Tom? Junkhacker? Anyone? What next?

Being kicked out of my office for the evening. Will take whaqt ever steps you suggest in the morning.

I know you have to ask that, Tom.

Yes, the path in the WebUI and the actual filesystem path now match, letter for letter, as /images/MyImage. Capitalization verified. Do I need a .mntcheck file in that directory? Right now,m the only things in the image directory are the sys.img.000 (big file) and d1.mbr (tiny file).

I’d recommend moving the /images/dev/<macaddresshere> to /images/<imagename>[/QUOTE]

Done…but no joy. BTW, I had to create the /image/<imagename> directory. Yes, I chown’ed to fog:root and chmod’ed to 777 (and verified that it took)

It looked to this n00b like it did:

Image Management has accurate “Uploaded” times, and the Scheduler log says:
[07-01-14 2:05:21 pm] * 1 active task(s) awaiting check-in sending WOL request(s).
[07-01-14 2:05:21 pm] - Host: PC1 WOL sent using MAC: aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
[07-01-14 2:05:21 pm] * No tasks found!

Hmm…all is correct, with one possible exception:
The image path is /images/<imagename>
BUT, in the filesystem, the actual path is /images/dev/001d09d73937/sys.img.000
That’s just where Fog put the images when I created them…including the Hex.

(oh, and “/images” is a symlink to /home/fog/images)

Hi Tom,

It’s v1.1.2. The first image is a Single Disk image, Win7. The second image is a a Multiple Partition Image - Single Disk, also Win7.

-Bruce D.

Both are correct.

Fresh install of 1.1.2, installed on CentOS 6.5, running under VMware Player 6

I uploaded an image to FOG (the Scheduler log says successfully) and am trying to deploy the image to an identical computer. The images is a Single Disk image. When I try to create the task in the Fog WebUI, I get the following error message:
[QUOTE]Download task failed to create for PC1 with image A
To setup download task, you must first upload an image[/QUOTE]

OK, so I tried this on a different computer - same result.

Tried to manually pull an image from the PXE menu. The error message on both computers is only “An error has been detected.”

Then I followed the instructions in: [QUOTE][url=“http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Troubleshooting_an_image_push_to_a_client”]www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Troubleshooting_an_image_push_to_a_client[/url][/QUOTE]
That is, I booted both clients in debug mode and tried to apply the image manually. I get all the way to the partimage restore, and partimage immediately aborts the operation with no error, just “Aborted”. That happens with both the command-line and gui versions of partimage.

So, I tried to do partimage imginfo. Same “Aborted”.

At this point, you’re no doubt thinking that there’s a problem with the image. I had the same thought, so I uploaded another image (this time a Multiple Partition Image - Single Disk, just to change things up) from still another computer (this is the 3rd computer, but it’s DIFFERENT hardware). All the same problems in all same places.

So, I CAN PXE boot, connect to the server, upload images, and see the image files. I just can’t deploy the images.

Help!
Thanks in advance,

Also recommend that the 50-Gb root partition issue in CentOS be discussed, and instructions be added to move the images directory to a larger partition as part of the installation instructions, to avoid the likely issue of someone trying to upload an image bigger than 50 Gb to the root partition.
