I performed another update today to keep up with the releases but, it seems that every time an update is performed my storage access is gone. Last time the permissions were changed and they had to be reset. Now I am unable to access the storage page at all and yes the password remained the same under Settings configuration. Today after updating storage access has been lost again and the same error requesting an image to be uploaded before a deployment is set came back.

If these error is not fixed then, wouldn’t be better to stop doing updates until all the bugs are being worked out?

Any help appreciated.

I agree.

Thanks.

@Tom-Elliott

First I want to thank you for your assist. The last tip fix the last issue I was having with the imaging.
It was a GPT table left over, wire, as that machine had EUFI disable. Now I am working good again on those images. I just have one left but I think it is Windows 8.1 issue and not FOG.

Thanks again.

When running fixparts it ask for the name of the file, which name would that be?

@Tom-Elliott
When asking for a file name, which file name is to be provided? There are about four possible file names:
There are three files in the directory
The name given to the image in FOG Web GUI.

Thanks in advance.

@Tom-Elliott
Thanks, finally found it.

@Wayne-Workman
Files permissions are inherited from the folders unless manually modified. As Tom recommended earlier using the chmod -R which the -R is for recursive with indicates all folders, subfolders and files.

@Wayne-Workman
In my post https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/4997/multiple-problems-with-fog-after-upgrade/10?page=2 it is described the permission in UNIX/Linux and how they are calculated.

The more I try to use the images the more I discover issues with FOG, now I am getting that the MBR is corrupted and the cannot be downloaded.One of the systems is getting stock at
Using Hard Disk: /dev/sda
and does not continue to the next step until I pressed enter then I get:
Saving Partition Table (GPT)…Invalid Partition DATA!

This happens during upload of a new image. I have deleted the old image and created a new one and still having issues.

I don’t see a way to upload a file here. In the old site it was easy to see the u
pload but in this new site I am still looking for the upload button to upload either riles or images.

How ever the current permission is sett 777 as under fog and group root to /images. I am not sure what would be the other way.

@ch3i
No biggie. I totally understand.
It is below, scroll down until you see big bold letters for tftpboot directory.
The posts have not number so, it is hard to said exactly where.

@Wayne-Workman
Can you please clarify couple of point on this Wiki? Where is the directory being created? Where is the test.txt file located? is this in the server or in the client? Is this a SSH session to the server?
Currently I am getting an error but I am not sure if it is because I haven’t created the test.txt file.
The error is:
cp: cannot stat '/images/test.txt: no such file or directory

@Wayne-Workman
Scratch the above, I was blind and lazy not to ready the whole article. I missed one point.
I was able to copy the text.txt file from /images to /images/dev/ through the client.
Anything else you would like me to try?

@ch3i
I already did a ls -ltr which display all the folders and subfolders under /images.
You are requesting another listing of the directories in a listing format. Which would be almost the same as the one I already provided.

@ch3i
Looking at the image info, I got:
"Deploy Method

Partclone"

I am thinking the image should be ok as it is created with Partclone as well. After looking a several of my images, there are all created with Partclone imaging software.

How do I fix the issue?

@ch3i
You meant the imaging software, got you!!!
If there is a way to view a FOG log I can confirm or deny your answer, otherwise I will have to take your word for. My major concern is how to fix it if there is a way.

@ch3i
I am not sure what are you asking me. The only FOG I have used is 1.2.0. I am not sure if the image was created with partimage. I can tell you for sure that some images work some other don’t.

@Wayne

Please in light me. I have checked all the permissions.

Hi there to all of you FOGGERS.
I am now having issues randomly with some other images.
I am getting and error:
" An error has been detected!
Image failed to restored
Computer will reboot in 1 minute"

The error is after Partclone try to access the image.

Partclone v0.2.78 http://partclone.org
Starting to resotre image (-) to device (/dev/sda1)
device (/dev/sda1) is mounted at
error exit

To save some time I have checked the password in the storage and also the TFTP sever and they are all good, I have also reset the password for fog user to the same as the one for the storage and the TFTP, plus check all the permissions on the file system set to 777 and still no go.

I have been having problems sine the fist update I did to the server.
Is there a way to just keep the images, destroy the server and reinstall FOG back to the original configuration in 1.2.0 without any of the updates. The last schema change in MySQL was the one giving me the issue since then I haven’t been able to get FOG were it was.

Thanks for all you help.

@Jbob
Thank you for the assist!!

@Tom:
Yes, I am not sure if this is related to the first issue or possible a left over but I am looking into it.

@Thiago:
Thank you for the article. After reading it I am actually wondering if they are actually trying to teach me how to shutdown windows. If that is the case, well, with my background in IT I think I have an idea how to do it. However, they referring to a logged on user and not a sysprep session that it is what I was using. Once the sysprep runs the system will reboot automatically in order to set the box back to “Out of the Box Experience”.

@Tom
No at all, you are not being rude. Understood what you are pointing out. You are thinking it is permission issue. That would be true is all the images were giving me the same error given the -R is recursive in the directory and subdirectories all the way to the files. The UNIX/Linux permission files are divided on three sections:

Current user	Groups	Everyone else
----------------------	----------------	-------------------------
r - w - x	r - w - x	r - w - x
----------------------	----------------	-------------------------
4 2 1	4 2 1	4 2 1
----------------------	----------------	-------------------------

By adding the bits values you will get the 777 for chmod. However, I don’t want every one to have access to this folder. That is the same permission that I have in all other files. More to the point, this is the only file giving issues. I have user fog group/user as the owner of /images which will give full access to the file system in the directory.

I believe I put the error message on the original post:
======================START===========================
"Failed to create deployment tasking for the following hosts

You must first upload an image to create a download task"
========================END===========================

There/ is very hard to take a picture as it scroll fairly fast on the screen right before Partclone starts to push the image.

Thank you for you assistance.

Here is another error I am getting:

ntfsclone-ng: NTFS Volume ‘/dev/sda2/’ is schedule for a check or it was shutdown uncleanly. Please boot Windows or fix it by fsck.

I have run fsck and file checker integrity and reboot it multiple time and still same results.
No sure it is FOG or it is Windows…

Thank you for your assist.
