Error uploading images to fog![alt text]

@Tom-Elliott said in Image upload error:

@Sebastian-Roth We found what the problem was.

Problem was the partition was not “shutdown” properly as Windows 10 allows for “fastbooting”

I found out the ntfs-3g driver can accept a cool parameter in hopes to fix this. Added this to the inits and uploaded. John has confirmed this works for Upload and the device still boots. Just waiting to hear back if a download works after all this.

Well now I’m super curious if it will solve the FastBooting issues I’ve seen and solved with other methods…

@Tom-Elliott We have success!!! deployed and booted into windows on another machine. Appreciate all the work!!!

[Tom Elliott]

@Quazz I would say, “Yeah?”.

At any rate, this should help EVERYBODY.

@Tom-Elliott I assume this bug would also affect windows 8 images since they also have the fast boot option. In my experience that option causes more problems than doing anything useful.

@John-L-Clark As well see if you can find any valuable information in /var/log/partclone.log as shown in the first picture you posted…

@John-L-Clark in the debug session, what is the output of lsblk and the output of fdisk -l

[John L Clark]

@Wayne-Workman This is what I get when I run fixparts

[Wayne Workman]

@John-L-Clark Dell Optiplex 9020 from factory is in UEFI mode. You probably need to run fixparts. There are many threads on it. basically do a debug upload, and at the shell prompt, type in fixparts /dev/sda and follow instructions.

its a 500 GB hard drive on the host machine we are uploading from with 2 partitions. Its an MBR. Latest version of FOG.

How much of the image did it upload? How many partitions are on the source disk? Do you have any free space on the fog server? What’s the output of df -h ? is this an MBR or GPT type disk your uploading from? What version of FOG? What is the model of the target host? What sort of HDD does it have?
