As I’ve re-edited above, it appears the file system footprint was a result of installing CentOS 7 using the default Partition Scheme LVM and the file system, which happens to be XFS.

Switching the install to use Standard Partitions and the ext4 File system for sda1/2/3 results in a fs footprint on par with Debian at 5.5GB. And by footprint I mean .vhdx file size.

Thought I did … setting it again.

I installed a Linux distro to use all disk space on a 134GB drive.

I’ve tried to capture it as a ‘single disk, resizable’, but FOG refuses with `no resizable partitions found’.

I’m capturing it right now as ‘Multiple partition, single disk, not resizable’.

Is ‘Single disk, resizable’ really ‘Single Disk, Single Partition, resizable’?

Well I have FOG running happily on CentOS 7.1 now.

As much as enjoy Debian 8.2 over Ubuntu 14/15 now, I dare say I may prefer CentOS 7.1 now.

NVM. Something new I gotta watch for with Hyper-V 2012 Generation 1 VM.

Now that I must have both the Legacy and Synthetic NICs active to upload with the kernels above 3.18.5, I must also be sure of the ordering of the MACs in the host definition. Namely, the machine must be registered with FOG with the Legacy Adapter as the Primary MAC.

I am unable to capture an image with build 4742.

register the machine
create image
assign image to machine
create the capture task for machine
machine boots to menu only

Some info from /var/log/apache2/error.log

With the successful separation of FOG’s installer from the kernels when downloading the installer, have you considered separating FOG’s core code installation from the extras?

ie: provide a single package that is FOG, and only what is needed to run FOG. Then provide add-ons in the form of DNS, DHCP, ROUTER etc … ?

See: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753716.aspx

Inclusion of a driver package in a folder referenced by the DevicePath registry entry does not remove any prompts created by the signature on the package. If the package is not signed, or signed by an unknown or untrusted publisher, then the user is still presented with dialog boxes to accept the publisher. Inclusion of the certificate used to sign the driver in the Trusted Publishers certificate store removes this additional prompt. For more information, see the documentation about signing device drivers on the Microsoft Web site

Unsigned drivers are one of my many banes.

I have been looking into neater ways to accomplish the redirect. CentOS 7.1 has a neat one that doesn’t exist on Debian or Ubuntu.

sed -i -e "s|DirectoryIndex index.html|DirectoryIndex /fog/index.php index.html|g" /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

For previous builds on both Debian and Ubuntu, I would do:

mv -u /var/www/html/index.html /var/www/html/index.html.old

Which is just a failover option really … but there is definitely something wrong with what I spotted up there. I’ve recreated the above problems twice on two fresh Debian 8.2 installs and build 4728. I’m re-organizing and re-writing my scripts/steps for server installation then FOG installation; I’ll post them sometime soon.

Your option to:

 vi /var/www/html/index.php
<?php header('Location: http://x.x.x.x/fog/management/index.php'); ?>
die();

… should work yes, but it hard-codes the ip address. I hate hard-coded paths. My job in rc.local could certainly take care of that, but I hate hard-coded paths.

sudburr

All of this makes changing the default behaviour or Apache interesting:

There is no folder /fog at /var/www/html
/var/www/fog is a folder not a symlink
/var/www/html/index.php is incomplete
missing /var/www/html/index.php at /var/www/index.php

Doing my usual " mv -u /var/www/html/index.html /var/www/html/index.html.old " so I don’t need to enter /fog/management or even /fog, just the http://name/ to send me to the login page, doesn’t work because of what I’ve noted above.

To fix I did:

mv /var/www/fog /var/www/html
ln -s /var/www/html/fog /var/www/fog
repaired /var/www/html/index.php
cp /var/www/html/index.php /var/www/index.php

sudburr

By build 4728, it is fixed. Ty!

sudburr

Hehe, I don’t know yet. I just noticed it as different.

One typically wouldn’t expect a double / for a path to work. Once I create a Debian8 and Ubuntu15 install of that build I will test it.

sudburr

In Storage Node Management, Default FTP Path is generating as “//images” .

sudburr

Why did you remove the ability to password protect the MySQL database from the FOG installer?

sudburr

Ah, aye.

Working from home today for kicks, and of course, a couple of minutes turns into a couple of hours.

I keep copies of VMs of the simplest forms of install of Ubuntu15, Debian8 and CentOS7 handy for testing. My development server is a stewing pot of changes. I usually test on my dev, then refer back to the virgins in case something goes pear-shape and to verify my documentation/scripts.

I’ve decided to amalgamate and silo some procedures a bit … so I’m rebuilding my reference virgin OS VMs. I will get back to you asap.

sudburr

That WAS on a fresh install . I’ll get back to ya in a couple.

sudburr

Re-edited my reply above.

sudburr

That it is, ty!

GIT build 4716
SVN 4038 = build 4716
