@Sebastian-Roth hello
I have the same problem today with dell optiplex 760 worstation
Partclone says :
Target partition size (xxx MB) is smaller than source xxx MB.
Use option -C to disable size checking (Dangerous)
And just after
Image failed to restore and exited with exit code 0 (writeImage)
May be same problem ?
@Tom-Elliott hello
i just made the following test with latest version : 6476 / 4895
just create deploy task
same problem
After upgrade, Do i have to put on my own tftp server the new ipxe.krn file ?
@Tom-Elliott
no
do i have to capture again or just deploy ?
@Tom-Elliott Hello

At reboot, the station stay displaying “Booting…”
Then i try to deploy the image
During the restauration of /dev/sda1, i’ve got the following error message from partclone
Target partition size (132MB) is smaller than source 132 MB.
Use option -C to disable size checking (Dangerous)
And just after
Image failed to restore and exited with exit code 0 (writeImage)
Args passed /images/test/d1p1 img* /dev/sda1
Then the only solution is to redeploy the old ghost image 
@Sebastian-Roth
i have to capture again before deploy ?
Just to be clearer, here is my configuration :
On my own pxe server(dhcp and tftp) 192.168.151.247
dhcp is configured like that :
next-server 192.168.151.247;
filename "pxelinux.0";
then on my tftp server i’ve got pxelinux.0 into the tftp root directory
and
this configuration
LABEL FOG_ETUDIANTS
KERNEL fog/ipxe.krn dhcp && chain http://192.168.39.243/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=${net0/mac}
192.168.39.243 is the fog ip address
Do i have to put on my tftp server the new ipxe.krn file ?
@Tom-Elliott Hello
does that mean that with the latest version it will work ?
Do you want i try ?
Thanks for your help
@Tom-Elliott
Hello
i just made a test today with an other station
Dell Optiplex 760 with again 3 partitions
Here is the image definition :
default: Windows 2000/XP
Single Disk - Resizable
Everything
The capture seems to works fine and i can see in the “images” directory :
ls -al /home/images/Optiplex760780/
total 8355044
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 févr. 23 10:09 .

-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 févr. 23 09:49 d1.original.fstypes
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 févr. 23 09:44 d1.original.swapuuids

-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 249 févr. 23 09:44 d1.partitions
But when i try to deploy this image on the same station i’ve got again this error message at the beginning :
“This is not a partclone image”
Now the station is “dead” and cant boot “Error loading operating system”
It’s a real problem because we have a lot of this kind of station

I made a test : Multicast and unicast 12 stations
**Multicast **=> 04h 40min
**Unicast ** => 28min
@Wayne-Workman Hello
just for information :
On my switch i configure (force) the igmp version to “3”, may be i should use the default version : “2” ?
An other question : i thought that fog used “udpcast” for multicasting, is it true ?

@plegrand said:
It’s not our dns servers
You don’t have to use them. You can make your own and direct all hosts to use yours.
I install dynamique DNS with bind and it works fine. Thanks again
@Wayne-Workman said:
@plegrand You can configure DHCP to update DNS as it gives out leases.
It’s not our dns servers
And if you saw fog stuff elsewhere - I can’t vouch for those other sources, they might be legit, might not be. They are highly likely to have been written for 1.2.0 or even earlier. The code base has gone through dramatic changes (for the better). Any instructions you find elsewhere might not even directly apply anymore. I’d recommend asking the @Developers for suggestions on how to do it.
OK
you mean if i add on this thread “@Developers”, they will see my post and may be answer ?
Anyway thanks a lot for your help and the time spended.
Fog is a very great application (not like my english !!)
As you can see it’s not very important question
Thanks again
I’ll make some tests for multicast (other thread), it’s more important for me
@Wayne-Workman
no we use our own dhcp server (dynamic)
But i saw on the net it was possible to use netbios name with wins for fog ping. But i cant make it works
@Wayne-Workman
Hmm sorry , we’ve got a dns to use internet, but all the station are not into this dns then i imagine that fog cant ping those stations
@Wayne-Workman
But if i want to come back to an older version and i only know the “cloud version” ?
@Wayne-Workman
And for the first question ?
My problem is on the Hosts management page
all my host have a red circle with exclamation point and this error message :
“no such device or address”. What does that mean ?
I think it’s because fog cant ping my hosts because there is no dns on my network. Is there an other way to make it works?
I made some tests with wins (samba, winbind…) without success
@Wayne-Workman said:
SVN numbers would also be important if you wanted to install a specific revision.
It’s for this reason i would like to know what is the svn version for a “cloud version”
@Wayne-Workman
Then is it an error on the wiki when it says Single Partition ?
and about my 2 others questions ?
thanks again
Now, just to see if multicast is the issue, can you multicast to just two computers? Make a temp group, put two computers in it, and then use that group to multicast. Is there a speed difference?
I’ll make the test
Also - the switch is important when multicasting.
It 's Alcatel switch OS6250 and OS6450 configured like that : http://plegrand1.free.fr/pasted_image001.png
I’m not sure if the configuration is ok
Thanks for your help
Hello
i’ve got some questions:
I havent dns on my network then is there a way to see if hosts are down or up by ip adress or netbios name ?
Is there a way to know what is the correspondence between version in the cloud and svn version ?
I saw on the wiki that there is 4 images types :
Single Partition
Multiple Partition - Single Disk
Multiple Partition - All Disks
Raw Image
On the web frontend
Single Disk - Resizable - (1)
Multiple Partition Image - Single Disk (Not Resizable) - (2)
Multiple Partition Image - All Disks (Not Resizable) - (3)
Raw Image (Sector By Sector, DD, Slow) - (4)
As you can see the first option is different.
What is the good one
Is it single disk or single partition ?
Thanks for anwser
