This is on Casper Imaging 9.65.
After creating a config with a base 10.10.2 DMG (but I also used a custom one made from AutoDMG), a user PKG, and a directory binding, I receive this error (screenshot attached) when attempting to image.
This seems to happen on all my images now.
Interestingly enough, this has been happening on devices that already had 10.10. When I attempt to image devices that have 10.9 or below, it seems they can't mount the volume (attached this message as well).
Is there something wrong with my NetBoot set? Very surprised how this has all fallen apart.
Ok, so an update:
I don't know why everything was working on previous releases until 9.65 then back on 9.7 but I'll take it.
Not identicle but related, we are using a script for Deploy Studio to remove existing partitions.
It works perfectly but for whatever reason if there are existing Core Storage volumes it will fail about 10% of the time. Generally you just try again and it works the second time round fine.
@btaitt Interesting enough, I had issues like this before. If you run a "repair" on the disk before, it would work. In my netboot image, I have created a app that on startup asks if its a "new mac"(meaning having 10.10) on it, if it does, it runs a repair on the disk, then I can proceed to imaging.
Give that a shot and see if that helps.
We are seeing this consistently right now on a large 10.10.3 deployment we are working on.
@bentoms The Netboot Image we have is 10.10.3 and was created with AutoCasperNBI 1.2.
The source OS Image was created with AutoDMG. @chlaird Yes we had the rc.netboot option checked.
We are running Casper 9.72. We recently updated from 9.63 and so far so good. Before we were actually running Casper Imaging 9.65 with the 9.63 JSS as it seemed to do a better job with 10.10.3 but overall 9.72 does seem to be better. The odd thing to all of this is that if we netboot a bunch of machines and start them they will give that "Failed To Delete Core Storage" error. But if we try to do this a second time it works fine. So something gets done in that first pass that allows it all to run on the second try. So we are still working, but it would be nice if this just worked on the first try. I'm not sure if it's a Netboot Image issue or a Casper Imaging issue. Just to add these machines are new MacBook Pro's out of the box. The factory OS on them is 10.10.1. They have never been booted before.
Saw this "Failed to delete Core Storage information" for the first time today. Casper imaging 9.65 imaging new 13 (non retina) macbook pros. Strange only some machines in the order though. Using AutocasperNBI with modified netboot.rc file. Having techs try disk repair.
I'm also seeing "failed to delete Core Storage information" in Casper Imaging 9.72 in a netboot set created with AutoCasperNBI using a 10.10.4 image from AutoDMG. I'm not seeing this in netboot sets created with Casper NetInstall Image Creator.
We are also having exactly same problem in Casper 9.72, from a 10.10.4 image with new iMac's
At present we have had to use workaround due to the time frame of getting them out, format the drive....it fails, try again it formats succesfully and then the image process works fine, not ideal but got us through for now, need to obviously find a suitable fix once this deployment is completed.
I just saw this today. However if I unmount and remount the partition and then try to run Casper Imaging again it seems to work fine. I ran into this in a brand new out of the box Mac for what its worth.
We have been having this issue since today,
-on a new macbook pro retina
-image is 10.10.4
-made with autocasper nbi
-another image with winclone
tried repairing,remounting the drive to no succes. Any new ideas?
Casper Imaging 9.72, old school NBI build (no AutoCasperNBI) and Mac Mini 7,1 (running 10.10/14A389 straight outta China) ... could not delete CS using typical imaging/erase hd workflow. I'm going to mess with it a bit to try and establish a pattern.
Curious what OS/builds those having trouble are finding installed (perhaps not relevant)?
edit: CS info deleted on reboot/2nd pass. Meh.
We tried to verify the disk,repair the disk, to format it manually, to unmount it and mount it again, we still get the same error. the error only occurs when in casper imaging on the netboot i check the " format before deployment" box.
We use the modified rc.netboot and a 10.10.4 base netboot and Casper Imaging 9.73 and we see this pop up in about 2 out of 10 machines that we are imaging currently. We do have erase target drive selected. We are imaging macbook air 2015s right now with a single partition. If I force quit Casper Imaging and then open disk utility and wipe the drive 1st, then it works fine. Really annoying.
Edit: Now this is happening to each machine. Really very annoying.
Edit2: After checking my netboot system out, I found that my netboot clients folder had over 1500 entries. After clearing this out it seems I may have fixed this issue. Not sure though.
I wonder if the edited rc.netboot file includes a limit on client records that would have caused this.

So I've seen this, and honestly all I've done is opened Disk Utility and erased the drive that way. Usually the first time fails and the second time succeeds. It's been limited Retinas and Airs built before the mid-2015 build.
I've seen this like many others, but I've created a fork of AutoCasperNBI to include a hard drive reformatting script that runs before Casper Imaging. This script nukes the drive and repartitions to a single HFS volume. CasperImaging then takes over and installs our clean image.
Still happening to us as well when the machine is first formatted. It wont allow disk utility to unmount the drive the first go around. Then I quit disk utility then it will erase the volume and allow casper imaging to continue.

So has anyone found why the netboot is not allowing this to delete properly the first time?
I'd love to fix this at the root of the problem.
Princeton Public Schools
We've had similar issues with new computers that ship with Core Storage volumes. We created a simple formatting script that we run before Casper Imaging launches to destroy the Core Storage volume and create a new one. This has worked well for use so far.


MODULE 5-2: ISWM PROJECT DESIGN
Thursday, July 20, 2006
This module addresses ISWM project design. The overall approach is that solid waste management project design should address the range of technical and non-technical issues associated with effective waste management. The model for doing this is “integrated solid waste management”, which is defined as “an optimised system of waste management practices for a given jurisdiction, based on the sound evaluation of site-specific environmental, energy, economic and socio-political considerations and which includes one or more waste management options”. Implicit in this definition is that some waste management options will involve the application of technology and some will involve the application of enhanced management frameworks (for example, improved legal frameworks or cost recovery).

Hand in hand with the Emperor's New Jobs Bill, is this part of He Who Shall Not Be Re-elected's radio address:
It is time for Congress to get its act together and pass this jobs bill so I can sign it into law.
Some Republicans in Congress have said that they agree with certain parts of this jobs bill. If so, it’s time for them to tell me what those proposals are. And if they’re opposed to this jobs bill, I’d like to know what exactly they’re against.
Some Republicans?? What about Democrats in the Senate? Democrats hold a majority of seats in the Senate, and so far, Harry Reid won't touch this bill with a ten foot pole.
It is extremely hypocritical for the President to single out Republicans, as though they were the only thing holding this ruinous (and erroneously named) tax bill back.
Obama is in full campaign mode. His so called "jobs bill" is just more hype, designed to be a poison pill for the Republicans, which he hopes will boost his re-election chances in 2012. The plight of unemployed Americans is not on Mr. Obama's agenda, except as an obstacle to his second term.

Surface-Bound and Released Neuronal Glycoproteins and Glycolipids
The establishment of the complex network of synaptic connections which occurs during vertebrate neural development is the result of a sequential series of cellular interactions between neurons and their targets. These interactions occur throughout the periods of cell migration, axonal outgrowth, recognition of target cells, differentiation and pre- and postsynaptic elements, competition between and reorganization of connections, and stabilization of the final connections in maturity (cf Patterson and Purves, 1982). A number of these stages, particularly the later ones, are controlled primarily by synaptic transmission. For example, distribution of acetylcholine receptors in adult skeletal muscle is determined largely by the activity induced in the muscle by synaptic transmission (Lomo and Westgaard, 1976). On the other hand, a number of interactions, particularly during the early phases of synapse formation, do not appear to be mediated by the transmitter. The initial organization of muscle acetylcholine receptors under the nerve, for example, can occur in the absence of acetylcholine binding to its receptor (Anderson et al., 1977). Cellular interactions in this case must involve other secreted or cell surface molecules. The identification, purification and characterization of these molecules is a particularly challenging area of contemporary neurobiology.
