@george1421 Running Fog 1.4.4. They mostly work correctly but once in a while I get the “Initialising devices” hang.

@junkhacker This was exactly my issue. All I had to do was boot the offending laptops into Windows, shut down, and reboot. The “Initialising devices” hang was gone. My thanks, more than 3 years after the original post!

Issue Resolved.

The final resolution to this issue was related to additional Storage Nodes. There were two extra storage nodes that must have been created a few years ago for testing. Neither one of them was the Master Node. Once I deleted those two nodes the error about not being able to find a suitable storage node disappeared and everything started working.

Thanks for all of the help.

I changed the login of the Default Storage Node to root and the long password. After doing that the image sizes are listed properly.

Can someone clarify for me? In a single server FOG setup, what login username/password should I be using in the following areas:

• for Management Username on the Default storage node?
• for FOG_STORAGENODE_MYSQLUSER in the FOG Storage Nodes section of the Fog Configuration page?
• for FOG_TFTP_FTP_USERNAME under the TFTP Server section of the Fog Configuration page?

I feel like some of these username/password combinations may not be set up correctly. Thanks for your help.

The IP is definitely correct.

As for the UN/password: The DefaultMember storage node originally had a username of fogstorage and a 6 character password that looked randomly generated. While troubleshooting this issue I changed the username and password to reflect the ones listed under FOG Configuration–>FOG Settings–>FOG Storage Nodes.

What is the default username/password that should be used for the storage node?

**** I edited this post to reflect the fact that the node originally had a username of fogstorage (right), not fogserver (wrong)

Buddy, the image path and image name seem to match up. Thanks for the idea.

Don’t think awk is the issue - when I do a man awk I get a man page for mask. It seems like “awk” is a valid command when I enter it at command line, though I am not familiar with syntax.

Additional info - When I try to image a computer I get the error “Unable to find a suitable storage node for transfer!”. This error seems related.

Thanks for your help and all of your QUICK replies Tom!

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 30204, member: 7271”]And the StorageNode is master and the path in that storage node is set to /images?[/quote]

Yes, the storage node is master and set to /images.

At least some of those images exist under /images and I think the permissions are okay. The .img files have a real size to them, they look fine. Does this look right?

Since upgrading to 1.1.0 I’m having trouble with imaging. When I checked the Image Management–>List All Images I am seeing all images listed with a size of 0.00 GiB. Under settings I verified that the images path was /images which seems correct. Any idea what might be happening?[ATTACH=full]993[/ATTACH]
