Yes. Well, NTFS and ext partitions, as windows isn’t installed yet.

Single, one disk multiple partitions.

With the latest revision, I am able to backup a multipartition disk, but when I try to restore, it only says “task completed” but nothing is done.

Hi Tom and thank you again

I can confirm that the logical partitions are backed, the problem is in the restore.

When I made a backup of my disk, the backup folder contained:

-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32256 ene 10 13:51 d1.mbr*
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 ene 10 13:51 d1p1.img*
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 1208926132 ene 10 13:54 d1p2.img*
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 ene 10 13:54 d1p3.img*
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 ene 10 13:55 d1p5.img*
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7934933 ene 10 13:55 d1p6.img*

So the partitions 5 and 6 (both logical) were present (5 is swap and 6 is the /home) but when I restored the backup, only partitions 1, 2 and 3 were restored (3 is the extended).

Is there any way to give you more information?

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 20899, member: 7271”]My only guess, as to the issue, is that primary partitions are labeled, generally, as : /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2 etc…

I’m guessing, if you were to perform fdisk -l on a working system at that point, you’d see partitions labeled as:

/dev/sda1
/dev/sda2
/dev/sda2p1
/dev/sda2p2

Or very similar.

FOG doesn’t search for partitions within partitions, it only searches, to my understanding, for primary partitions.

I don’t know how I can try to make logical partitioning work. My question, though, is why couldn’t you make /home a primary partition on the device. Swap as well?

I only ask this because I’ve tested ext4 imaging on my systems at home, with a similar setup:

/dev/sda1 = / partition
/dev/sda2 = swap partition
/dev/sda3 = /home
/dev/sda4 = /tmp[/quote]

Yes, your configuration works for my “test”, I was only testing if logical partitions were working.

I need for example this scheme:
[LIST=1]
[]ntfs Windows 7 (I force to 1 partition install as for default it takes 2 partitions)
[]ext4 / ubuntu
[]ext4 /home ubuntu
[]swap
[]If I would like to make a data partition I can’t because all primary partitions are full
[]If I would like to install another OS I can’t because all primary partitions are full
[/LIST]

Ok, so the error message isn’t the cause for the delay.

Logical volumes seems to be the other problem, I tried today with this setup:
[LIST=1]
[]Primary ext4 --> / of ubuntu 12.04
[]Primary partition --> extended
[LIST=1]
[]Logical ext4 --> /home of ubuntu 12.04
[]Logical swap
[/LIST]
[/LIST]
When I tried to restore, only partitions 1 (primary) and 2 (primary) were restored, the extended partition was empty. I always try to backup and restore full disk, not independent partitions.
Thank you very much.

Hi! I’m on revision 1023 and I have two problems when I’m trying to upload an image:

[LIST=1]
[]This is not really important, I have an annoying message that stays for 4-5 minutes with this information. After that the system continues with the image upload. [IMG]https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-XzXBiI-hhHE/UqjvRCumKuI/AAAAAAAAZIM/X460BXOk748/w929-h697-no/IMG_20131211_183223.jpg[/IMG]
[][S]Sorry, this problem is solved. My fault[/S]
[*]There are still problems with logical partitions and swap?

Thank you,

Well, I thought the error was caused by UEFI but it is the same kernel panic that Albastro has posted.

I’m running the r1010 revision.

Thank you!

First of all, thank you! You’re doing a great job

I want to ask for UEFI support, when I try to register a PC it throws an “unsupported BIOS version” error and later a Kernel Panic.

There are any news about of that?

Thanks!

Joan
