-
@Tom-Elliott
then what i have to do ?
do you want i test with windows 10 version.
However this morning i updatet to 6209 version, and now when i try to deploy, partclone “tell” me that “This is not a partclone image”.
Did you change something ?Thanks for your help

@Tom-Elliott
I made the test with windows 10 version and this is not the same error :
Image store corrupt : Unable to locate MBR(restorePartitionTableAndBootLoaders) -
@Wayne-Workman
I saw on the wiki that there is 4 partition types :
Single Partition
Multiple Partition - Single Disk
Multiple Partition - All Disks
Raw ImageOn the web frontend
Single Disk - Resizable - (1)
Multiple Partition Image - Single Disk (Not Resizable) - (2)
Multiple Partition Image - All Disks (Not Resizable) - (3)
Raw Image (Sector By Sector, DD, Slow) - (4)As you can see the first option is different.
Then may be i would choose “Multiple Partition - Single Disk”
And it’s, may be, for this reason it failed now ? -
@Tom-Elliott
Then do you think i have to restore manually my station or it will be possible from fog ? -
@plegrand Try changing the OS type to Windows 10.
-
@Tom-Elliott
As i said before, i already done that without success -
@plegrand Can you try with it set back as XP? I don’t see that being retested.

@Tom-Elliott
I made the test with windows xp type on 6209 version : partclone “tell” me that “This is not a partclone image”.
Not the same error as yesterday with other version (6194) -
@Tom-Elliott Same problem with 6211
-
@Tom-Elliott
I just made the test today with 6237 version. Same problem : partclone “tell” me that “This is not a partclone image”.
Do you think there is a solution to restore image from fog or do i have to reinstall the station ? -
@plegrand there can be a solution but I have to figure out what that solution will be.

@Tom-Elliott
for the moment i reinstalled the station and i continu my tests. I’ve got one question :I saw on the wiki that there is 4 images types :
Single Partition
Multiple Partition - Single Disk
Multiple Partition - All Disks
Raw ImageOn the web frontend
Single Disk - Resizable - (1)
Multiple Partition Image - Single Disk (Not Resizable) - (2)
Multiple Partition Image - All Disks (Not Resizable) - (3)
Raw Image (Sector By Sector, DD, Slow) - (4)As you can see the first option is different.
What is the good one
Is it single disk or single partition ?And finally, instead opening a new thread, i’ve got a last question :
all my host have a red circle with exclamation point and this error message :
“no such device or address”. What does that mean ?Thanks for your help

Hello
i just made a test today with an other station
Dell Optiplex 760 with again 3 partitions
Here is the image definition :
default: Windows 2000/XP
Single Disk - Resizable
EverythingThe capture seems to works fine and i can see in the “images” directory :
ls -al /home/images/Optiplex760780/
total 8355044
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 févr. 23 10:09 .
drwxrwxrwx 7 root root 4096 févr. 23 10:09 …
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 févr. 23 09:44 d1.fixed_size_partitions
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 249 févr. 23 09:49 d1.minimum.partitions
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 févr. 23 09:49 d1.original.fstypes

-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 249 févr. 23 09:44 d1.partitionsBut when i try to deploy this image on the same station i’ve got again this error message at the beginning :
“This is not a partclone image”Now the station is “dead” and cant boot “Error loading operating system”
It’s a real problem because we have a lot of this kind of station
-
I just added some more code and I think I finally found the problem.
-
@Tom-Elliott Hello
does that mean that with the latest version it will work ?
Do you want i try ?
Thanks for your help -
@plegrand Yes, would be great if you can upgrade to the latest version and see if it’s fixed. Please report back!

@Sebastian-Roth
i have to capture again before deploy ?Just to be clearer, here is my configuration :
On my own pxe server(dhcp and tftp) 192.168.151.247
dhcp is configured like that :next-server 192.168.151.247; filename "pxelinux.0";
then on my tftp server i’ve got pxelinux.0 into the tftp root directory
and
this configurationLABEL FOG_ETUDIANTS KERNEL fog/ipxe.krn dhcp && chain http://192.168.39.243/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=${net0/mac}
192.168.39.243 is the fog ip address
Do i have to put on my tftp server the new ipxe.krn file ? -
@plegrand you should not have to re upload the image.

@Tom-Elliott Hello
Fog 6427 / 4874here is the tests i made
- Restore the station with an old symantec ghost image
- List partitions with diskpart
DISKPART> list disk Disque ### Statut Taille Libre Dyn Gpt -------- --------- ----------- -------- --- --- Disque 0 Connecté 149 GB 0 B DISKPART> select disk 0 Le disque 0 est maintenant le disque sélectionné. DISKPART> list partition Partition ### Type Taille Décalage ------------- ---------------- ------- ----------- Partition 1 OEM 126 MB 20 KB Partition 2 Principale 49 GB 126 MB Partition 3 Principale 100 GB 49 GB
- Defragmentation of all the partition
- On fog create a image :
default: Windows 2000/XP Single Disk - Resizable Everything
- Assign the new image to the host
- On fog create a new capture task for the station as a debug task
- Launch the task
- Capture works fine
On the server fog :
d1.fixed_size_partitions d1.minimum.partitions d1.original.fstypes d1.original.swapuuids d1p1.img d1p2.img d1p3.img d1.partitions
cat d1.fixed_size_partitions 1:
cat d1.minimum.partitions label: dos label-id: 0x2bd2c32a device: /dev/sda unit: sectors /dev/sda1 : start= 40, size= 257480, type=de /dev/sda2 : start= 257520, size= 31386360, type=7, bootable /dev/sda3 : start= 102657680, size= 779520, type=7
cat d1.original.fstypes /dev/sda2 ntfs /dev/sda3 ntfs
cat d1.partitions label: dos label-id: 0x2bd2c32a device: /dev/sda unit: sectors /dev/sda1 : start= 40, size= 257480, type=de /dev/sda2 : start= 257520, size= 102400160, type=7, bootable /dev/sda3 : start= 102657680, size= 209839360, type=7
At reboot, the station stay displaying “Booting…”
Then i try to deploy the image
- Create a new deploy task for the host
During the restauration of /dev/sda1, i’ve got the following error message from partclone
Target partition size (132MB) is smaller than source 132 MB. Use option -C to disable size checking (Dangerous)
And just after
Image failed to restore and exited with exit code 0 (writeImage) Args passed /images/test/d1p1 img* /dev/sda1
Then the only solution is to redeploy the old ghost image

@plegrand have you tried after updating to the latest.
