I just upgraded from 0.33 (or 0.32, I forgot) to 1.2.0.

I experienced odd issues with Firefox: from Host Management if I tried to search on a computer, I got an error.
If I clicked all hosts and then a host, I saw the details of the host correctly… great.
However in that individual host XYZ screen if I then clicked ‘Basic Tasks’ (to deploy something) nothing happened… the browser scrolled down a bit but that’s it… no screen change… no Download/Upload things to click.
When I tried Internet explorer it had no such issues.

Turned out that after I clear the browser cache, it all works (again) :).

Now why would that be needed? Are there files shipped in fog 1.2.0 that are older than what I had in 0.32/0.33? And thus the “newer” but actually “older” file is still cached? Or something similar / else?
There must, after all, be some reason for it to hold the cache incorrectly… caching isn’t that dumb.
(Firefox 36, and I did restart several times - for other reasons - so it’s not session related)

I suggest to find the cause and fix it in some way. Not for me… I’m fine now, but for those others that upgrade.

Just a suggestion

EDIT: Ok, nevermind, I should create the task through the webinterface instead of writing the image manually with partimage. That way it works. I’ve no idea why I crashed in debug mode when I ran partimage, but that isn’t important now anymore
Feel free to delete / mark as solved.

** original message below **

Hi,

When I boot fog in debug mode because I want to create a new image[*], and then run partimage it crashes at 0% after hanging for 5-10 seconds:
partimage[xx]: segfault at 0 ip b75ee98a sp bfa67c84 error 6 in libuClibc-0.9.31.so[…]
Segmentation fault

I hope this is a simple issue / oversight on my end. That said, I searched the forum and wiki but didn’t find any others with this problem.

I already tried using another 3.3 kernel (from another forum thread), and compiled my own custom kernel, so tried 3 kernels in total. But this does not resolve the issue. Seems to me that this is unrelated to the kernel.
Also ran memcheck on the box. Nothing.
Also ran all of the above on completely different hardware (first one was 1 month old, second one 4 years), same result.

All other (though, limited) commands work. Including dd if=/dev/zero of=something bs=1M count=1000 over the network NFS mount.

The crash of above happens both when trying to save to a NFS share and just local to /tmp.

This is version 0.32 of fog.

If you are unsure what it is, feel free to give any suggestions as to how I can trace this issue or what else I can try.

[*] there’s no GUI/interface for image creation right? I could have overlooked this, but didn’t find anything in the wiki. It’s okay as we’ve been using a Linux shell for the past 5+ years for this process, I was just slightly surprised.
