Here is a video of the debug task up to right after the resize I have broken out of the script here and if anyone has a suggestion of any commands to try I can execute them and post the result.

No this is not a virtualized server it is running on ubuntu 12.04 btw.

All images do this I have rechecked the settings on the images, I have run a debug task and no errors appear during the re-size, I have removed the storage node to see if that was causing anything, upgraded to SVN 3314 this morning, and run a debug task still the same issue.

Ran the troubleshooting script here is the results.

As per SVN just download the latest trunk and rerun the installer.

No all images are partclone and set as realizable type.

Updated to SVN 3293 on Ubuntu 12.04, it seems as if your images deploy fine but fail to resize to fill the drive after imaging. Any suggestions where to look.

Does this only happen on one machine or several of the same model?

Is there anywhere in fog that shows if a storage node is fully synced up to the master.

Could we have the default web page for a fog storage node at least show the version running and possibly a link to the control node management page?

Under fog general settings up the fog memory limit I had to go to 1024.

I think this was addressed in a later SVN.

If I can find one not in production I will give it a shot on my test network.

I was under the impression that to run UEFI as netboot I would need my dhcp server to be server 2013 or higher which I don’t have in my current environment.

Seems like its just not the right tool for the job the main difficulty’s that come to mind is where will images be if you use an external drive how to insure it mounts correctly each time you switch hardware and usb port you would be restricted to quick image no way to maintain a database on read only media. and for a one time image there are already solid tools that don’t require a second machine to act as a server like the aforementioned clonezilla. Not to say that a more simplified install and setup might not make sense to develop. More like a fog for dummies that would have you boot off a cd or removable media image and is preconfigured for dhcp ect using the first available hard drive for images and data. sort of a lowest common denominator fog and os combo to minimize possible issues for the end user.

All working systems UEFI disabled single partition realizable.
Fog 1.3.0 SVN 3263 all systems using the base NIC on the motherboard, and default kernel.

[B][FONT=Tahoma]INSTALLING FOG SOFTWARE:[/FONT][/B][FONT=Tahoma]

The installation of FOG is fairly straightforward, once installed the bulk of configuration is handled from the Web GUI through your browser. There are a couple of further tweaks that can be done from the system side but they are optional depending on your environment.

11. Enter the following at your Ubuntu command line.
    • cd /opt
    • sudo wget [/FONT][URL=‘https://sourceforge.net/projects/freeghost/files/latest/download?source=’][FONT=Tahoma]https://sourceforge.net/projects/freeghost/files/latest/download?source=[/FONT][/URL][FONT=Tahoma]
    • sudo tar –xvzf fog_1.20.tar.gz
    • cd fog_1.2.0/
    • cd bin
    • sudo ./installfog.sh
12. Follow the steps in the FOG installer wizard
    • Choose Option 2 (Ubuntu)
    • Choose N (normal)
    • Press enter to leave IP address default
    • Press enter to leave gateway default
    • Press enter to leave DNS default
    • Choose NO when asked to change default NIC
    • If you already have DHCP configured, press NO to disable FOG DHCP
    • Press Enter to acknowledge MySQL warning
    • Set a password for MySQL when requested if you want (I left mine blank)
    • Be awesome and send a notification to the FOG community!
13. FOG is now installed, we just want to check some of the MySQL settings real quick. wizard (skip this step if you left the password blank)
    • sudo vi /var/www/fog/lib/fog/Config.class.php
    • Set MYSQL_PASSWORD to the password you configured in the FOG
    • Confirm MYSQL_USERNAME is set to root account
    • sudo vi /var/www/fog/lib/fog/Config.class.php
    • Set MYSQL_PASSWORD to the password configured in the FOG wizard
14. Congrats! FOG is fully installed!! [/FONT]
