Hello,

I capture a physical Ubuntu 20.04 Server.
There is a 1 TB HDD, which are in different Partition´s.

Now I capture the PC and set the compression very high, to save diskspace on the FOG server.

But he show me for /dev/sda3 while capturing:
Device size 566GB
Space in use: 566GB
Free space: 0 Byte

And it takes hours to capture it.

Is it sure, that he just capture just the used space? Because in this partition are just around 10GB used.

This is the logical group and logical volume from Ubuntu 20.04

Maybe someone has in idea whats wrong?

Hello,

I set the “fog.advancedlogin” to “All hosts”

I set an own menu item to “Advanced Options”

When I boot in the menu, I see the Advanced Menu item … he asking for a login.
After login, he switch back to the main menu, which looks exactly same as before.

Where is my mistake? I want display a menu item only after login.

Thank you!

Hello,

I use a own background … this has on Top a image and while the menu is displaying, its fine.

Because the menu has a top margin(?)

but when I start loading a image or ISO, then the screen will be cleared and he begin on top to write.

But this is not good to read, because the background image is behind.

Can I set a top margin for all lines which are printed on the sreen?

Thank you!

@george1421 Hello,

thank you! This is now loading super fast. Just around 10sek.

But:
on my physical laptop he throw an error, there is not enough memory available to create virtual RAM disk.

On my Virtual Box VM, I have first the same error (2.3GB Ram) and increase it to 4.2GB … then he booting the Hirens BootCD.

But the Laptop has 8GB Ram … did you know why I get this error?

My Parameters:

initrd http://${fog-ip}/iso/HBCD_PE_x64.iso
chain memdisk iso raw ||
boot || goto start

Thank you!

@tom-elliott Hello,

how can I get the http path, where I need to copy the ISO to?

I installed FOG on my Ubuntu 18 Server

Hello,

when I load an 1.3GB ISO over pxe it takes very long … around 15min.

But I have a 5GBit Link. A iPerf3 speed test show me to the fog server:

So around 1.12Gbits … way takes to load the ISO over TFTP so long?

Thank you!

@truetus Hello,

I tried also to boot the Hirens BootCD and same problem with bootmgr

Maybe someone has the correct option?

To boot the complete ISO takes a quit longer time, right?

Thank you!

@george1421 Hello,

yes, but not working. I guess because I use the files from the Hiren`s Image?:

He load the 1.3GB boot.wim … and after the error displayed.

I set this in the menu:
set tftp-path tftp://${fog-ip}
set pe-path ${tftp-path}/os/hirens
kernel ${tftp-path}/wimboot gui
imgfetch --name BCD ${pe-path}/BCD BCD
imgfetch --name boot.sdi ${pe-path}/boot.sdi boot.sdi
imgfetch --name boot.wim ${pe-path}/boot.wim boot.wim
boot || goto MENU

Files in folder:

@george1421 Hello,

thank you … I´m booting via Virtualbox … but now it seems the Hiren´s Boot CD is a better choice for rescue systems:
https://www.hirensbootcd.org/

I download the latest ISO and mount it:

I read different posts:

https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Include_any_ISO_in_the_FOG_Bootmenu#Hirens_15.04 (seems it is Ubuntu 15.04)
https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/10944/using-fog-to-pxe-boot-into-your-favorite-installer-images/19?_=1609149532133

But not sure how do.

Maybe you have a instruction for the current Hiren´s Boot CD?

Thank you!
