This is the output of the upload from the same debug session

Failed to create image upload path (prepareUploadLocation)

Download and Upload of mps are still working perfectly. It’s just resize that is having trouble.
I am going to try a normal sda vm resizable download to see if this is an nvme problem or a fog init code problem

[JJ Fullmer]

Resizable download is giving the same error on normal sda.
So there is most likely a problem with this version of FOG
Help me obiwan- @Tom-Elliott -nobi, you are my only hope

[Tom Elliott]

@Arrowhead-IT I found the problem with downloads. I’ll look at the uploads shortly.

I’m rebuilding the init’s and will upload them shortly. I’ll let you know when they’re ready.

[Tom Elliott]

@Arrowhead-IT Uploaded and ready for testing whenever you are.

[Tom Elliott]

@Arrowhead-IT I believe the upload issue you’re seeing is simply because you’re debug session is in download mode.

Why is this important? Because the directory that get’s mounted varies depending on the type of image.

Seeing as the images directory is already created and most likely mounted for the download mode, this would be an expected failure, I would think.

@Arrowhead-IT

I don’t want to hijack this thread but I believe I am having the same problem running trunk r6048.

Here’s a screenshot of the errors

[Tom Elliott]

@FlowLive Please update and test again. I’m fairly confident that this is fixed now.

The following is the full output (run from ssh) including the looping error once it tried to enter partclone

From what I can see in the listing this is not resizeable. I mean if I look at the scripts “Restoring Partition Tables (MBR)” should never happen if resizeable image type is selected.

Failed to create image upload path (prepareUploadLocation)

And now the other one. Hmm??? At this stage FOG just tries to create a folder on the mounted NFS share (which lies on your FOG server). Why would that fail?? Permissions? But then, why does MPS work? I am confused.
Edit: Might be because you tried uploading in a download debug session…?? (thanks to Tom!)

@Tom-Elliott

All good here Tom, just got r6050 and it works!

[JJ Fullmer]

@Arrowhead-IT Sorry for the delay, my btsync stopped working, still not working and then I broke my local git repo…like 30 different times because I’m dumb when I’m sleepy. Dumb like trying to reset my git repo to the master branch instead of the dev-branch and wondering why it was installing a version in the 3000’s. Fun fact, if you can’t git pull, try git fetch --all && git reset --hard origin/dev-branch But anyway back to working correctly and on 6050

Resizable download is working again, hooray!
I did try running fog.upload from the download debug session. But I then redid it in an upload debug session and the same error happened. I’m about to test upload on the updated version.

You’re not the only one. Number 1 piece of advice I give to college kids, athletes, and just every day people is don’t sacrifice your sleep.

Short story - I was going through studying for finals in college one semester, staying up late, getting up early for work. Trying to find time to code a custom price markup management piece of software for a business that wanted to further save more paper. Basically double columns of data per page, like rows 1-80 on the left, 81 through 160 on the right, then on the back of the page, and so on…

I kept screwing it up… couldn’t get the math right. And yes, there’s algebra involved with this problem. I spent days on this. Just couldn’t get it.

Then, instead of continuing to pound at it, I realized I was really really tired, and I needed to sleep. I took a nap for 3 or 4 hours. When I woke up, I solved the problem in 5 minutes.

Sleep… so important. Sleep deprivation makes you dumb. You become mentally exhausted, just as you can physically. Physically, your body will be less strong, able to go less distance, lift less weight. Mental exhaustion means your not as clear, don’t have as good memory, not as good focus or attention to detail, and not so creative and not so good at solving problems.

People brush off sleep like it’s un-necessary. These are the people that consistently unperform, or just barely make par. Really, really value your sleep!

[JJ Fullmer]

@Wayne-Workman Oh trust me I value my sleep. I just had to move my desk at the odd request of upper management (I won’t get into that…) But the new placing of my desk makes it so the lights in the room and the light from the monitor hits my eyes just right. And by just right, I mean just right for excruciating melting eye pain. And this made it more difficult to sleep and made me want to close my eyes all day. I fixed the lighting issue though. But point is, trust me I know, I don’t sacrifice sleep, I have had to have sleep studies and fun stuff like that. This situation was just forced upon me.

Thanks for the good advice though. I always enjoy a good sleep success story.

Great success, forgot to post that this worked.

All is working as of 6050

[Tom Elliott]

@Arrowhead-IT is it safe to remark as solved?

[JJ Fullmer]

@Tom-Elliott Yes, I just did. I marked it as unsolved when it broke again.
