WOW! Kudos to everyone who participated in making FOG version 1.2 so quickly. My Linux image has worked flawlessly with various size hard drives. I’m new to the open source community and I’m totally impressed… thank you!

[quote=“Jaymes Driver, post: 32040, member: 3582”]I understand that! There are deffinately commands out there to complete the task, however I have never ventured into this territory, it might be wise to look in some linux imaging forums for a command that would complete the task for you :)[/quote]

Will do… thanks!

[quote=“Jaymes Driver, post: 31999, member: 3582”]My recommendation is gParted. In windows it’s as simple as editing the partition and telling it to expand the space. There are ways to do it with commands, but gParted is a GUI and a Live CD.[/quote]

We image hundreds of computers during a year and I’m looking for a way to automate the expansion during imaging. I’ve used gParted before, but I want students – who will be imaging these computers – to have as few steps as possible. Thanks for your reply.

Thanks for the info… I created a new Raw image on a 40GB HD and deployed the image to a 80GB HD. It created a 40GB partition for the OS and an additional 40GB of “Free Space.” How do I automatically take advantage of all of the HD space, i.e., one 80GB partition?

I’m getting an error downloading a Linux Raw image using FOG 1.1.1 on Ubuntu 13.10 with an image of Mint 17. The error says, “Target partition size (40000 MB) is smaller than source (80000 MB). Use option -C to disable size checking (Dangerous).” I have successfully imaged various HD’s using Multiple Partition Image - All Disks, but I would like to be able to use just one image for different HD sizes.

Is the Raw image type the best choice, and if so, how do I disable size checking?
