Hi!
I captured a linux computer (debian 12, ext4).
Unfortunately the power failed during the capture process.
At the beginning of the process the disk was compressed, then the capture started, then the power failed. Now the filesystem has not been uncompressed.
Is there anything I can do ?
(I use FOG since v0.9something and this problem NEVER occured)
Thanks!

Hello Sebastian!
Cloning works again, maybe some sun flares 
Your kernel-params for sercon are working great!
Thanks a lot for your help!
Best regards,
R.
Dear Sebastian!
Wow! Any kind of display at headless machines would be great!
It is an APU-Board.
https://www.pcengines.ch/apu3c4.htm
enabling the sserial console withj kernel params would be cool!
Your guess: single disk multi partitions is correct
Your suggestion lead to this: Everything went fine. In debug-mode the clone was successful.
After the successful cloning in debug-mode
I tried again with non-debug but did not change the moidified ramdisk back, cloning worked
After the successful cloning I re-did with the original ramdisk: cloning worked
I have no idea whats going on.
thx!

@Sebastian-Roth said in Cloning loops forever:
ssh -o “UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null” -o “StrictHostKeyChecking=no” root@
Hi There!
Uh! It took me a while to make a video.
Since i installed 1.5.5 the behaviour changed a bit: now the computer reboots everyx time it wants to get a new clone, but loops anyway.
Where can I put it? Its got 80MB. Maybe i can send it by “wetransfer.com”?
Here is the description:
you can see 3 Windows:
upper left: serial console to the computer that shall be captured
upper rigth: „watch -la /images/dev/00…“
these are the events at specific timestamps:
0:29 computer boots (its headless, only serial console is available to watch it)
1:47: directories+files are created
1:50: clone starts
3:28 reboot
4:54 ftp test
Hi!
My clone (capture) loops forever.
I tried these 3 things - more than once
1st) i checked all passwords, I walked through https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Troubleshoot_FTP
2nd) i installed 1.5.5 over 1.5.0
3rd) i checked all passwords - incl. the linux-user “fog”
What happens:
when clone is finished, it starts from beginning. Computer does NOT(!) reboot, it simply starts to clone again.
the /images/dev/00… looks like:
drwxrwxrwx 2 fog root 96 Nov 20 22:56 .
drwxrwxrwx 4 fog root 4096 Nov 20 22:04 …
-rw-r–r-- 1 root root 0 Nov 20 22:56 d1.has_grub
-rw-r–r-- 1 root root 1048576 Nov 20 22:56 d1.mbr
-rw-r–r-- 1 root root 20 Nov 20 22:56 d1p1.img.000
-rw-r–r-- 1 root root 182 Nov 20 22:56 d1.partitions
Give attention to the d1p1.img.000 entry.
It starts with size 0, then goes to 20, and thats it. it never grows bigger.
i can change whatever permissions what ever i want, no change.
when ist starts over, the MAC-Dir is deleted and newly made with root:root and thats it.
Any help is welcome!
regards
@tom-elliott
I think i will change the FS of the disk, so it will become cloneable.
have a nice day and thanks a lot for your help!
can you mark the thread solved?
@tom-elliott
Hi!
i just saw, that FOG uses partclone 0.2.89 but 0.3.10 is actual.
BTRFS seems to be an issue with partclone.
Is there a way to upgrade partclone to 0.3.10 in a debian installation of fog ?
thx!
@tom-elliott
Okay, clonezille (live) crashed too.
it terminates without any error-message or exit-code.
the only solution I came up at the moment is:
running fog DEBUG and boot into a shell
then mount the fog nfs share
then dd both disks onto that share
so, at least i have a backup
if you have any better idea, you are welcome!
best regards,
Xibeaga
