Environment

Novell ZENworks for Desktops 4.0.1 - ZfD4.0.1 Imaging
Novell ZENworks for Desktops 4.0.1 - ZfD4.0.1 PreBoot Services (PXE)

Situation

Unable to create a workstation image on a NetWare 5.1 Support Pack 8 NSS volume
File size can not be greater than 4.2GB in size.
If the image size is greater than 4.2GB it will still say the imaging was successful, but the size will still remain 4.2GB.
When restoring the image that was sent to the server it will return a segmentation fault error.

Resolution

The image will need to be less than 4.2GB in size. Use add-on images to push applications down so that the base image size is less than the above mentioned size.
Also, this is a limitation with NetWare 5.1 Support Pack 8 NSS volumes. An upgrade to the server's operating system is needed to be able to write larger image files to the NSS volume.
