    Re: Creating image - permission denied

    I found this tread while searching about my problem as i have the same issue.

    Trying to capture a client (host) i get the error “permission denied” while the host tries to mount the images folder

    Here the message as follows:

    Could not mount images folder (/bin/fog.upload)
    Args Passed:
    Reason: mount: mounting 192.xxx.x.xx:/Computer/Images/dev/ on /Images failed: Permission denied

    I also checked with showmount -t 127.0.0.1 on the FOG Server if my images folder is listed and it is shown.

    I also shut down my machine with shutdown -s -t 0 with no avail.
    Also a second machine shows the same behavior.

    I am running FOG 1.5.9
    Not sure if an Update or reinstall to 1.5.10 will solve this. I did already create images under the same version a while ago

    @djgalloway Just to add a bit of detail here. All of the work you did was on the iPXE side, which is great work by the way. The kernel driver I updated was after you select an FOG iPXE menu item that is when bzImage is loaded and run. It relies on kernel parameters that is provided by iPXE to find the root file system. This is technically what you fixed by ensuring that default.ipxe/boot.php from the fog server was being called. At the end of the day, I’m glad you got that working because your setup is definitely an edge case that works well in your environment.

    Hi Again guys

    I have some news about this problem.
    I found a work around.

    I change the file d1.fixed_size_partitions deleting the recovery Windows partition. This change generated and error when I made the deploy image in Client PC.
    But if I cancel the job in the CLI fog server and reset the client machine after fog show the error
    It boot ok.

    I’ll continue reading …
    Thanks

    Ok so I now have a second system with the EXACT same issue. I purchased a Dell Precision 7875 which has 2 on-board nics. I updated our dhcp server to issue an IP address for one of the two NICs. With the system connected to that interface I PXE booted the system. The first stage of the fog shows as it notices the system is not registered and asking whether I would like to register the system. Yet once I say do full registration that’s it it will not proceed further.

    So similar to the issue that I’ve raised prior with multiple NICs and @george1421 suggested I PXE booted the system again but went into DEBUG mode. Well as it appears the unused MAC address is now showing up on the interface that I had configured to connect to the network. Seeing that I did not assign an IP address to the second mac address the system would not proceed any further. The odd thing is that BOTH interfaces show up having the same mac address. It seems that there’s an issue with the FOS with newer Dell systems with multiple NICs.

    If I disable one of the two NICs in the BIOS, and do the re-imaging process everything works fine…

    Really looking for a fix for this…

    Cheers

    Hello everyone,

    As I work at a secondary school, I was able to get hold of some Catalina iMacs (iMac 14.3).
    I already use FOG to deploy Windows and Linux images on PCs.

    I would like to deploy a LinuxMint image on these iMacs.

    However, I am unable to boot into PXE on them with FOG, and I do not know what is wrong.

    I modified my DHCP server as follows:

    ## FOG class "UEFI-32-1" { match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 20) = "PXEClient:Arch:00006"; filename "i386-efi/ipxe.efi"; } class "UEFI-32-2" { match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 20) = "PXEClient:Arch:00002"; filename "i386-efi/ipxe.efi"; } class "UEFI-64-1" { match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 20) = "PXEClient:Arch:00007"; filename "ipxe.efi"; } class "UEFI-64-2" { match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 20) = "PXEClient:Arch:00008"; filename "ipxe.efi"; } class "UEFI-64-3" { match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 20) = "PXEClient:Arch:00009"; filename "ipxe.efi"; } class "Apple-Intel-Netboot" { match if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 14) = "AAPLBSDPC/i386"; option dhcp-parameter-request-list 1,3,17,43,60; if (option dhcp-message-type = 8) { option vendor-class-identifier "AAPLBSDPC"; if (substring(option vendor-encapsulated-options, 0, 3) = 01:01:01) { # BSDP List option vendor-encapsulated-options 01:01:01:04:02:80:00:07:04:81:00:05:2a:09:0D:81:00:05:2a:08:69:50:58:45:2d:46:4f:47; } elsif (substring(option vendor-encapsulated-options, 0, 3) = 01:01:02) { #BSDP Select option vendor-encapsulated-options 01:01:02:08:04:81:00:05:2a:82:0a:4e:65:74:42:6f:6f:74:30:30:31; # filename "i386-efi/ipxe.efi"; filename "snp.efi"; } } } class "Legacy" { match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 20) = "PXEClient:Arch:00000"; filename "undionly.kkpxe"; } ### END FOG

    I tested ipxe.efi in 64-bit and 32-bit, as well as snp.efi, but it still doesn’t work. I get some kind of spinning planet when I try to boot.

    I admit I don’t fully understand the documentation page: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/FOG_on_a_MAC

    Thanks in advance!

    @Tom-Elliott said in FOG Client service disconnection, pending snapins are not even being detected:

    @Jamaal The client lives on the Machine itself. not on the fog server.

    Those logs live on teh Windows machine I forget the exact path but something like:

    c:\program files\fog client\fog-error.log or something like that?

    Yes, it’s c:\program files (x86)\fog\fog.log

    I figured out the issue, lol. I was having a moment, but thanks for helping me out.
