Hello Sebastian!
Cloning works again, maybe some sun flares 
Your kernel-params for sercon are working great!
Thanks a lot for your help!
Best regards,
R.
Dear Sebastian!
Wow! Any kind of display at headless machines would be great!
It is an APU-Board.
https://www.pcengines.ch/apu3c4.htm
enabling the sserial console withj kernel params would be cool!
Your guess: single disk multi partitions is correct
Your suggestion lead to this: Everything went fine. In debug-mode the clone was successful.
After the successful cloning in debug-mode
I tried again with non-debug but did not change the moidified ramdisk back, cloning worked
After the successful cloning I re-did with the original ramdisk: cloning worked
I have no idea whats going on.
thx!
R

@Sebastian-Roth said in Cloning loops forever:
ssh -o “UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null” -o “StrictHostKeyChecking=no” root@
Hi There!
Uh! It took me a while to make a video.
Since i installed 1.5.5 the behaviour changed a bit: now the computer reboots everyx time it wants to get a new clone, but loops anyway.
Where can I put it? Its got 80MB. Maybe i can send it by “wetransfer.com”?
Here is the description:
you can see 3 Windows:
upper left: serial console to the computer that shall be captured
upper rigth: „watch -la /images/dev/00…“
these are the events at specific timestamps:
0:29 computer boots (its headless, only serial console is available to watch it)
1:47: directories+files are created
1:50: clone starts
3:28 reboot
4:54 ftp test
Hi!
My clone (capture) loops forever.
I tried these 3 things - more than once
1st) i checked all passwords, I walked through https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Troubleshoot_FTP
2nd) i installed 1.5.5 over 1.5.0
3rd) i checked all passwords - incl. the linux-user “fog”
What happens:
when clone is finished, it starts from beginning. Computer does NOT(!) reboot, it simply starts to clone again.
the /images/dev/00… looks like:
drwxrwxrwx 2 fog root 96 Nov 20 22:56 .
drwxrwxrwx 4 fog root 4096 Nov 20 22:04 …
-rw-r–r-- 1 root root 0 Nov 20 22:56 d1.has_grub
-rw-r–r-- 1 root root 1048576 Nov 20 22:56 d1.mbr
-rw-r–r-- 1 root root 20 Nov 20 22:56 d1p1.img.000
-rw-r–r-- 1 root root 182 Nov 20 22:56 d1.partitions
Give attention to the d1p1.img.000 entry.
It starts with size 0, then goes to 20, and thats it. it never grows bigger.
i can change whatever permissions what ever i want, no change.
when ist starts over, the MAC-Dir is deleted and newly made with root:root and thats it.
Any help is welcome!
regards
@tom-elliott
I think i will change the FS of the disk, so it will become cloneable.
have a nice day and thanks a lot for your help!
can you mark the thread solved?
@tom-elliott
Hi!
i just saw, that FOG uses partclone 0.2.89 but 0.3.10 is actual.
BTRFS seems to be an issue with partclone.
Is there a way to upgrade partclone to 0.3.10 in a debian installation of fog ?
thx!
@tom-elliott
Okay, clonezille (live) crashed too.
it terminates without any error-message or exit-code.
the only solution I came up at the moment is:
running fog DEBUG and boot into a shell
then mount the fog nfs share
then dd both disks onto that share
so, at least i have a backup
if you have any better idea, you are welcome!
best regards,
Xibeaga
@tom-elliott
hey, no problem at all! :)))
Okay, ic. I suspected partclone too.
I never used clonezilla, I just know it exists. I use fog since 0.98 or so…
Ok, I will try clonezilla on this.
Hm, maybe i should try fog with dd first?
