Capture is only 2.5MB

I still need clarification.
Capturing an image only captures “used” data. RAW copies a disk bit for bit.
Does the captured image not work? I don’t expect it would, but we don’t know.
doubt you have a full fledged OS sitting on 55kb of data.

Hi
No, the image extraction does not work, it’s alomost like an image with no content
I tried deploying it and it obviously has no OS etc then
-
@KeithDib Have you checked the master image to ensure the disk doesn’t have any defects. I can’t think of a reason why fog would stop imaging at such a small disk size unless its running into an error on the disk. You may have to watch the partclone process closely, if partclone runs into an error it will display the error very quickly then exit.
But I feel your issue is on image capture according to what we see for files that actually are stored in the fog server.
-
Yeah tried chkdsk etc, also as I say it seems to work if a RAW image is extracted
-
would you recommend starting again and rebuild the Ubuntu and reinstall FOG?
-
No. I don’t think your installation is the problem. I’m siding with @george1421 that the disk this was captured from is having some kind of issue. Can you try capturing from another system?
-
I have tried from 2 different XP and 1 Win 7 machines, and the same machines seem to extract fine if i use RAW image
-
Have you "watched’ the screens during the capture process?
It seems incredibly odd that you are the only person reporting this problem. A TON of work went into 1.3.5 in regards to resizable images. That said 1.4.0-RC-1 found another issue in regards to aligning the disks, but I’m 99% sure this isn’t the problem you’re seeing either.
Can you watch the system during it’s capture process please? Maybe even capture it in a “debug” mode?
Try to see where, if any, there’s an error?
-
I will try again when I get home from the day job, but the actual imaging part of the process is over before you really get to see much on the screen, the progress bar seems to go from 1% to 100% instantly, then the process continues and the machine restarts/shutsdown depending on the settings etc
-
@KeithDib This is why I ask you to create the tasking in debug.
-
I will do that later today
-
I have ran a capture Debug, and although it looks on the capture machine to be running through the tests the server just sees the task as queued, and stays like that
-
Pictures would really go a long way if you can provide any, or even a video?
-
Also, what is the image defined as in the GUI?
This almost sounds like you have it set to get mbr data only or vsomething.

@KeithDib said in Capture is only 2.5MB:
0_1491237311506_Windows XP v1.webm
Please retry the upload.
Have your browser in full.
Paste your pic/move.
Look on the right hand side and it will switch from text to media type or pic if that’s what you’re uploading. I got nothing right now

@KeithDib Can we get a screen shot of how you have:
- This target hardware defined in FOG (Host Management -> Host definition)
- For the image referenced in step 1, can you also post a screen shot of the current image definition (Image Management -> image definition).
This would be from the fog web gui
-
Also,
Debug brings you to a command prompt, this is expected.
At the command prompt type:
fogStep through the process, you can grab video or pictures as well.
