      @chris_unit said in Controlling exit:

      That way we can book to windows using exit to refind, and exit to GRUB UEFI for ubuntu.

      You are on the right track on the other thread. The two refind options are what you need. This way you can target where refind looks for the boot files. You can include and exclude file paths to get what you need.

      The grub4win implementation inside fog is bios only. BUT that’s not to say you couldn’t use a similar concept to the dual refind hack to leverage grub too. There are a few ways to go about it. I don’t have to deal with dual boot so I’ve never looked into streamlining that flow.

      @sebastian-roth Hi there
      we’ve done some testing and found that non resizeable seems to move between different size disks and puts the partition size back to 200gb

      i think this should do the trick

      @chris_unit As I said, this is a legacy BIOS partition layout and we can’t move around partitions on that.

      Sorry if you got my last message wrong. Simply deleting the first partitions won’t help. You’d need to move the still existing ones forward. But doing that in a rush could kill your Linux system. Depending on the boot loader used it might point to a certain sector on the disk.

      @chris_unit said in Intel NUC UEFI PXE menu:

      and set the vendor class to PXEClient:Arch:00007
      is that the right vendor class for an intel nuc?

      I can’t answer that. I can tell you it will either be type 7 or 9 for 64 bit uefi computers.

      If you want to find out what type the nucs are setup wireshark on a witness computer (second computer on the same subnet). Run a capture filter of port 67 or port 68 PXE boot the target computer. In the Discover packet sent out by the target computer, in the dhcp option 93 or 94 (sorry can’t remember at the moment) the target computer tells the dhcp server what type it is.

      @chris_unit With some solid Linux knowledge you surely can convert an LVM install to a plain one but probably re-installing is a lot faster if the system is not highly customized.

      @chris_unit said in mysql not starting when trying to install 2nd time:

      did you install on 7.2?

      I haven’t. Somehow thought this was a typo when you first mentioned version 7.2. Quoting from: https://mirrors.xtom.de/centos/7.2.1511/readme

      This directory (and version of CentOS) is deprecated. For normal users,
      you should use /7/ and not /7.2.1511/ in your path. Please see this FAQ
      concerning the CentOS release scheme:

      https://wiki.centos.org/FAQ/General

      If you know what you are doing, and absolutely want to remain at the 7.2.1511
      level, go to http://vault.centos.org/ for packages.

      Please keep in mind that 7.2.1511 no longer gets any updates, nor
      any security fix’s.

      Sorry but we don’t have enough people to work on FOG for it to support officially deprecated OS versions.

      @chris_unit said in move to Fog Pxe menu:

      Is the directory /images/ shared out over http ?

      No its not the docbase for http on ubuntu is /var/www/ I believe. So your os/ubuntu/Desk... path should start form there.

      I would also confirm with a browser that you can reference the url to get the iso. That will tell you its working before you attempt to pxe boot.

      @sebastian-roth I wanted to try and keep our exisitng pxeboot menu with an option in that menu to load the fog pxe menu.

      i’ve reaslied that would limit so many features of automation that it would make more sense to just add any menu items we already have from our exiting pxe menu and add them to the fog one.
