Unable to Fog Image pulled from Large Size HDD to Small Size HDD

[Sebastian Roth]

@chetansays Please post the contents of /images/<img-name>/d1.partitions here in the forum. As well it would be helpful if you could post a picture and/or the exact text of the error message you see! We have worked on the resizable image scripts and you might want to upgrade to the very latest version to see if it works for you.

What’s the output of the d1.minimum.partitions and d1.fixed_size_partitions file?

[chetansays]

@Tom-Elliott d1.minimum.partitions:

label: dos

@chetansays Do you mind updating first? You may need to reupload the image too, though I’m not 100% sure.

[Tom Elliott]

@chetansays Before reuploading add to the d1.fixed_size_partitions file.

Add 1 and save the file.

Try redeploying.

[Sebastian Roth]

What Tom means by adding 1 to that file is essentially this: echo "1" > d1.fixed_size_partitions (or use your favorite editor and write “1” into that file - without the quotes!). Then try deploying to the target machine again. Not need to re-upload for this test.

As well, please run this deploy task in debug mode (just before creating the task check “Schedule task as a debug task”). To start the deploy use the command fog. The step through and you should get back to a shell after the error. Then run sfdisk -d /dev/sda and post a picture here.

@Tom-Elliott Thank You Tom… When you asked for that file information I cross checked with old version Fog file and I saw that “1” was missing and I edited the file. After which it worked like a magic. I just saw your post and you were spot on. Thank you once again.

@Sebastian-Roth Thank You Sebastian. Really appreciate all developers effort here. FOG is wonderful tool. I simply love it. You guys are extremely responsive as well.
