Greetings, I am using Fog 1.2 and trying to multicast a windows 7 image.
when the fist partition /dev/sda1 is restored I get the error , target partition size (212mb is smaller that source 213mb) use option -C to disable size checking(dangerous), it then goes on to with the screen showing starting to restore image to device /dev/sda2, but just hangs on this screen.
please see output from /opt/fog/log/multicast.log.udpcast.10

Thanks for your help,

Thanks Tom, apologies perhaps I was unclear. I am aware of the max wait timeout, but wanted to check if there was a way of starting a multicast session when one or more host failed to join without using the max wait timeout? I.e. something like a force start command…
Thanks very much,

Greetings all, using fog 1.2 is it possible to force a multicast session to start, say in the event that not all hosts in the multicast session were able to join, similar to the function whereby you can use a count down timer for hosts to join.

Thanks very much
Denis

Greetings,

I am trying to upload a Linux (Centos) image using Fog0.32 , but have also tried latest update of Fog 0.33b
Centos has been installed using default options, and on FOG have selected linux as OS.
Fog 0.32 complains thet i have selected Linus as OS while Fog 0.33b. says invalid file system for the second partion.
Can you please advice under what setup or config it is possible to upload a Linux image.

Many Thanks
Denis

Hi Tom, have updated to the v 1124, still having same issues with multicsting as with my earlier post from yesterdat at 5:25, just letting you know, not sure if felt that multucasting should work or if your still working on it.
Thanks

Hi Tom, sorry I have never used active-snapins, all I use is capture and deploy, but the error I am experiencing seem similar to the snapin issue in the latest fog thread.

Hi Tom, built new server with latest v1119, still getting error on /var/log/appache2/error.log.

This is similar to the issues I had with my previous fog sever, and though I has caused the issue.
When I try to run multitask , i get these error, UDP-transmit does not get called.

Thanks again

Thanks Tom, I believe I did restart is, however I ahve since installed phpmyadmin, and apears to have broken my fog installation. Busy setting up a new FOg server and will test again and let you know

Hi Tom, thanks. i have updated to latest version with rtrim included but is still the same, still putting in the two //,
Thanks

Hi Tom, thanks. That has certainly help, sorry just another thing, image is not getting deploy,
Notice below, the gunzip cmd, show the image as /images//win8, suspect this should be /images/win8.

If you dont mind if this is indead a typo can you let me know where I can make this change, much appreciated…
