please post a screenshot of the image profile page of the image you’re trying to restore

@Junkhacker
Sorry wrong one: but I will have to use both at some point. one for each domain/user

[Junkhacker]

ok, rereading this thread i realized what the problem could be, and the images you just uploaded almost certainly confirm it. you’re trying to deploy a non-resizable image to too small of a disk. if you use a larger drive in the computer, or reupload the image as a resizable image, it should work fine.

[prestop]

@Junkhacker Oh man…I’ll try that right now. TFTP stopped on reboot of computer. Is the command : sudo service tftp restart? Ubuntu said it wasn’t recognized but I thought that’s what I used the last time.

My guess is you are trying to restore an image from a bigger source disk to a smaller destination disk.

About the TFTP. Ubuntu is sometimes picky with those services. Better change to a full root shell via sudo -i and then run service tftp restart (no sudo required anymore).

@Sebastian-Roth unrecognized service(?)

@prestop Can you try: service tftpd-hpa restart

[prestop]

@Tom-Elliott
tftpd-hpa start/running, process 5058

Oooooops

OK now I connect but get "unable to locate image file for Windows 7/8! (sys.img.000)
argh.

@prestop
Something else changed as well:
the one image that had a size listed for client disk now also says “0.00iB”

[Junkhacker]

are you deploying to a larger disk, or uploading a resizable image?

[prestop]

@Junkhacker I am downloading to a 250G disk.

[Tom Elliott]

@prestop What happens if you run:

service nfs-kernel-server restart and try again?

[prestop]

@Junkhacker I set the image to ‘single disk - resizable’

[prestop]

@Tom-Elliott
unrecognized service

@prestop This thread is several pages long… Forgive me for not reading it all. The commands Tom just posted are the ones for Ubuntu/Debian. Also - you can find all that stuff right here: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Troubleshoot_NFS

… you haven’t been mixing up the upload/download have you?
upload to server, download to host (this naming convention has been changed in trunk)
i’m just worried that you’ve uploaded blank images over your existing ones

[prestop]

@Junkhacker Yes, that occurred to me as well…but I have been very careful not to do that.
If that happened wouldn’t the image be 0.0iB on the server though? Mine has iB on the server, but the ‘size on client’ says 0.0iB.
