You were wrong After upgrading to trunk, the empty images disappeared automagically. Let’s hope everything will work like expected on tomorrow’s next imaging-spree. At least, this specific problem has been solved.
Thanks a lot. I really mean it.

@Tom-Elliott And you can’t calculate all the hours you’ve saved for other admins.

@Wayne-Workman @Tom-Elliott thanks for your advice. I’m in the process of upgrading right now.

@Tom-Elliott thanks for this idea. Do you assume upgrading will fix this problem - or will it “only” prevent it to re-appear again?

@Tom-Elliott We’re indeed on an imaging-spree. Up- and download continued to work normally - at least within the first hour after the start of this nightmare. A bunch of systems were waiting to checkin, but that might be the normal consequence of out host limit.

@Wayne-Workman thanks. apache2 is now stopped. We’re going to deploy images to hundreds of computers this week…

@Tom-Elliott this if fog 1.2.0. Install date 28 Jul 2014

Hi community,
at this very moment, fog is producing new database-entries for images - more than 5 of them every second, each one of them completely blank.

Step 0: My fog-server together with one fog-node have been configured more than a year ago and they were doing a good job - until now.

Step 1: Today I was going to delete some old images to free some diskspace. So I logged into the WebUI and went to “Images”->“list of images”. I marked one entry and chose to delete them: the database-entry including the corresponding files. I repeated this step for two more images. The database-entries vanished from the list of images and the files vanished from the filesystem, as expected.

Step 2: But beginning with the first deletion, the list of images got filled with additional entries for fog-images, each of them completely blank (lacking any data). Within this process, no files have been created in the images-directory of the filesystem.
In this very moment, more than 5 new entries are appearing every second (To state it clearer: Log into the WebUI, choose “images”->“list of images”. A few minutes after Step 1, I needed to scroll down several thousand empty entries to see the “real” ones.)

Even after a reboot, this process went on. This is very disturbing and I really don’t want to re-install an re-configure fog from the very beginning.

Could you help me to
1.) Stop the creation of new empty images (the database entries)
2.) Delete these empty images from the database without starting that nightmare again
3.) Delete any valid images from the database without starting that nightmare again

I really appreciate your support!
Kindly,
Handtuch
