capturing image issue

[Charlie]

Hello everyone,
I’ve seen some posts talking about similar issues to mine but none of them helped me, so I’m asking here.
When I try to capture an image, this happen :

I tried to upload a Windows 10 and 7 image, and tried with fresh install on Fog 1.5.0 and 1.4.4 : same issue.
When I do a ls - la on /images I got this :
but when I try to mannually mount /images/dev on /images I got this :
I did a lot of things that I saw on other posts without success (like modifying nfs parameters, etc…).
I’m running on Proxmox VE 5.1, and the Vm for the fog service is a debian 8.0. All my network is on 192.168.12.XXX.
Thanks in advance for your help.

@charlie Can you post the output of this command: showmount -e 127.0.0.1?

[Charlie]

Thanks for your answer, it gave me this message :

does it have a relation with the nfs service ? Sorry i’m a beginner with Linux.

[george1421]

@charlie Yes, this tells us that the nfs service is not running on your fog server, or you did not disable the native linux firewall.

@george1421 Thanks again, I tried this

and then

and I got this

but I’ve still the “Programm not registred” when I do the showmount.
So, i tried to start the nfs service :

Should I update something or did I missed something when I installed ? Sorry again I’m not familiar with linux.

@charlie said in capturing image issue:

I’m running on Proxmox VE 5.1, and the Vm for the fog service is a debian 8.0.
…
Not starting NFS kernel daemon: no support in current kernel. ... (warning).

I’ve had that too back when using FOG in a Proxmox container. First you need to check if the nfsd module is installed and loaded in your Proxmox host system (not the VM but the underlaying system!):

# modprobe nfsd
# lsmod | grep nfsd
nfsd                  312315  14
# grep nfsd /proc/filesystems
nodev   nfsd

Then you need to sort of activate that module for the VM as well:

# vzctl stop $CONTAINER_ID
# vzctl set $CONTAINER_ID --feature  nfsd:on --save
# vzctl start $CONTAINER_ID

Now when the VM is back up you should see a proper output running showmount -e 127.0.0.1…

LXC Containers

For those take a look at the forum post here: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/7978/fog-in-lxc-container-how-to-configure-nfs-server

@sebastian-roth Hello and thanks for your answer. I followed your instructions so I got :


but then I got this :

Do I need to download or update something for this command to be recognized ?
Thanks in advance.

[Charlie]

@sebastian-roth I also did edit the file /etc/apparmor.d/lxc/lxc-default-cgns as shown in your link.

[Sebastian Roth]

@Charlie What kind of VMs/containers do you use on your Proxmox server?

[Charlie]

@sebastian-roth I’m using LXC containers.

@Charlie Maybe this would help? https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/is-it-possible-to-run-a-nfs-server-within-a-lxc.24403/

[Charlie]

@sebastian-roth Thanks again for your help, I’ll try this when I’ll go back to work. I’ll keep you informed about it.

hello,
I couldn’t find a solution to unlock my situation, I tried many things on promox and on fog, without succes again. So I decided to start a new install on another post, separated from the proxmox and it’s working fine. I think I’ll keep this solution so, thanks for your help and sorry to leave an unsolved issue, see you later !
