Imaging errors

HI

So ive been using DS for a year now and well things aren't working like the used to.

When i try to create a master of a volume, i can not put it directly into the network repository, i dont know why b/c im not getting any repository error and i can see the other images i have. ill go to create the master and it will error out like 30sec into the process. 

When ever i make an image it always wants me to store the image on the mac that the image is being made of, which frustrates me b/c i would love for them to go on the external HD I have. 

Today i imaged a mac with an image i made a year ago and now it will not stop rebooting, i dont know if thats a issue with the actual mac or with DS cuz i know my image is good b/c i used it to do all my labs last year.

my repository is nfs://server/DS as far as i can tell its fully shared.

As you can tell im kinda frustrated at the moment and if anyone could assist me with my issue that would be great.

Thanks

Re: Imaging errors

Please try last nightly, we've improved the temp drive selection algorithm.
It should give priority to the biggest writable volume located on a different device (as long as there's enough space to store all the temporary files).

Re: Imaging errors

Ok so i tried that, but im still getting non stop reboots from any MAC i image. i found a work around but its lame.

so ill image a mac, the ill put in the os x install cd and install the os in archived mode, it fixes the rebooting problem but its not much of a fix, i have to go to each MAC in my two labs, 60+ computers. also i have to reinstall all my printers too. 

lol man i should have just kept the DS v5 i was using a year ago, non of these problems.
