OK, let me show you the difference with the following two pictures.
1st made 3 hours before, one that is accurately deploying made with clonezilla and Partclone 2.70:
And one made by FOG and partclone 2.69:
The difference is that the one that deploys correctly is calculated as 37GB by Clonezilla, the other is much smaller.

I created Universal Image Based on the Windows 7 SAD2 topic in the forum, created custom unattended.xml with some tweaks, basicly regional settings, fake serial number and so on. The image upload and download was working properly and resized the partition accurately to the maximum size of the partition, but recently it stopped doing this (the resizing).

I’m using VirtualBox for creating the Master Windows Installation. My virtual disk is 35GB and my windows install is 33GB, so I have 1.9GB free space. I began suspecting that the insufficient disk is the reason of the incorrect resizing.

P.S.: I was making a multipartition Image of the Universal Image with clonezilla, and sometimes I have the same problem. Partclone in Clonezilla shows: “Device Size: 37.5GB” (partclone ver. 2.70), but in fog it shows: “Device Size: 32.7GB” (partclone ver. 2.69).

So to summarize: My VirtualBox virtual disk size is 35GB, When making the image from VirtualBox and it shows Device Size: 37.5GB the resizing works, but when it shows: “Device Size 32.7GB” it does not work. The interesting thing is that it sometimes does it with clonezilla, which I’m booting via fog server with custom PXE boot menu.

I’m deploying my 35GB Universal Windows 7 Image to a machine with blank hard disk and no partitions on It and after the download of the image to the Computer the automated (unattended) process of Windows Install starts and finishes but when I open File Explorer it shows that I have C:\ with 35Gb used and no free space. But when I go to Computer --> Manage --> Disk manage --> it shows that the partition occupies all the hdd’s space --> 750GB.
I recreated 2-3 times my Master Image, deployed it 2-3 times to the computer with no errors or wornings, but the outcome is always the same. Anny suggestions?

P.S.: Using FOG 1.2 on CentOS 6.5

I can confirm that the first error message reported by me has gone now, but still have problems with downloading different kernels from the menu. Maybe It’s smoe kind of permission problem or vsftpd problem. My machine has firewall off and selinux disabled.

One more error in the apache log file which says:
[error] [client 192.168.1.13] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘Exception’ with message ‘FOGFTP: Failed to put file. Remote Path: /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/bzImage001, Local Path: /tmp/bzImage001, Error: ftp_put(): Could not create file.’ in /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/FOGFTP.class.php:88\nStack trace:\n#0 /var/www/html/fog/management/ajax/kernel-fetcher.php(59): FOGFTP->put(‘/var/www/html/f…’, ‘/tmp/bzImage001’, 2)\n#1 {main}\n thrown in /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/FOGFTP.class.php on line 88, referer: [url]http://192.168.1.10/fog/management/index.php?node=about&sub=kernel-update[/url]
This happens when I try to download new kernel.
Also the unofficial kernels are not showing either!

I’m doing nothing, this message popups on the console of my server just after boot and login. I’m using CentOS 6.5 and the latest trunk of fog 0.33b.
[OFF-topic] I saw that a lot of files and locations have changed in this version and I would be thankful to you to point me to a tutorial for 0.33b for adding some software to the boot menu of fog. I basicly want HIREN’s boot cd, clonezila, Ubuntu LiveCD and menu to image the computer by the menu, not using the web interface for scheduling the job.

I get this error: “call to a member function get() on a non-object in /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/MulticastManager.class.php on line 83”

I love this tutorial. Everything works perfect. I made myself a Universal Windows 7 x86 image out of a VirtualBox (ver. 4.2.6) virtual guest in my ArchLinux. I deployed it on some “metal” it takes about 30 minutes – 10 min. for image deploy (12GB) and 20 minutes unattended install and SAD2 drivers installation. One issue with the Video Card driver in the real hardware – “Device manager” says driver error: “Not enough resources”… or something similar, maybe because my video uses just 8MB of RAM (shared memory) and there is no option to increase it in BIOS even with the latest bios flashed. Though Microsoft site says that this error is related to Interrupts been occupied by other device. NOTE: There is a scenario which is very important for me: I want to deploy this image to previously installed and used PCs (some kind of reinstall) and just deploy it on the first partition e.g. drive and leave drive intact, because there are some user’s saved files, mainly office documents, pictures etc. but I don’t know how to do it, the only suggestion that I found was that I had to create multipartition image (single disk) and basically delete from /images/image-name/ directory the not needed partition of the drive. Because my Golden Image is one partition only (and one 100MB for special win7 needs) so it wipes all my D drive of the computer on which the image is deployed. Any suggestions? How can I save the data of my precious drive?

P.S. I’ll try your method and post some results tomorrow or the day after

Is this workaround working? I’m searching all over the internet for the answer and I’m not finding it. My case is as follows: I prepared a Windows 7 Master image with SAD2 tool for installing drivers. Created a multipartition image (single disk) and deployed it on a computer with some hard drive on it with no sensitive information in it – everything is ok, image gets deployed and working fine, just had to manually format the rest of the hard drive which was unallocated. But I really want to image/reinstall computer and leaving its second partition (drive D ) intact.
