    hello again 😄
    so finaly i got it to work ! and im able to start a task that should clone the whole disk with multiple partitions
    but … it only takes 1 partition out of the disk, the disk partitioned that 11.7gb are for recovery which only 8.7 in use.
    another 453gb are OS (c:)
    and the OEM 30MB Partition
    so ive set the image to be " Multiple Partition - single disk" and it only copyed 11.7GB (which is clearly the recovery partition)
    then i tryed the “Multiple Partition - all disks” same result …
    does anyone know why could it do that ?

    Running Fog 1.2.0 on Centos 6.5

      Which OS is installed on the client? If I remember right Win8 is not working with FOG 1.2.0…

      What does your partition layout look like. Do you use extended partitions? Please boot your client into debug mode (select client, then Basic Tasks in the menu on the left, then Debug) and run the following commands:

      fogpartinfo --list-parts /dev/sda
      ...
      fdisk -l /dev/sda
      ...
      

      Please post the output of those commands here in the forum.

      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)

          If this system is still running the original load from dell it most likely has a gpt partition which fog doesn’t like.

          RTFM

              @Nox245 How did you check that it is MBR and could you please the commands in debug mode as suggested further down - just to make sure that FOG is able to see your partitions…

                From my experience, a scratch installation using UEFI and setting up GPT disks, fog trunk will accept and deploy just fine.

                It’ll deploy to a dissimilar disk that had MBR on it previously, it’ll deploy to a partially “zero’d” disk, and to a disk formatted with GPT but laid out differently as well… So it’s not making any use of existing GPT structures, it really does build them correctly according to the image.

                    Well, and we are still not sure if FOG is able to see this using the tools it does when capturing an image!! Again, I kindly ask you to run a debug session to see what fogpartinfo and fdisk (not as important as fogpartinfo) is telling us.
                    I have seen unexpected und weird errors coming up that you just won’t see with other tools (especially not windows disk manager!). fogpartinfo is used within FOG upload and you won’t get around looking at what it tells you about your partitions…

                        @Nox245 the problem is your image. First the recovery partition is a dell utility, and while I believe this is fixed in trunk I cannot say for 100% as I don’t typically create my images using the default layout from the manufacturer.

                        That aside I believe you specific problem lies with the sector starting at 63. 1.2.0 was a fairly stable release but it missed the sector layout by always trying to start everything at 2048. Maybe you could upgrade to trunk and try again? I think it may work, but it is no guarantee.

                          @Nox245 can you also get the output of fogpartinfo --list-devices and fogpartinfo --list-parts /dev/sda?

                            @Tom-Elliott He already posted a picture with --list-parts. Looks good. I am pretty sure that --list-devices will be fine too then.

                                    so ive upgraded fog to trunk
                                    created the image and the host and everything
                                    started the task, it copied 2 partitions 100% but on the third partition it stoped around 58% and sudenly died
                                    and shown on the screen that : http://postimg.org/image/4bl20riq7/
                                    thats how the task progress looks like : http://postimg.org/image/4mjxwjlgf/
                                    and really … its in a midle of the last partition …

                                      Interesting. This definitely should not happen in the middle of partclone running. Did you actually see partclone closing in the middle of reading or do you guess it did because it looks like it in the web interface?

                                          so ive seen the whole process this time and it actualy gets to 100% and it has a complete image of the disk,
                                          it says its done uploading the image bot i dont really have it in the server here’s a pic: http://postimg.org/image/6xmtu1izr/
                                          @Wayne-Workman
                                          yeah it has enough space for the image, i got 67gb free space on the server and fog sees it. the whole image is about 52gb.
                                          @Uncle-Frank
                                          ive changed the passwords in /opt/fog/.fogsettings and in Web Interface -> FOG Configuration -> FOG Settings -> TFTP Server -> FOG_TFTP_FTP_USERNAME & FOG_TFTP_FTP_PASSWORD
                                          all the passwords are the same and the error still shows like its trying to use some random password… i rebooted fog before trying the imaging again.
