From FOG Project
Jump to: navigation, search

I am using FOG 0.25 since March 2009, with relative success. We at the Lab have more than 200 PC Computers running Windows XP (2 instances), Minix, Ubuntu Linux and will run also Vista and Solaris 10

Our needs are for Multiple partioning with a lot of partitions, so I will be putting this kind of points on discussion to make FOG a better alternative for these scenario.


- First I want to discuss the use of sfdisk with FOG, to create Multiple Partitions cloning work for extended partitions, as is common practice, and as partimage documentation recommends.

Made some changes to the FOG script and it works, using an extra file d1.tbl to save the dump sfdisk produces and using it afterwards

I started a discussion on 5 march, hope someone reads it.

- Sometimes you need an image for only one or some of the multiple part. scheme, so I have workaround this creating subdirs and manually populating it. If one file is not there, the script just informs and jumps to the next.

- There is also a glitch on the fog php code, when sorting the names of the images, for more than 9 images...the php function to use is the other one, the one that takes numbers on ascii into account.

- Another point i will like to discuss is the Windows service using the proxy settings. Is there a way to tell it not to use the proxy ? Hope is not sinked in the sources....


FOG is great help.
