Side note, it appears that the KEA DHCP server in pfSense 2.7.2 does not properly support serving the correct boot file to BIOS vs EFI systems. It all works fine with Windows DHCP. This had nothing to do with my original issue.

@benc If its only one image, it probably easier to recreate the metadata by hand in the new fog server. As long as you remember the path part of the image definition is case sensitive you probably can make an educated guess at the rest of the settings You will see the image size being zero bytes after you manually create the image definition but that is OK since that value is only created on an upload and is only used for display purposes.

Cool! I didn’t know that option was there. Thanks.

Ran this from the Ubuntu 18 box:

root@ubuntu18:~# zstdmt -dc </images/_Windows10Prox641909/d1p4.img | partclone.info -s - Partclone v0.3.11 http://partclone.org Showing info of image (-) File system: NTFS Device size: 9.9 GB = 2412369 Blocks Space in use: 9.6 GB = 2351625 Blocks Free Space: 248.8 MB = 60744 Blocks Block size: 4096 Byte image format: 0002 created on a: 64 bits platform with partclone: v0.3.13 bitmap mode: BIT checksum algo: NONE checksum size: n/a blocks/checksum: n/a reseed checksum: n/a

@Quazz Nice explanation of the issues regarding the order of the partitions and the starting positions. I think that’s exactly what was going on. Since the actual usage of the original 1TB drive was only ~150GB, I went with a 240GB SSD which has always worked for me before. It gave me that “Seems like you are trying to restore to an empty disk…” error every time I tried to deploy that image to anything smaller than 2TB. Now that the two little partitions at the end of the original drive are gone, I recaptured it and it deployed just fine to a 240GB SSD.

I think that is interesant see this post:

Multicast data address not change from one task to another one

@benc Good to hear that you could make it work. I still suggest you should read up more about UEFI and think about moving all your systems that direction.
