Backing up user profiles/data before deploying image

[george1421]

@RobertD Oh that’s a easy one. That is because /images is read-only at the share level. That is why fog uploads to /images/dev which is read-write at the share level.

showmount -e 127.0.0.1 might show this or /etc/exports will.

[RobertD]

So we should be mounting to a sub directory in images/dev…

Export list for 172.31.16.155:
/images/dev *
/images     *

add it to /etc/exports as an rw share
then execute as root

echo "/images/userbackup *(rw,async,no_wdelay,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash,insecure,fsid=2)" >> /etc/exports
exportfs -a
systemctl restart rpcbind # or something like i dont remember de name exactly
systemctl restart ntfs-server

Try it if you can.

You can do that just watch your IDs and pick the next integer.

something like

/images/userbackup *(rw,async,no_wdelay,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash,insecure,fsid=2)

Then an

exportfs -a
showmount -e 127.0.0.1

should show the new share.

Guess you meant:

echo "/images/userbackup *(rw,async,no_wdelay,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash,insecure,fsid=2)" >> /etc/exports
...

Wow you guys are a great help. We were looking at folder permissions that whole time when it was the share permissions.
