[Casper] Erasing the Hard Drive During Imaging while Netbooted

[Thomas Larkin]

Almost sounds like a permissions problem when your network share that
the image is stored on.  Are you running any preflight scripts?

During the Imaging process with Casper, we could not “Erase Macintosh
HD”, even though we checked the box to do so. The process went
extremely fast and no image was copied to the Target drive. Running Disk
Utility would not unmount the drive and allow us to repair it.
Eventually we had to manually moving the contents of the hard drive (by
double clicking on the hard drive, selecting all the folders) to the
trash and emptying the trash.

Anyone ever run into a scenario like this? Sounded like a damaged disk
directory, but the Target computer would reboot and function normally if
we did not image it.
