Good Morning Everyone,
This is an update of where I am at the moment. I have Created a new Net
boot Image. I have installed it from scratch and set up the root account
to auto login and set Casper Imaging to auto start. I have cut out
composer and am using System Imaging Utility to grab the Net boot Image
from the machine. I then host it on a Lion Mac Mini Server. I still plan
on trying to move it over to a 10.6.8 server but for now I am just trying
to get it working. I can get my computer to net boot into the image.
Once into Casper Imaging loads I select my configuration and then it takes
all night to image a machine. I get the error of "Your Mac OS X startup
disk has no more space available for application memory." I have seen
that other users have gotten this error so I went in and modified my
netboot.dmg and it is still giving me this error. I have gone into the
console and can see a tone of fsevensd event errors taking place and the
research I have done shows this is a Spotlight error. So I used "sudo
mdutil -a -i off /" to shut off spotlight indexes. This shuts it off but
when Casper Imaging gets opened and run it creates the shares and other
mount points it needs for imaging. When I run mdutil again it says
indexing is on for these new drives and it gives me a -403 error that it
can not shut off indexing of these new drives. I am stuck at this point.
Does any body know how to kill indexing or spotlight completely or am I
barking up the wrong tree.
Thanks for the help,
