    @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 Image

    On 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
      Everything

      The 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 0 févr. 23 09:44 d1.original.swapuuids
      -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3706587 févr. 23 09:49 d1p1.img
      -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8551432512 févr. 23 10:09 d1p2.img
      -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 392584 févr. 23 10:09 d1p3.img
      -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 249 févr. 23 09:44 d1.partitions

      But 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.

            @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 configuration

              LABEL 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.

                  here is the tests i made

                  • Defragmentation of all the partition
                  • On fog create a image :

                  	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 :

                  	/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 As Tom said, could you please upgrade to the latest version. He is saying that you don’t need to re-upload. But I’d say it wouldn’t hurt anyway.

                          You don’t need to update ipxe.krn on your TFTP server if booting the client works fine. The iPXE binary is not related to the error you see AFAIK!

                              @plegrand Please boot that client you tried to write the image to in debug deploy again (schedule a normal deploy task but tick “Schedule task as a debug task” in the advanced settings box just before you hit the button “CREATE DEPLOY TASK FOR …”).

                              When you get to the shell please run sfdisk -d /dev/sda and post a picture of the output here (we need the exact numbers!!).

                                  @plegrand Did you copy&paste the numbers or typed them from the screen? I hope there is no typo in them! 😉

                                  If the figures are correct this is simple maths. The original first partition (as seen further down) starts at sector 40 and ends at 257480. Makes 257440 in total. After writing to the new disk the first partition starts at 63 (which should not be an issue) but ends at 257024. Makes a total of 256961 sectors for the first partition. Slightly smaller than the original one.

                                  I guess our re-sizing logic is still hating those recovery partitions (type=de)!

                                  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)

                                    I think I found where the issue is. Please give me some more time to see why things go wrong…

                                      @plegrand Can you please do a debug UPLOAD task on the original client you pull the image from. You don’t need to do the full upload. I just need to get some information. Run the following command when you get to the shell and post the full output here: blkid -po udev /dev/sda1

                                      You can simply delete the task in the web interface and shutdown that client after you got the information.
