Is there a way to delay rename and domain join for x minutes? I have scripts in my answer file setup to run upon first logon. The clients are getting renamed and restarted before the scripts can finish running.
The main script activates Windows 7. If you know of another way to do this that would probably solve this issue as well.
From what I’ve gathered from other users. This is an issue with FOG 0.32. I imaged Win7 single partition all the time with version 0.29 and it gave me nice small files to work with. I chose the multiple partition option and it’s working just fine now, but with larger images of course. I should have stuck with 0.29. I’ve run into several issues with 0.32.
I’m running FOG 0.32. The image I’m working on right now is a Win7 image. In image management I have the image type set to single partition (NTFS Only, Resizeable). When I upload the image FOG does not resize it. On the “Save partition to Image File” client screen while it’s uploading the Detected File System is raw. What’s going on?
Same here. You are probably about where I was about 1yr ago. Open up terminal and place sudo in front of the file name.
sudo [I]filelocation/filename[/I]
Alternatively you can enable the root account which is not recommended, but I do anyways.
Open up terminal and type:
[I]sudo passwd root[/I]
You can disable it after getting everything configured.[I]
sudo passwd -l root[/I]
Even if you open it as the root user?
Did you try editing the file as in post #3? When I was setting all this up I was trying to with Ubuntu Hyper-V VMs which did not work very well. I only had one stand alone box available so I do not have any storagenodes setup currently.
Teena, Thanks for the update. I’ve never done that before. Do I simply put the text [SIZE=13px][FONT=arial][COLOR=#000000][B]Kernel - 2.6.35.7 KS[/B] in the Host Kernel input box for the host? Would I need to download the kernel from ASUS and drop it somewhere on the fogserver?[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE]
I started the process again. This time it automatically started. It imaged 100% in 5 min. When I entered the command [B]/usr/sbin/ntfsresize /dev/sda1 -f -b -P[/B]
I received ERROR (22) Opening /dev/sda1 as NTFS failed…doesn’t have a valid NTFS.
When I boot to the hd I get an error that says something like OS missing

This image is the result of the option “Simulation of the Restoration”.
What does this mean?

I’m following the troubleshooting tutorial. After entering the following command on step 7 I get the image that I uploaded below.
/usr/sbin/partimage restore /dev/sda1 /images/AsusXP [B]-f3 -b[/B]
Which Option should I select?

Thanks for your help! I’ll try this in the morning and post back.
Tried to image and got the same results. I’m stumped.
Ok. sda is the hd. I ran [B]dd if=/usr/share/fog/mbr/xp.mbr of=/dev/sda[/B]
and got these results:
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
I’ll try to reimage now.
Let me clarify. I use diskpart before installing the OS on the “golden image” machine. I do not diskpart on the machines downloading the image.
How do I enter debug mode? Are you refering to booting to xp hd and pressing f8? What are the steps required to perform the process you describe above?
I should add that that imaging these netbooks to xp with clonezilla works just fine. It just takes a lot longer and is very inconvenient.
I have a lab of Asus 1000HE netbooks. I imaged these a few years ago with XP and Fog .29 and had no issues. A few months ago I imaged these with Win7 and fog .29. To upgrade to windows 7 I had to install a bios update. Again no issues. Now I want to go back to XP. I’m now using fog .32. The image fails when downloading. See image link below. I’ve tried the old xp image and I’ve created a new xp image and both do the same thing. To install xp I have to change IDE Configuration setting in bios from AHCI to IDE. I’ve tried deploying with fog and setting up golden images on a few different netbooks to make sure it’s not a single computer issue. Could it be bios related? I tried to downgrade. I don’t think it’s possible.
Before I install the OS I follow these steps:
[CODE]Diskpart
list disk [See which drive is which]
select disk 1 [corresponding to disk on your computer]
clean
create partition primary
select partition 1
active
format fs=ntfs quick
assign
exit
exit[/CODE]
When I’m finished creating the golden image I run [CODE]chkdsk /f[/CODE] reboot twice and then [CODE]chkdsk /x c:[/CODE] reboot twice and then upload to fogserver.
ERROR:
[CODE]Changing hostname…NTFS signature is missing.
Failed to mount ‘/dev/sda1’: Invalid argument
The device ‘/dev/sda1’ doesn’t seem to have a valid NTFS.
Maybe the wrong device is usied? Or the whole disk instead of a partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)" Or the other way around?
unmount: can’t unmount /ntfs: Invalid argument[/CODE]

Ahh, good to know. I’m sure that’s what it is. Thanks!
I recently moved to a new Ubuntu box for our organization’s Fog server. It was an Ubuntu 10.04 and Fog 3.0. Now it’s on an Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Fog 3.0. I backed up Fog database and images from the old box and then restored them to the new after I installed Fog 3.0 on the new box.
I noticed that new images are saving as gz directories instead of a typical folder. I had one of these work fine for deployment and another not. Is there a reason for the change? Should I ignore this?

Did you ever figure this out? I have the same issue. I too followed the fog wiki you posted above. What is supposed to be in the .mntcheck files? Mine have nothing in them - 0kb.
