i am attempting to capture a windows 8 client prepared using the directions found here - http://drbl.org/drbl-sanboot/
everything went smoothly until it was time to capture the image.
"drbl-aoe-img-dump /dev/sda winaoe" command gives me the following (logged in as root)
(standard_in) 1: syntax error
bs is nothing!
i get the same error if i execute "drbl-aoe-img-dump junk junk" so i don't think it is taking the args correctly.
using ubuntu 12.04, all updates installed, server and workstation running in vmware player 5.
are there logs? anything to give me a hint of what is happening?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
so, i figured this one out, i think it's either because i'm running in a vmware player or an update to fdisk itself, but the drbl-aoe-img-dump is not parsing the fdisk output properly to get the cylinder size... i created the img file manually and was able to start the aoe service without error.
unfortunately now i receive a tftp timeout error when loading the image. hopefully i'll figure that out this weekend.

"now i receive a tftp timeout error " -> Check your system log on the server, you should be able to find some clues.
Or make sure the vmware network settings are OK. Please remember on the host machine, the virtual network card should be seen when running "ifconfig -a", and it's should be configured.
Besides, make sure your VMWare does not provide DHCP service to your client. For DRBL, the DHCP service from DRBL is the one you need, not the one on from VMWare.
