I was unaware of the lists you mentioned Wayne, where would I find those for future reference?

I am going to chalk this up to hardware issues on the machine in question as it blue screened on me today. Thanks for all of your help guys.

The machine is going to function as my backup mail server. I wanted to take an image of it as a backup. I will check the hardware to see if it makes any difference.

Switched ports with working device, no change.

No and enabling UEFI had no affect

I do not

I am aware of the difference between the two, I don’t believe that is the issue however. Same machine wont download image either, swapped out the HDD still wont download?

Client is a Windows 7 machine, tried an upload from a machine with the same hardware without issue so it does appear to be an issue with the specific machine. Is there a log for me to look at or a way for me to correct the suggestion that this is a GPT error.

Just saw your second post I am going to try uploading with a different machine and downloading as well to see if there are issues with anything else

Little help, how would I go about trying the kernel you suggested?

I updated to SVN 3369 this morning and then tried to upload a new image. The PC boots into fog and looks like it is going to start uploading the image but does nothing after /init.xz… ok
I have tried deleting the task and recreating but the system does the same thing

Is it possible to do this without installing FOG as a storage node on the remote servers? I was hoping to set this up using the Samba shares already in place if possible. I could setup NFS shares as well if that would work. The servers at each location are running FreeBSD so installing FOG on them is not really an option.

Thanks for the replies, I will give this a whirl!

I am very new to FOG having just setup a server to test out a week ago. My question is related to storing images at different sites to avoid imaging across our WAN links? I have samba file servers running at each location and was hoping it would be possible to use those to store images on site. I thought of mounting a share from each location under the images folder but wasn’t sure if that would still cause the images to cross the WAN given how FOG uses FTP to upload the images? I’d like to avoid running a FOG server at each location if possible, the samba servers are running FreeBSD which I’m not sure would run FOG so I would have to install an additional server at each location to run FOG. Any suggestions as to how I could set this up would be greatly appreciated.
