We have a server that is starting to run out of drive space. My question, if I copy an image file off the server onto an external HD and later want to copy it back when I need to use it, is there a way to do this?

I tried to do this, but the restored image comes up with a 0 kb size and is unable to be used.

I will admit, I am not much of a linux guy, and probably doing this all wrong but trying to learn…

Steps I have taken to backup image:

1. Copied image off server to external HD using WinSCP
2. Deleted the image in fog
3. rm -rf /images/image directory

Steps I did to try and restore the image:

1. Copied image back to /images/image directory
2. Created the image in fog
3. Tried using the image… no go

then

1. Created the image in fog
2. Copied image back to /images/image directory
3. Tried using the image… no go

Is this even possible or what am I doing wrong??

Thanks

Reading through some of the forums, I saw the post about updating fog. I updated from 1.5.3 to 1.5.4 and that seems to have resolved the issue.

Thanks

I too am getting this error, but at line 52 column 4.

I get this when I am trying to do a full inventory on a new machine. It will continue and gives me a done at the end of inventory, but after rebooting it will tell me it is still not registered.

I have attempted to register it a few times, and even with a done at the end never seems to register. I also do not see any entries for the workstation in fog management.

I am running version 1.5.3

It seems to be just this one workstation as the other workstations in the lab are working properly.

As a side note, these workstations only have one nic in regards to your previous post.

Thanks

I have an Ubuntu Server 12.10 running Fog .32

Everything is working except for Multicast imaging. I start a task and the computers will just boot to a blue Just Waiting screen.

Looking through other posts, I checked to make sure that the FOGMulticastManager, FOGScheduler, and FOGImageReplicator services were running and found that they were not.

I am exhibiting the same symptoms as fog article [url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/missing-log-files.750/[/url]

If I do a ps aux | grep FOG, I receive the following response:
root 4435 0.0 0.0 9392 936 tty1 S+ 11:46 0:00 grep --color=auto FOG
I will also try restarting the services, which will say OK, but will still give me the above response.
It appears that the services are not loading and running, but I am not sure why or how to get them to??
Any advice?
Thanks
