Bundle Preboot Image (Add-on Image) - How to?
Hi, I'm trying to figure out if something is possible! I would like to create an add-on image that would only copy some files and folders on some workstations already up and running Windows 7 Ent. SP1. Here's what I tried so far.
1- I created an add-on image using ZMG Explorer
2- I uploaded the add-on image in /var/opt/novell/zenworks/content-repo/images/addon-image
3- I created a new preboot bundle that use my addon image I just created
4- I then add under the tab Relationships a test computer to push my addon image on
5- Finally, I boot my test computer in PXE and when my computer check if he has something to do nothing happen
So I sure I like to know what I'm missing here!
Note: I only need to push files/folders. And theses files/folders won't be use to install anything later on with ZENworks.
Thanks in advance for the help!

Problems applying preboot imaging script bundle w/ 11.3.2
Hi all,
Just wondering if its just me with these issues.
I had our preboot imaging script bundle assigned to the Workstation folder within the ZCC, but since the update to 11.3.2 when attempting to apply the imaging script bundle to a device within the ZCC it throws an error saying that no imaging script bundle is assigned to the device. The only way to get around this issue has been for me to assign the preboot imaging script bundle to each device within our zone, not the folders they exist within.
Another issue I've had is if I select more than one device within the ZCC the action option "apply assigned imaging bundle" is greyed out. If I only select one device I am able to use that option again.
Can anyone else confirm if they're experiencing the same issues?
We're running 3x SLES 11 primaries running 11.3.2, all with the imaging role (our imaging script load balances between the three).
I've tried accessing the ZCC with Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome and they all experience the same issue above.

Hello Matt,
we are having the same issues. Did you contact Novell and opened a SR?

Hey Thomas,
We're on an educational licence so, unfortunately, we don't have any SRs to play with. Hopefully Anders has sent the issue trough to Novell.

How do I change the password of an encrypted Sparse Bundle disk image?
I tried to change the password of an encrypted 'Sparse Bundle' disk image but it seems Disk Util doesn't let me choose this type of disk image for the Change Password function (Menu Imgaes->Change Password...)
How am I supposed to change the password? Do I really have to create a new disk image with a new password and copy the old one? (I'm using the 256 bits encryption)There is no error. Just nothing happens. The problem is a little different for the sparse image and the sparse bundle image. When using the menu command Images->Change Password... you get a file dialog where you must point to the image. The sparse image is selectable (not grayed) but when selected nothing else happens. The sparse bundle image is grayed out in the file dialog so you can't even select it.
Something else. When creating a new blank disk image it shows up in the left pane of the Disk Utility app. But after unmounting the images I'm left with Disk1, Disk2 in this list. Re-mounting doesn't change that. It seems rather useless as you can't do anything with them.
All this happens consistently on multiple Mac's, all with 10.5.2 -

How to recover partition (with encrypted sparse bundle disk image) that won't mount?
I have a Late 2013 27" iMac running OS X 10.9.4. I have an external drive that I use for Time Machine backups which also has an encrypted sparse bundle disk image. Yesterday, the drive stopped showing up in Finder, so I went to Disk Utility and tried to mount it. No go. So I tried repairing it, and it said it couldn't. I'm not worried about the Time Machine backup since my iMac is find so I can just make a backup to a new external drive. However, the encrypted sparse bundle disk image has some files in it that I don't have elsewhere. Is there a way to recover these files without sending it in to a drive recovery service (since those would cost a LOT of money)?
No such options. As I mentioned in the post title and in my first post, the partition won't mount.

Time Machine and mounted sparse bundle disk image - file by file backup?
I think I had this system working in Leopard, but upon upgrade to Snow Leopard it seems to have broken. Does anyone have any idea how I can get Time Machine to back up the contents of a mounted sparse bundle disk image in real time - file by file within the disk image? For example, I have a 2GB sparse bundle disk image that i keep all of my bank statements/files/records in. It auto-mounts on boot and stays mounted. I use the disk image to keep it password-protected, so if I unmount it it is fairly safe. In Leopard, I would exclude the .sparseimage file from backup, but it would still backup the mounted image itself on a file-by-file basis, so I could enter Time Machine and explore the image folder by folder, file by file (say I deleted an old bank statement by mistake, I could go into time machine and recover as if it were a normal file/folder).
In Snow Leopard, after a clean install, and creating a new sparse bundle disk image and excluding the .sparsebundle file, I can't seem to get this to work even though the image is mounted. Is there any way to trick Time Machine into backing up the mounted image as it would any other folder? I know I can back up the .sparsebundle file incrementally but in order to recover a lost document I'd have to remount the old bundle and that seems rather roundabout.
Thanks,I think you're trying to bypass the finder to mount the disk. Try this (I'll bold the key steps):
- *Turn off Time Machine* in the System Preferences.
- Option A: If you directly use a hard disk (not wireless) that has the sparsebundle you want to open, *connect the disk* but don't double click on the sparsebundle.
- Option B: If you are using wireless, this means use shift-command-k (or shift-apple-k), and if it says "Connect As..." in the upper right instead of disconnect, then use that button to *connect to that wireless drive*.
- Confirm the sparsebundle shows in that folder before proceeding...
- *Open Terminal* (Applications>Utilities>Terminal.app)
- Type: *hdiutil attach -noverify* (<-- notice a *space " "* must be included after typing this here but *DON'T hit return* yet.)
- *Drag the sparsebundle to the cursor in terminal*, and it should fill in something like /Volumes/HardDrive/COMPUTERNAME.sparsebundle for you. Now you can hit return, and the disk will mount.
- After you are done browsing sparsebundle's mounted image, *eject the mounted disk* like you would any other disk (not the sparsebundle image itself, just the disk icon that appeared if you successfully mounted it).
- Turn *Time Machine back on* in the System Preferences.
Hope this helps. -
Can't get free space after deleting a file-sparse bundle disk image
I have a 150 GB Sparse bundle Disk image with a 256 AES enc. I just deleted about 30 GB worth of tv shows to free up some space but the Disk Image is still the same size with no more free space on the virtual disk either. I know that with Filevault the user has to log out in order to recover free disk space but how does this work with a normal Sparse disk image? Thanks in advance!
-Macguy3000IIRC, sparse images only grow as things are added, but do not shrink. Create a new one, mount the original, transfer your stuff from the original into the new one, and delete the original one.

I've been doing a lot of reading about (and watching tutorials about) sparse disk images and sparse bundle disk images.
Most of what I've read has addressed using sparse disk images as a way to archive and move from Mac to Mac FCPX projects and their associated events. But I have a some questions:
1) Isn't it better to always use a sparse bundle disk image rather than a sparse disk image? I use Carbon Copy Cloner, and it seems like for backup programs that periodically do incremental back ups of changed files, the sparse bundle disk image is a better choice. But is there any downside to using a bundle image? Is it somehow slower?
2) Why not create and edit every project and its event(s) from the start on its own sparse bundle disk image? I know that isn't a good idea with at least some networks, but I don't have a network. The advantage that I can see is that if you make make duplicates of projects to preserve certain versions as backups, and the associated events are all on the same sparse bundle disk image as the project, you can use Finder to move the image around and all of the references between the projects and events will remain the same no matter how many times you move the project.
3) Are there any downsides to using disk images from the start? For instance, would they somehow slow down the editing process?

Can't share sparse bundle disk image
I'm trying to create a sparse bundle disk image in /Users/Shared for sharing between two users on the same computer. No matter what I've tried, the disk always mounts as read only for the non-owner user. I've tried creating the disk image in both accounts, adding the non-owner user with "read & write" permissions, changing all permissions (including everyone) to "read & write," but nothing seems to help. Does anyone have any experience sharing sparse bundle disk images using the shared folder?
ChristopherI realized after reading the replies above (thank you, A.Carlo and KJK555) that I was only applying permissions to the top level of the sparse bundle image and not to the underlying directories and files in the package. This was what was keeping the second user from making changes to the mounted disk image. After digging a little deeper into possible solutions, following is what I decided to do.
First, here are the requirements for my sparse bundle disk image:
1. Full permissions (rwx) for user1 and user2
2. No permissions (---) for everyone else
3. Directories and files created by user1 or user2 need to be fully accessible (rwx) by the other user
In order to block access to the sparse bundle from unwanted users and to allow for inherited permissions for all future directories and files, I took the following steps:
1. Created a new group (group1) with user1 and user2 as members
2. Created a new folder (Example) under /Users/Shared
3. Removed all permissions from the new folder for everyone but user1 (chmod 700 Example)
4. Added an ACL to prevent group everyone from deleting the new folder (chmod +a "group:everyone deny delete" Example)
5 Added an ACL to give group1 full permissions (rwx) to the new folder and allow those permissions to be inherited by new directories and files created within that folder (chmod +a "group:christophertemple allow list,addfile,search,add_subdirectory,delete_child,readattr,writeattr,readextattr,writeex tattr,readsecurity,file_inherit,directoryinherit)
This is what the new folder looks like from Terminal:
$ ls -le
total 0
drwx------+ 4 user1 wheel 136 Sep 18 12:45 Example
0: group:everyone deny delete
1: group:group1 allow list,addfile,search,add_subdirectory,delete_child,readattr,writeattr,readextattr,writeex tattr,readsecurity,file_inherit,directoryinherit
This folder is now accessible only by user1 and user2 and any files or directories created in this folder will be accessible by both users, regardless of which of the two users created them.
Next, I created an encrypted sparse bundle disk image within the new folder. In Terminal, the disk image looks like this:
$ ls -le
total 0
drwxr-xr-x@ 6 user1 wheel 204 Sep 18 13:03 Example.sparsebundle
0: group:group1 inherited allow list,addfile,search,add_subdirectory,delete_child,readattr,writeattr,readextattr,writeex tattr,readsecurity,file_inherit,directoryinherit
As can be seen above, the new sparse bundle has inherited the group permissions from the parent directory, giving user1 and user2 full access to the disk image.
While I could have added a few extra steps and changed the permissions of the mounted disk image, I decided against doing so; the default permissions were perfect for my use. By default, the mounted disk image is set to "Ignore ownership on this volume."
When mounted by user1 this is how the disk image looks in Terminal:
$ ls -le
total 8
drwx------ 7 user1 staff 306 Sep 18 13:01 Example Disk Image
When mounted by user2 this is how the disk image looks in Terminal:
$ ls -le
total 8
drwx------ 7 user2 staff 306 Sep 18 13:01 Example Disk Image
With these permissions, no user, other than the user that mounted the image, has access to the image while the image is mounted. This is useful from a security standpoint, keeping others from viewing the contents of the disk image, as well as from a data integrity standpoint, allowing only one person to access files on the disk image at a time (important for some of the data base files the image contains).
Thanks again to those that responded. I hope this post is helpful to others who might have similar requirements as I did.

Hello,
I've come accross a little issue that I cannot seem to find the solution for.
I don't use TimeMachine but do use FileVault which I have enabled on my account.
Now, my account is stored in the main partition of my harddrive which has roughly 100GB and it is now full! However, I know I don't have that much stuff stored on the laptop and started investigating where all that space was gone.
It seems that my /Users/.paul sparse bundle disk image is around 80GB large!!
However, if I du -kh on my /Users/paul folder, I only get 23GB...
Several questions that someone might know the answer to:
1) Why is there such a big difference
2) how can I administer what's inside of the Sparse bundle disk image?
3) How can I delete stuff from inside it that I don't see anyway in my user folder...
Kind regards,
PaulHi and Welcome to Discussions!
Sparse images automatically adjust their size when needed, but they do not decrease in size automatically when you delete stuff inside. But you can compact the image to the space acutally needed via Terminal. To do so you need to use hdiutil as explained here: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20040625012304236
Have fun!

Can I put Network Users on a sparse bundle disk image?
Hello! Can anyone out there help me figure out what seems to be a rather complicated feat? I'm trying to get users to log in to client iMacs as if they were local accounts, but the user account information is stored on a sparse bundle disk image.
Long story short, I've currently got OS X Server running network user accounts tied to Active Directory. When the users log in, they have a sparse bundle disk image that automatically mounts on their desktop. This has been an effective solution for some of our software that doesn't play well with Network storage, as the sparse bundle is treated like local storage by the Macs.
However, what would be a much better solution for us is to actually have the whole user account stored on the disk image. It's a little like the way FileVault 1 worked, except the disk image is actually stored on a network drive. So far, as a proof-of-concept, I've been able to make this work manually: I've had to log in to a local admin user and then mount the user's sparse bundle with all their user folder contents contained within. Then, once the user path is changed to point to the disk image, the user logs right in, everything works exactly as expected (once I got the permissions set correctly). This method works exactly like a Network User account except that all the applications see it as local storage instead of network storage.
The trick, though, is automating this process. I want a user to sit down in front of any iMac, log in and go straight to their account. It would be nice if OS X Server was able to accommodate this with a setting, but it doesn't. So, my plan so far has been to create a generic local account with a script on the desktop that users can open to login in. The script would then mount the network share, then mount the sparse bundle disk image, then log the user in to their "local" account on the iMac. When they log out, there's a login hook that restarts the machine.
So far, I'm stumbling over the fact that the sparse bundle unmount when logging out of the generic "login" account, preventing the user from logging in. But if I leave the generic account logged in, then the loginhook to restart the computer doesn't work.
Any feedback or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!IIRC, sparse images only grow as things are added, but do not shrink. Create a new one, mount the original, transfer your stuff from the original into the new one, and delete the original one.

My Time Machine backs up to Time Capsule which cannot be encrypted. I also have confidential data in an encrypted sparse bundle disk image in my home folder. When TM backs up and the encrypted sparse bundle disk image is mounted and I'm accessing the data, does TM back up the data "in the clear" decrypted form or does it exclude the disk image because it's mounted? I've done a little research, but there's conflicting information. Not sure what happens in Lion now...
Time Machine does not backup mounted disk images! The encrypted sparse bundle disk image was mounted, I updated a doc and did a TM backup - the file was not listed in the TM repository and the doc remained unchanged in the encrypted sparse bundle disk image on TM. Then I ejected the disk image and did a TM backup - the updated doc was backed up in the encrypted sparse bundle disk image! Thank you!

i have an png file that has images how do i display the seperately?
how do i clip the image to an object and use that object to display on an canvas ?The MIDP API documentation says this of the paint()
method in Canvas class:
Operations on this graphics object after the paint()
call returns are undefined. Thus, the application must
not cache this Graphics object for later use or use by
another thread. It must only be used within the
scope of this method.
The Drawer.paint() operations are NOT executed after the Canvas.paint() but within !
So as long as Drawer.paint() does not start a separate thread (which is not the case here), it NO problem :)
However, you CAN cache the Graphics object, but then you should have some logics like this
if(cachedGfx != currentGfx) {
cachedGfx = currentGfx;
