FOG 1.3.5 RC 11

[david77]

@Tom-Elliott I am. I took the screenshots on RC10 at work. The same error occured on RC11 too, which i a tested at home.

[fogschut]

Just to exclude that the problem isn’t on my drive I’ve tried imaging with "Multiple Partition Image - Single Disk (Not Resizable) and the second partition (the normal drive) is properly recognized as NTFS.

I assume something is going wrong with the resize-process, resulting in Partclone not recognizing the 2nd partition properly. As a result it does not recognize the filesystem (should be NTFS, but is set to “raw”) and also does not recognize the size properly (my partition could be resized to roughly 20 Gb, after resize it is a 1.2 Gb. raw)

[Tom Elliott]

Have you, by chance, updated this morning?

Would you mind giving it a shot?

I added in a few last minute changes late last night as I found some other mathing errors.

I can tell you all, i’m not trying to draw this issue out any longer than necessary, I’m trying to perfect the resize process in whole. Why I can’t replicate as simply as some of you guys seem to be able to is beyond me.

Maybe somebody here has some formula’s to share about disk geometry, overlap protection, and overall minimizing->expanding assistance that might prove useful here?

SERVER

FOG Version: 1.3.5-RC-11
OS: Debian 8.7

CLIENT
OS: Windows 10

I am experiencing the same trouble while capturing my image

[Tom Elliott]

@URfog When did you update last?

[fogschut]

root@fog-vm:~/fogproject# git pull
Already up-to-date.

I updated about an hour (or two) ago and I still got the problem.

[Tom Elliott]

@fogschut Please rerun the installer. Git pull will not work in this instance. re-running the installer will download whatever the latest init’s are.

I just pushed a testing version using a very old version of the script that handles resizing modified slightly to adjust for some of the changes in the variables being passed in.

[fogschut]

I did run a git pull followed by running the install-script (installfog.sh) and the problem is not fixed.

I still get a raw partition as 2nd partition and the uploaded image on the server is way too small to contain all the data on the server.

[Tom Elliott]

@fogschut When did you try? After I posted my message and before you posted yours?

Just need clarity. Not even 20 minutes ago a new init was uploaded Information will help me help find the problem, or at the least narrow it down.

[fogschut]

immediately after your message. I’m working on another image on another PC at the moment so I can test immediately

[fogschut]

Just to take away any confusion:

After this the problem persists. Check date command on top.

[Tom Elliott]

Figured out the problem.

This is because of 4k disks. I won’t go into the specifics, but I can try to show the math that equates out exactly what was happening:.

I was taking the size, making it a multiple of 1024:

9637387 * 1024 = 9868684288

On a 512 block disk (normal sized from long ago) The math than goes:
9868684288 / 512 = 19274774

Then we align it as needed (no need to show that work here).

On a 4096 block disk (4k) the math was being presented as:
9868684288 / 4096 = 2409346.75

Now if you make that number an int, you can immediately see it EXACTLY equals the number sectors trying to be copied.

Take that 2409346 and multiple it by 512 and you get about 1.2 GB of disk.

I’ve taken correction action on this and hope this will no longer be present.

As always, please re-run the installer and this capture issue (which appears to me to be only related to 4k disks) should be fixed.

[Tom Elliott]

Oh, and here’s the size that the (bad) was returning:

1233585536

In otherwords, 1 gb, 233 mb, 585 kb, 536b (or 1.2 GB)

Ugh, 4kn drives… nuff said.

I would your legacy code will work for 512e drives since they are being presented externally as 512n drives but internally they are 4k.

[Tom Elliott]

I will, however, add that the “boot” partition issue you’re describing.

FOG does not resize partitions that have a label containing reserved, or recovery.

If the label isn’t there, it’s shouldn’t hurt anything to be resized. I don’t think the “non-boot” issue was due to this resizing anyway, now that I’m aware of the CHUNK_SIZE problem. If anything, it was this chunk_size issue that was causing the boot problems to begin with.

[fogschut]

I was indeed running on a 4k drive, those things are so common now I did not even think about mentioning it

The capture job worked correct now and the image was properly recognized as NTFS and a Block Size of 4096 bytes rather than raw and 512 bytes. I was able to restore the image without any problems.

It seems you solved the problem, thanks for your hard work!

Hello,
I test in debug mode, when I launch “fgo” and I have a message “* Running post init scripts…/bin/fog: line 20: fog.postinit: No such file or directory”

@Tom-Elliott My capture is running well now, thanks for your magic

@george1421 Hello, thanks for your answer, Sorry, I change the path and I foget to copy postinitscripts.
