@sebastian-roth Hello Sebastian,
for my unterstanding:
When I choose “Advanced menu” in PXE menu, I log in and get back to the menu and see the menu items which has “Advanced Login Required”.
I enable Advanced Menu Login in iPXE General Configuration -> Advanced Menu settings:
now the menu item is displayed:
I login and hit enter, then this happen:
I guess I need to set the “Advanced menu command”? But why is this not out of the box working?
Or did I misunderstood this feature?
@sebastian-roth Hi Sebastian,
thank you!
Well, the 3 partitions are because of the Ubuntu software Raid.
I need the Raid to prevent system halt, because the server is not local monitoring. so no one will check if the HDD goes failed.
I finish my setup and try to capture … as long he copy 1:1 the HDD for the backup its fine
@sebastian-roth said in Capture Ubuntu 20.04 just free diskspace:
@seppim said in Capture Ubuntu 20.04 just free diskspace:
Host Primary Disk: /dev/md126
This might be specific to Intel (software) RAID, but I am not sure. Why do you need to use a complex setup with LVM or RAID?
Well, the LVM I dont need and already deleted.
The Raid I need when a disk get failure (not so unusual)
I finish setuping the Ubuntu Server and try then again to capture.
@sebastian-roth Hi Sebastian,
I made a data backup and install Ubuntu 20.04 new. This time with Ubuntu Software Raid 1 and no LVM.
When I start capture he throws the error: no resizeable disks where found.
I added this to my host:
Host Kernel Arguments: mdraid=true
Host Primary Disk: /dev/md126
This is my system:
cat /proc/mdstat

Are this not resizeable or did I need to change the host settings?
Hello,
the instruction here:
Ubuntu 1910 Desktop
are not longer working, because the link:
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/eoan/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz
is no longer working!
I tried Ubuntu 20.04 … copy from the iso the content:
kernel tftp://${fog-ip}/liveOs/ubuntu/Desk20.04/vmlinuz
initrd tftp://${fog-ip}/liveOs/ubuntu/Desk20.04/initrd
imgargs linux root=/dev/nfs boot=casper netboot=nfs nfsroot=${fog-ip}:/images/liveOs/ubuntu/Desk20.04/ locale=en_US.UTF-8 keyboard-configuration/layoutcode=us quiet splash ip=dhcp rw
boot || goto MENU
but he did not find a live file system:
@sebastian-roth Hi Sebastian,
Or did you just blindly skip through the partition setup when installing Ubuntu.
Yes 
Well, at the end he finished the capture … but seems the image on the fog server ist not really huge. I set compression to 20!
Size 4.5GB on FOG Server
Yes, the boot Partition is much to big. This happen, because:
I change the size of the LVM… but I do this again … Boot Partition I need just 1GB and the rest I added to the LVM.
I deploy now back the image (before 1HDD, now 2HDD in Raid1) and seems the LVM disadvantage ist “just” the time while capture/deploy
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

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!
