<![CDATA["no mountpoint is specified" error during attempt to deploy]]>I have two PC’s of the same architecture. I setup one and uploaded its image to Fog.
Now on the second PC, I want to deploy that image.

The Fog deploy script begins normally, showing the image name and so forth.

Then it says:

  • Looking for hard disks… Done.
  • Task Completed
  • Changing host name … ntfs-3g: no mountpoint specified

ntfs-3g 2009.3.8 integrated FUSE 27-third generations NTFS driver

Copyright … (information about the driver… and its usage)

Then it aborts and updates the Fog database to say task done.

Fog server o/s: Ubuntu 12.04
Fog Vers: 0.32
Client O/S: Windows 7
Image type: Multiple Partition Image All Disks (not resizable)

I may have found something that fixes this.

I did a deploy-debug on both PC’s.

Then at the debug prompt:
# fdisk /dev/sda and then “w” to write it out
# fog

Both PC’s seems to be loading. Though I don’t know if this is one-time or I will need to manually do this every time I want to load these machines. Any ideas?

I might have found a clue to this, but I don’t know how to interpret it.

I tried to deploy this same image to a third PC (all three PCs are the same hardware)… this is what I noticed:

The first time, I get an error like this:

  • Checking hard disk: Error: invalid partition table on /dev/sda – wrong signature 0.

Then on subsequent attempts to deploy, I don’t see that error any more but only the error…
* Changing host name … ntfs-3g: no mountpoint specified

The image O/S is Windows 7 (64-bit).
I first tried image type: Multiple Partition Image All Disks (not resizable)

I just tried Multiple Partition Image Single Disks (not resizable). This gets:

  • Using hard disk /dev/sda
  • Restoring MBR … Done
  • Checking Hard Disk: Error: invalid partition table on /dev/sda – wrong signature 0.
    Done
  • Task Completed

The Multi Partition Single Disk gets me this error when I try to download:

  • Using hard disk /dev/sda

I am running out of ideas…

Now I am creating/trying Multiple Partition Image Single Disks (not resizable)

The same kind of errors as noted above.

Now I am trying to create a new image from the source PC as image type “Multiple Partition Single Disk (not resizable)”
and Win 7.

I did see another thread about specifying the image as Windows Vista, even thought it is Windows 7.

I tried just changing the Fog database to show the client as Vista and deploy.

When I do this, I get this error instead:

  • Looking for hard disks… Done.
  • Task Completed
  • Changing host name … umount: can’t unmount /ntfs: invalid argument

Now I am trying this: change the first PC to Vista and uploading a new image. Then I will try to deploy that as Vista on the 2nd PC.
