@sebastian-roth while your reply was a bit cryptical in the sense that I had no idea what FOS init was I went down the rabbit hole of trying to upgrade our FOG-server.

Lets just say: Not trying that again. My old FOG-server was initially build in a 0.xx version (I think) and was running on Ubuntu 14. Eons ago I made something for a co-worker to make it possible to simply mass-deploy images.

Fast-forward to 2022 with new hardware “the new guy” complaint about the old tool how it didnt resize drives.

I just bit the bullet and build a new VM, installed a 1.5.9 FOG from scratch, recaptured the image to this new server and it just works.

I’m not going to try and debug a Ubuntu 12 to 14 update-on-update FOG-installation, so thanks for your help - the new FOG-version runs perfectly fine for our task

I have an image on our FOG-server (1.5.5) defined as Single Disk - Resizable which does not resize the Windows-partition to the maximum size of the drive it is restored to:

d1.partitions:
label: dos
label-id: 0x13922a8b
device: /dev/nvme0n1
unit: sectors

/dev/nvme0n1p1 : start= 2048, size= 102400, type=7, bootable
/dev/nvme0n1p2 : start= 104448, size= 166619789, type=7

d1.original.fstypes:
/dev/nvme0n1p2 ntfs

d1.minimum.partitions:
label: dos
label-id: 0x13922a8b
device: /dev/nvme0n1
unit: sectors

/dev/nvme0n1p1 : start= 2048, size= 102400, type=7, bootable
/dev/nvme0n1p2 : start= 104448, size= 43383800, type=7

d1.fixed_size_partitions:
:1

What I would like is that the 2nd partition is automatically extended to the end of the drive. I’ve tried various settings in d1.fixed_size_partitions, but i never get that the 2nd partition is resized to maximum size.

Is there anything I can do with these files to change them so that happens? Or should I remake the image ?

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!

Just to take away any confusion:

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

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

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.

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

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

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)

Im running FOG 1.3.5 RC11 - but I got the exact same problem as described by david77.

When I’m trying to image a Windows 10 drive the resizing etc all goes well. Eventually Partclone will image the first (500 Mb.) SYSTEM RESERVED partition and recognizes it as a NTFS partition. The second partition (the normal drive) is not properly recognized as NTFS - the file system is set to raw as shown in the screenshot of david77.

I’m not sure what is happening exactly, but I do know the File system: raw is not correct, this should be NTFS. the Device Size is not correct too, the partition should be a lot bigger.
