@Junkhacker Ok, I was just thinking of ways for quick image to somehow count toward monthly totals. This happens mostly with laptop deployments. I think I just thought of a work around. Registering network dongle as host so every time quick image is used with the network dongle it will count because the dongle is pre registered. The only trouble would be if the dongle is not compatible. But this should work for many instances I believe.

@Junkhacker So there is no way to tally computers set up with quick image. Perhaps a count of mac addresses not already registered?

Hello, I was wondering if machines which were setup using quick image can be shown in the 30 day overview in the dashboard. Many technicians setup machines this way and it does not get counted in the total for the month.

@Trixsta101 Here is my working Clonezilla setup.

:CLONEZILLA
kernel http://${fog-ip}/fog/service/ipxe/clonezilla/vmlinuz
initrd http://${fog-ip}/fog/service/ipxe/clonezilla/initrd.img
imgargs vmlinuz boot=live username=user fetch=http://${fog-ip}/fog/service/ipxe/clonezilla/filesystem.squashfs locale=en_US.UTF-8 keyboard-layouts=NONE
boot || echo failed to boot
prompt
goto MENU```

@Asthea I have it working right now. Thank you everyone for the assistance. I have no idea if the fetch command is even needed. I will test with it out and continue to clean it up. But I am grateful that it is working. Hi-5 all around.

@Uncle-Frank Hey everyone, I exported the ubuntu folder. I was able to mount it from another computer so I know it works. I will try moving it to /images since its already being exported when I get back Monday. Will update my results.

@Uncle-Frank I tried that too. No luck still. I will try this again on Monday when I get back to work. Until then I will continue to research.

@Uncle-Frank

This is what I have now and I get the same result.

@Tom-Elliott When I have vmlinuz.efi out it doesn’t boot at all. I grabbed vmlinuz.efi straight from the disk. I’m still stuck here. If anyone has has luck with PXE booting Ubuntu id appreciate the help.

This got me on the initial track. I’m very close.

Hello,

I have been attempting to boot Ubuntu 14.04 from fog’s PXE server but have been having some difficulties.

:UBUNTU
kernel http://${fog-ip}/fog/service/ipxe/ubuntu/vmlinuz.efi
initrd http://${fog-ip}/fog/service/ipxe/ubuntu/initrd.lz
imgargs vmlinuz.efi boot=casper root=/dev/nfs netboot=nfs nfsroot=${fog-ip}:/var/www/fog/service/ipxe/ubuntu fetch=http://${fog-ip}/fog/service/ipxe/ubuntu/filesystem.squashfs ip=:::::eth0:dhcp
boot || echo failed to boot
prompt
goto MENU  

The closest I get, is this. I’m not sure what I can do but maybe someone can point me in the right direction. Perhaps it is my /etc/exports/ ?

@Wayne-Workman I see. I will try this approach. So will I need to define this setting prior to uploading the image to fog?

@Joseph-Hales If I am not mistaken multicast will image the first hard drive found in the computer and then wait for more computers to join the session? It wont image all the hard drives in one computer?

@Joseph-Hales the way I have set up fog is that, I have a few dedicated fog stations (clients) that I send jobs to. Right now I only do a few at a time. But I would like to know if I can have one machine do many hard drives at the same time, and increase the number of hard drives that are being imaged in one session.

I should probably elaborate. Multiple hard drives at the same time on the same computer.

Do you know if it is possible for fog to image multiple hard drives at the same time?

Thanks for the quick help. I will update.

I am indeed using an older version of the fogservice. Could this be my issue?

I’m sorry I misunderstood. Yes, I have fog service installed on my Windows image. I need to check the version now. I believe I downloaded it from the stable version and now I am using an unstable version.

I am using fog build 3427 from the git repository. Is there something I can add to make the tasks show up?
