RE: Unable to Capture Using Single Disk - Resizable
@JJ-Fullmer It looks like one of my problems was that I was runnning two network interfaces. One was going to our production network, the other to the fog network. I deleted the production interface and that eliminated the random errors I was getting. I was getting one consistent error during capture “Could not mount images folder (/bin/fog.upload) Args passed: Reason: mount: 192.168.7.184:/images/dev/ on /images failed: No such file or directory”
I had a 125 TB raid for internal storage (images) and a separate system drive for the OS and fog. So I installed the OS and fog on my raid. I can now consistently capture images with no problem. Deploying is the problem now. I’ve attached a pic. If anybody sees anything in the error please feel free to chime in.
BTW I have been using the compatibility feature to ensure the hardware passes muster.
Thanks!

@JJ-Fullmer That is helpful. I’ll run those.

@JJ-Fullmer “boot the host to the pxe menu, and use the check compatibility option”
Hey JJ. what are the steps to do this?

RE: Unable to Capture Using Single Disk - Resizable
@JJ-Fullmer Sorry JJ. I’ve been checking for replies but today is the first I’m seeing this. It was working on an old z840 with 1 TB of storage. I’ve not moved to a Dell Server with 120 TB and I posted an image of the error I’m seeing in my latest update dated 9/16/2024.

RE: Unable to Capture Using Single Disk - Resizable
Moved to a new Alma install. Used the git install. I could not register an Ubuntu 20.04 host. I then diid a clean install of Alma and used the latest tar for FOG. Was able to register a host but could not capture single disk resizable. Posting this pic of the error. Curious if anyone sees anything obvious. Thanks for any input.

RE: Unable to Capture Using Single Disk - Resizable
@Tom-Elliott Hey thanks for getting back. This is the filesystem on the drive. But, oddly, with a new Alma Linux and FOG install I was able to do Single Disk - Resizable. I posted to JJ about my next steps. I’ve got to hit this with a hammer. It’s all I have .

RE: Unable to Capture Using Single Disk - Resizable
@JJ-Fullmer My inexperience with Fog is showing. I’ve been pretty careful but obviously in this particular case not careful enough. Since I last posted I did a clean install of FOG (tar version) on a clean install of Alma Linux. It seemed to work pretty well. Moving to a big (for me) machine using Alma and a clean FOG install. I’ll take a look at the doing the Git install.

RE: Unable to Capture Using Single Disk - Resizable
Sorry getting back so late. I backed out of debian and went with a clean install of Alma Linux. Downloaded the tar file for 1.5.10.1593 and installed that. Still seeing same issue. Here’s a screen capture of the version that I’m on. And it does say that I’m not up to date. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks for your help!

RE: Unable to Capture Using Single Disk - Resizable
@JJ-Fullmer Not really knowing what I’m doing, I went to FOG Confguration, Kernel Update, downloaded, saved my old kernel and installed the new kernel. Doing that downgraded my kernel, oddly enough. But as instructed (thank you FOG) I saved my old kernel and was able to go back to it.
Still getting the same issue where when I create an image Single Disk - Resizable, it will not capture. However when I set the image to Multiple Partition - Single Disk (Not Resizable) it will capture. The problem then is that the image is huge (the entire disk) and it will not deploy.
I think I’m just gonna build a new server from scratch using Ubuntu Server. I’ve had odd little bugs in the past with Rocky. I doubt that that is the problem but who knows?

RE: Unable to Capture Using Single Disk - Resizable
@JJ-Fullmer Hey, thanks for responding. I’m on FOG Version 1.5.10. I’ve attached a screen shot of the image settings. Meanwhile I’ll take a look at updating fog and the kernels.

Unable to Capture Using Single Disk - Resizable
Hello,
I am unable to capture using Single Disk - Resizable. I am able to capture using Multiple Partition Image (Not Resizable), however, I am unable to deploy these images. They fail. I am attempting to capture both Ubuntu and Windows machines. Don’t know if it is relevant but MPI (Not resizable) captures the entire disk.
I am taking this project over from another employee and it appears that he was able to capture using Single Disk - Resizable (which captured only the OS partition not the entire disk). Ubuntu and Windows machines. Those images deploy with no problem. Unfortunately he is no longer here.
Any ideas? My fog server is on Rocky 9.4.
