No worries
Hope I didn’t cause any offence…
It was more of a case sharing that video that I had used…
One other thing that when you do that the documentation could with an overhaul. Seems to be all over the place.
Also what with the changes to Fedora in regards to the package deploy and mariadb replacing mysql…
compression tech?
just used the defaults…where do i find that?
on the image?
hi
well first before fog as a stop gap used clonezilla.
ok so that was booting off the computer that I was going to clone, but well it went to the same server as a target…
throughput was about 4gb/min compared with just under 1gb/min.
will need to check…though - might do a test to see if and where there is a bottleneck…
also well the location has changed…so well the network could be affecting.
Implemented FOG about 5 years odd ago, so glad to get it back up and running. Clonezilla ok for a single one time solution, but fog so much better than the clonezilla server…
hi
well think i found the elephant in the fog…
went debug and ran the fixparts command
came up with a gpt error on the disk and said that I should remove this.
so did and now it doing the clone.
throughput currently running at aprox 1000mb/min…which aint that good…but that might be due to where it is plugged in etc…
using the multi part single disk, though don’t think that would cause a slow down.

Hi
Well um I went with ubuntu 14.04
Found a nice youtube video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TG9qRLQyDU8
That went through the setup of it…
Good news.
The PXE option now works. But you have to be quick in order to select it, so maybe that was the issue last time???
Anyway
New problem…
Created the image.
Set to single disk, resizable partititons.
And told it to create an image.
How ever came back that it could not find any resizable partitions…
Now going to try it to do the all disk options…
Not to big a problem I guess…but would have been nice to be able to re size…
BTW
think you could resize the partitions on clonezilla…
hi
um well the fog server has just died…
Come up with error that the database is not configured and it going through the whole loop of not installing.
It difficult to get the pxe message on the computer…will try to.
Just about to resinstall FOG.
BTW what is the best dist of linux to use?
seems there has been a quite a few changes to yum, mysql etc…had to dig around to get a clear picture, then again maybe it something i done wrong on the setup.
starting again from scratch.
will try and get the pxe message…
one thing from the trace that i picked up is that it does not find the server, it does not get the mac address from the arp.
which kind of matches up with the message on the client that I saw…in that it can not find the pxe server…
damit it just broke…
coming up that the schmea needs to be reapplied, going for a reinstall to fix
Hi
I’ve done the capture.
Looks like it can not find the fog server.
But when I login to that pc client and do a ping and arp it is able to get to the fog server as well as get the correct arp result…
cheers
Hi
will do.
One thing the setup for the mac address that I’m testing is for DHCP.
Should it be on supported types
Both
DHCP
Bootp
cheers
