      We have been using 0.32 since it was released and have a lab with old laptops in the back closet we use to fog various drives. They all use external USB connectors that we hook a SATA drive to and them send the image. Works great. The problem is we would like to migrate to 1.2. The server works fine but if we try and use the external USB connectors with the SATA drives it always says “hard disk not found.”

      I am assuming there might be a config change I can make so the new Fog server can see external drives like 0.32 could. Any help would be appreciated.

        You’d have to build a new kernel for this support.

        The reasoning:

        I removed all USB HDD potentials, as what was happening more often than not was FOG was imaging the external drives when that was NOT the intended drive. Because of this, I removed USB HDD’s from the kernel.

        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
