So @george1421 it’s OK to create /images/backup

Or no as my fog web ui images dir is /images

i did a rm -rf test, now when i look on the dashboard it has now got the right size

hi all,

im going to save all my backup configs to “/images” dir as my images dir is raid6 so its pretty safe as its 2 parity

is it ok to make a new dir in the images dir or is this a bad ideas as its really meant just for fog images

thanks,
rob

thanks @Tom-Elliott is it ok to ssh in and do a rm -rf on the test dir?

hi all,

when i delete an image from the web gui, when i ssh into my server and do a

ls /images

i still see it there so it doesnt look like when you delete it from the web gui images, it doesnt delete it on the server

i can do a

rm -rf /images/test

can anyone please tell me why this happens?

thanks,
rob

hi all,

if i use the fog backup script in link below

https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Backing_up_FOG

does it backup all the dirs below or do i manually need to back them up

Original Installation Tar File
does it mean backing up the folder that git pulled via the “git clone” command

Web Directory
i take it, it means /var/www/html/fog

OPT Directory

Images Directory
i have raided this, so i persume if my pc fails i can take out the drives pop them in a new pc and in “fstab” just mount it to dir “/images”, do i then need to re run the install shell script again

MySQL Database

thanks @george1421

btw, i found this, you can sysprep win10 up to 1001 times before recreating your image

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/sysprep--generalize--a-windows-installation

ok job done.

just renamed the images dir to something else, made a new images dir, in fstab mounted the raid6 in the images dir and re ran the setup shell script

i did a capture and a deploy and all is now good

thank you all for your help!!!

ohhh, so once i mount my raid in images, your thinking re run the setup again and it will put all the files folders in images?

so you mean in /etc/fstab do this @Sebastian-Roth

/dev/md6 /mnt/raid6 ext4 defaults 0 0

do

/dev/md6 /images ext4 defaults 0 0

@Sebastian-Roth do you mean a soft link

ln -s /images /mnt/raid6/images

but only thing is my images dir is only 50g but my mnt raid6 images is 3.4tb

if i change any values in registry and then do a sysprep with oobe and generalize will the oobe part get rid of the changes and make it back to default settings

is there a limit how many times i can deploy this image with a sysprep, as i heard it can only be done 8 times?

Thanks @george1421 that’s what I thought, always sysprep even if it’s a golden image for installing on different hardware

Can I make an unattended answer file if I havnt got a windows volume license?

Hi all,

If your installing a vanilla golden image of Windows 10 ie literally just installing it on a pc then capturing it, not even doing a sysprep, is this advisable

But I thought you need to do a sysprep of it so you can deploy it to other pcs ie sysprep /oobe /generalize

Thanks,
Rob

Solved lol

I did a

Mkdir /mnt/raid6/images

Rsync -a /images /mnt/raid6/images

Obviously I put it in etc/exports

Just copy and pasted the images lines

hi all,

trying to capture an image and i see the partclone coming up and capturing the disks and it says its captured it succesfully as when i go on the fog web gui, i see the image size but then all of a sudden i get the below pic come up on the pc

thanks,
rob

sorted it out, i had to enable port fast on the cisco switch for the port(s)

the reason it took ages to get a dhcp address is because when port fast is disbaled it takes 30 seconds for it to give it a lease address

hi all,

so im about to register my host but im getting the below error -

so it finds my fog server i think, im guessing my NIC is not supported?

i have added scope options 66 and 67

66 - ip of fog server
67 - undionly.kpxe

thanks,
rob

thanks guys!!!

so for normal cloning i can use “single disk resizable”?

but for this server its “multiple partition image single disk not resizable”
