      Hi all,

      We are using Fog 0.32 to image a disparate fleet of Win7 machines. We have been using it for a few years with much success, but I have hit a little snag with a newer project I have been working on.

      I have created a “Hardware Agnostic” image for use on our desktops. In order to make it work with the oldest equipment, I built a 35GB image on a machine with an 80GB HD. Many of the newer machines have 500GB drives, so I loaded one with the 80GB image[SIZE=2] then expanded it using the Minitool Parition Wizard. According to Windows the drive is now 500GB and has only 35GB used, but when I upload the image, I get an image size of around 200GB. It’s [/SIZE]usable[SIZE=2] and the drive is shown as the correct size (500GB), but the imaging time is obviously quite lengthy. [/SIZE]

      [SIZE=2]I didn’t see anything related while browsing the forum, so I was wondering if anyone else has experienced anything like this and if a resolution was achieved. [/SIZE]

      [SIZE=2]Cheers,[/SIZE]

        If the image is Hardware Agnostic, the resizing should occur automatically. You shouldn’t have to resize the partitions after the image is downloaded to the client.

        Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG! Get in contact with me (chat bubble in the top right corner) if you want to join in.

        Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

        Please support FOG if you like it: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Support_FOG

            Might want to check partions with gparted (boot disc) and check to see if you have any extra partions left from resizing. I would also do a checkdisk if not already done.
