So after doing some further reading i came across one of the developers helping with a similar situation in this post

https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/15608/imaging-from-large-drive-to-small-drive/12

@Sebastian-Roth suggested to edit the d1.minimum.partitions file do a debug PXE boot and run some commands to deploy the partition structure then capture the d1.mbr file and copy it into the image directory

I have had to calculate my own values for altering the start point of p5 but this seems to have solved my issue for now

Hi All,

I am getting the following error when trying to deploy to a machine with a smaller disk

GPT image and captured as Single Disk Resizeable

Gist of the error is

Warning! Secondary partition table overlaps the last partition by #### blocks!
You will need to delete this partition or resize it in another utility

Problem: partition 5 is too big for the disk

at which point it fails and reboots and tries again.

Am running FOG 1.5.9 so has the latest init file which from my reading should solve this but i have read numerous forum posts and cannot get this working
