I think he just want to retrieve date from an image with out the need to deploy it to a computer, So just read only access. Is that possible?

I am afraid when ever i try to copy and past from the sight, I loose all formatting. So all of the code turns in to a big mess

I don’t know the answer to your question using fog, but I would recommend looking in to Lan school [URL=‘http://www.lanschool.com/’]http://www.lanschool.com/. [/URL]
It is designed to monitor computer in a class room lab, you can watch screens, blank screen freeze there mouse and keyboard, ect… but I have found it super useful for computer maintenance because you can also power on computer, restart them and shutdown computers, start programs/scrips, send and receive files and log in/log off using what ever user you want. You can also remote control all the computers at once, that is always fun.

I am not sure what it is on pricing.

I also like virtualize, because it saves power/money/enviroment, I run mine from home, so I pay the bills, and it is anywhere from $15-30 a month in power to run a computer/server 24/7. I have 7 virtual computer running on 1 box. that is saving me ~$120 a month just in power.

You might be able to do this with a scrip and send it out via snap in. Like a vbs scrips like this
[CODE]msgbox"This computer has a task pending! Please reboot to start the task",48,“Task Pending”[/CODE]

But it would be cool to have on of those bubble popup on the task bar, saying there is a task pending.

The only way I have figure out how to do this, it to use the google cached, but I tried to go to the link you posted and it doesn’t look like it was cashed.

I would love them to be back up only if they are read only, because having two forms for one product gets confusing. And I like these forms better anyways.

I guess for now, just start asking your questions here so we can build up the content on these new forms.
I would be nice to have access to the old forms so, the information can be re posted on these new forms.

If we are making a list of the forms toppic we want I am trying to find the second page on this topic, to [URL=‘http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:Kk0JynfkWToJ:sourceforge.net/projects/freeghost/forums/forum/716418/topic/4039406+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=firefox-a’]image extended partitions in fog[/URL].

I would like this as well.
I found a temporary solution is to use Google’s web cache to look at it.

But I would also like to say, I love these new forms, they just lack a lot of the information the information the old forms had

Here is an article on how to disable compression
[url]http://steve.blogme.us/2010/01/14/disable-gzip-image-compression-in-fog-for-faster-image-creation/[/url]
I think you can also increase the number to 2 and it will use bz2 compression to get it smaller, but will take longer to compress.

At the end of the post they said there is a script that will do this for, you but I don’t know where it would be located. I will look around my fog-server and see if I can find it.

Jumping a head here a bit, Since you are doing a mass cloning, you might want to skips steps like registering the clients and just go right to imaging.
Here is a guide on how to do that
[url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Bypass_Host_Registration[/url]

But you may want to register just for the sake a keeping track of everything.

I have fog running on a ubuntu 10.10 VM, running on ESXI.
The host server specs
Intell i7 2600K
16GB DDR3 Ram
~8TB a HD space with mismatch hard drives

I am running this on my home network, so nothing to extreme over here. Have 10 computers all running on 1GB network. A few of the computers have there own image, but most have a generic base win 7 image that I can quickly deploy to any computer. I have windows 7 computers and i am starting to get in to Ubuntu, so also have a few Ubuntu computers that I image as well.

As far a features I use imaging of course, the inventory system, and the others tasks yous can send out to clients, like clam av and disk check are very helpful. I also love PXE, starting to add 3ed party iso to it. I would love snapins but I haven’t figured out how to use them yet.

That same ip address computer would be my bet. When you where trying to open a webpage to your fog server, it was going to the wrong computer, because it had the same IP as the fog server, and because that windows computer isn’t hosting a web sight, IE couldn’t display the page.

I have used fog .32 on ubuntu 11.10 server and it works fine. It should work on the desktop version as well

I should mention that was only in a testing environment, I can’t speak for it in a production environment.

But from what I could tell it worked just a fine in 11.10 as it does in 10.10

Update,

I got it working!!
It was way easier then i thought it would be.
Followed the instruction post on the fog wiki
[url]http://fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Building_a_Custom_Kernel[/url]

At the end of step 5 when you pick what you want installed, I just did a ctrl+f (or edit find) and searched for vmware, and checked “VMware PVSCSI driver support”. then saved it then went on to setup 6 in the instructions

Ok I will just compile my own then.

Thanks

I have the same problem as well

Is there a kernel that has the SCSI vmware support?

I have tried the latest on 3.1-rc8 Core but it doesn’t work.

After thinking it over, I decided to just buy a new drive, to store images on, then backup the images, to the windows file server.
I think I will be better performance doing it this way, would you agree?

If I get some spare time, I might try a NFS share, and see how it goes.

Thanks

O Sorry, guess my web server is having problems (AGAIN), well Dropbox to the rescue.
They should be going through now.

I setup my images folder to be a mount to a SAMBA share.
But now it am receiving

[IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1754769/Internet PIx/fog-samba.JPG[/IMG]

This is sounding like an access problem. I tried the Chmod and Chown the /images folder but is get access denied, even with the sudo command.
This is the permission on the images folder. It is also the permission on all of the files inside the images folder.
[IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1754769/Internet PIx/fog-Images.JPG[/IMG]
The SAMBA server is a windows server 2008 box, the user account the fog server is useing to access the share has full access, to that share. Both locally and remotely

Is this even possible to do?

Thanks
