Failed to mount '/dev/sda1': input/output eror

[Cezary]

Hello there,
I’ve been trying to reimage one of our rooms yesterday evening. I looks like the image deploy task fails after 2% and the machines restart. The error I get:

$MFTMirr does not match $MFT (record 0).

Are other machines getting their images OK?
Have you tried rebooting the server?
Do you have a storage node set up?

Unfortunately the results were the same… I have imaged these machine in the past a few times, never ever had any problems with them. Also I have tried to deploy a different image to these machines and had the same result so I don’t think the image itself has become corrupt.
As a different imaging solution I use Symantec Ghost, and I had to use it yesterday to get the machines reimaged. However I would like to stick to Fog as it’s soo much easier to use and I get better transfer speed with FOG.

I assume the results were the same?
Have you ikmaged these machines in the past with no problems?
I have had some machines that upload the image to the server no problem, but when it comes to deploying the image it fails.
In this situation I re-create an image using True Image & then use True Image to deploy it. More work, but gets over the issue.

I’ve tried deploying another image to the same machine. Also I’ve tried the same image onto another type of the machine

Are you sure that the FOG image is OK & has not become corrupt?

[Cezary]

All of the machines

Is this error on one machine or all machines?
I had an error like this & found that the HDD on the client machine had gone faulty.
