      @Zourous Would you mind doing the test I suggested (10 times in row to see if USB key is always sdb)?

      I tried it 10 times and it was the same each time. I even tried an 11th time with another stick and it was the same. I’m guessing you could probably replicate this on a similar set-up.

    • RE: FOG server as a peer to peer set-up?

      @george1421 Many thanks that was along the lines that I was thinking but you’ve confirmed my thoughts are correct. I’ll go ahead now and set it up. Thanks again.

    • RE: FOG server as a peer to peer set-up?

      Hi George, thanks it was option 2 that fits what I need the best. Just wanted to know in theory that it works. I only need the internet connection to get fog updated on install really. I also wasn’t sure what static address to use for the Fog server if it’s just the server plus another PC. My home wifi uses a class C address and would hand the server an address to use for the internet access. At the same time the Fog server needs to be a DHCP for the one PC that is going to connect to it. I wasn’t sure if this type of configuration with two DHCP’s in use would cause issues.

    • FOG server as a peer to peer set-up?

      Is this possible? I would like to have the Fog server on one PC and then image another PC. They would just be connected by a single network cable. The Fog server would have internet access through wireless on my home set-up.

      @Zourous Did you notice the fixed init files I posted yesterday? See below.

      Yes, I’ve just tried them. On a debug test it still shows as before when you type in parted -l /dev/sda, but on the upload I can’t see any issues like in the original screenshot I posted. Thanks for all your efforts.

      I noticed this and used a tool to take the extra USB partition away again from the image

      I am not sure I get this. Which tool did you use to “take away” the USB partition? Do you mean you removed the partition from the USB key before actually uploading or after upload finished?

      About the “doesn’t resize”… We need more information on this! Partition layout (d1.partitions from the image directory) and so on.

      I just used a tool outside of Windows to remove the inserted USB partition that had made it’s way onto the main image. By doing this I assume it has messed something up and that the partitions are not recalculated when I try to upload the image again because it seems to not shrink the image to the size of the data before upload or then resize it after deployment. Here is the d1.partitions file

      label: dos
      label-id: 0x86308630
      device: /dev/sda
      unit: sectors
      
      /dev/sda1 : start=        2048, size=     1024000, type=7, bootable
      /dev/sda2 : start=     1026048, size=   249043631, type=7
      

      I noticed there is a d1.fixed_size_partitions file and I tried taking the :2 out of this, but this didn’t solve it.

      I think I found the fix on another thread. I just need to run chkdsk / f and it corrects it for the next upload

    • RE: Error on image upload

      Also I have just noticed a new problem off the back of this problem. The USB stick got uploaded into the image at some point. I noticed this and used a tool to take the extra USB partition away again from the image, but after this the images uploads and shows the size as the full space of the fixed disk and also doesn’t resize to a bigger disk when it is deployed to a bigger disk. I’m not sure how I can correct this issue now.

      @Zourous Did anything change with the newer init? Different line number or slightly different error?

      I will try and test when I have a chance maybe next week

      @Quazz said in Error on image upload:

      @Zourous Try updating to 1.5.6, it should include the newer init files which I believe should not run into this error, but should be tested of course.

      Sorry Quazz, it’s not something I have time for or want to do at the moment. I did test some newer init files that were posted earlier in this thread and I assumed these were the newest ones.
