[Casper] Partitioning Macintosh HD during Imaging

[Thomas Larkin]

The weird thing is guys and gals, is that I also have a simple one liner pre image script that uses diskutil to create a single partition on disk0 and name it Macintosh HD, just in case the users changed the volume name. 

That script works, I used the same code in this script and it doesn't work while imaging, but if you run it manually, no problem works like a champ.  Casper version 6.01

I saw this strange problem, too.  Check what the disk# is when netbooted vs. firewire.  when I netboot the it is disk0 and with firewire it is disk1
check using "diskutil list" in Terminal

[Casper] Partitioning Macintosh HD during Imaging 











We are setting up images and netbooting across our network.  We have the image part down no problem.
We are wanting to split up the HD into a OS partition and a data partition.

For some reason the script we are using errors out during the imaging process, however, when
we run it thru target mode to a machine it works perfectly.  We are imaging eMacs to 10.4.11.

The error from the jss log is as follows:

Result of running split_part.sh was: Partitioning encountered error Could not unmount disk (-10000) on disk disk0

The scripts is as follows:

#!/bin/sh

#create two partitions, one data and one for the OS

/usr/sbin/diskutil partitionDisk disk0 2 HFS+ 'Macintosh HD' 50G HFS+ data 23G

echo 'done'

any ideas?

Thanks in advanced....
