Hi,

why isn’t the project driving your recommendations? grrr 😉
i really want to have fog this time running well i tried a first run with 0.32 and was working hard on it but in the end it was useless for our business. This will be the second run i want fog so hardly for a nice automated backup of workstations.

Regards X23

No, there is a “funny” bug once in a while I’m aware of, but don’t remember exactly when I fixed it. It should be fine in SVN though.

You can download from SVN with:
[code]svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/freeghost/code/trunk fog_0.33b[/code] then cd to the fog_0.33b folder and perform normal install or you can download a pre-made tarball at latest revision with:
[url]https://mastacontrola.com/fog_0.33b.tar.bz2[/url]

Extract the tarball with:
[code]tar -xjf fog_0.33b.tar.bz2[/code]

Then cd into the fog_0.33b folder and perform normal install from there.

Hi,

you mean the function was switched off not removed, it’s still there in the webif and service client but without any function?!
Am i right if i say the host registration is depricated?

Will the leftover be removed in 0.33?
Can someone tell me why this function has been deactivated?

Thank you nice idea, will try this 🙂

There is no mass upload built into FOG. It’s meant more for a mass deploy. That being said, it’s open source and can be modified to do whatever you want. Sorry.

Hi,

no, but that works until you have working nfs and ftp running.
It’s time to cut additional storage nodes out of fog binding.

I think it’s wrong to force people to install fog on each storage node.
The most problem is that people or companys have a big storage system but we cannot install a linux on it to make fog running.

One of the big goal is indipendent storage nodes for fog!

if you are going to create a master image, you should probably go into the custom disk configuration in windows and choose to make the partition smaller than max disk size.

For example, I’m creating the master image for Windows 7 Pro on a new workstation that has a 1TB HDD, but I may need to deploy it to a bunch of workstations that have between 160GB and 1TB HDD. During the windows setup, choose the advanced options for disk setup, and make the window partition 80GB to 160GB depending on your needs. Leave the rest of the 1TB HDD unpartitioned (other than the special Win7 partition that it makes automatically).

If you do this, then you won’t have a problem choosing the Multiple Partition - Single Disk image type option in FOG and deploying to a variety of disks.

Another option, is to use GPARTED on a USB bootable flash drive, and reducing the size of the windows partition down before you take the master image. GPARTED should let you shrink the partition down without corrupting windows. Make sure to leave enough free space for Windows to operate, which I think is about 10% (so if you used 30GB for the install, don’t shrink below 33GB).

Hi,

i found something more:

[INDENT=1]Code: [URL=‘http://www.partimage.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=950#’]Select all[/URL][/INDENT]

[INDENT=1] [/INDENT]
[INDENT=1]where 3774771 is the number of 1K blocks. You can use “fdisk -l” on the original system to obtain the exact amount. However, I suppose you can obtain the rounded amount from partimage imginfo command and use an overestimated value;[/INDENT]
[INDENT=1] [/INDENT]
[INDENT=1]2. associate this image with a loopback device, e.g.[/INDENT]

[INDENT=1]losetup /dev/loop0 image[/INDENT]
[INDENT=1] [/INDENT]
[INDENT=1]where loop0 has to be replaced with a higher numbered device (loop1, loop2, etc.) if loop0 is already in use (you can also use the -f option to use the next one available);[/INDENT]
[INDENT=1] [/INDENT]
[INDENT=1]3. create a mount point, e.g.[/INDENT]
[INDENT=1]Code: [URL=‘http://www.partimage.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=950#’]Select all[/URL][/INDENT]
[INDENT=1]mkdir mnt[/INDENT]
[INDENT=1] [/INDENT]
[INDENT=1] [/INDENT]
[INDENT=1]4. mount the image from the loopback device, e.g.[/INDENT]
[INDENT=1]Code: [URL=‘http://www.partimage.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=950#’]Select all[/URL][/INDENT]
[INDENT=1]mount -o ro /dev/loop0 mnt[/INDENT]
[INDENT=1] [/INDENT]
[INDENT=1] [/INDENT]
[INDENT=1]5. and that is! You can now browse the files in the mnt directory.[/INDENT]
[INDENT=1] [/INDENT]
[INDENT=1]Note that steps 2-4 have to be done as superuser (root).[/INDENT]

Hello Yoda

I think there is one step missing, because:

create an empty file connect it to a loop device create mountpoint mount loop device/file to the mountpoint
-> 5) you see an empty filesystem 😉

So between 2) and 4) one has to restore the partimage image to this filesystem… right?[/QUOTE]

Can someone tell if these steps are correct and working?

and the Award goes to Kevin 😉 thx man

Make sure FTP works on your nodes, and check credentails for those nodes inside storage management.

https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Troubleshoot_FTP

There is also credentials inside FOG Config -> FOG Settings -> FOG Storage Node -> Mysql credentails.

Hi,

after reading and more reading into the wiki and kb i found the solution. It was a missunderstanding of how FOG is working.
I didnt knew that there can be only one local storage node on each fog server! stupid me 😉

Hi,

i could manage my problem.

Two NFS shares on the Windows NFS Server:
[QUOTE]- /images pointing to E:\images (for the mount on the fog machine (unbuntu)

/dev pointing to E:\images\dev (for the mount for the pxe client)[/QUOTE]
The FTP Server running on the Windows machine:
[QUOTE]- user same as configured under the storage node root directory is E:\images[/QUOTE]
E: looks like:
[QUOTE]E:\images
E:\images.mntcheck
E:\images\dev
E:\images-mntcheck[/QUOTE]
Everything is running fine now 😉

The need of a FTP Server only for moving files is more then a face palm, but i will take a look at the scripts. Maybe iam good enough to fix that for myself and the rest.
