat to that is the Windows systems need the firewall elements either off, or enabled for hostname translation.
