Capture problem

[benjamind]

Hi everyone,

We got a problem when trying to catpure a new image :

Does anyone please got an idea ?

Thank you.

[Sebastian Roth]

@benjamind Can you still access the FOG Web UI? Wow many hosts with fog-client installed do you have? Which version of FOG is currently installed?

[benjamind]

@Sebastian-Roth Thank you for your reply.

We can still access the Web UI.

We have 399 Hosts with fog-client installed.

The version actually installed is 1.5.7.

@benjamind Have you or did you change the password on the fogproject linux user? This is a service account owned and managed by the fog program. Something else to check is see if there is a directory in /images/dev directory that matches or looks like a mac address for the directory name. Normally these directories should not exist but only during an actual capture. If the directory exists and it matches the mac address of the target computer here, it also makes me think the fogproject user password was changed or there is a directory permission issue on the /images directory.

Hi @george1421,

I didn’t change the fogprokect password.

Thereis a directory in /images/dev/ that looks like a MAC address.

What should be the permission for the directory /images/ ? I hacve some files with root:root and other with fogproject:root.

Should i change the permissions to fogproject:www-data ?

[Sebastian Roth]

@benjamind Permissions seem to be ok. Have you read through the other topic George linked?

[benjamind]

@Sebastian-Roth

Yes, i do. That’s why i ask if i have to set the permissions to fogproject:www-data as they do in this topic.

[Sebastian Roth]

@benjamind Re-reading both topics I don’t think you have the same issue than in the other one. While gets the error message “Invalid Storage Group” you seem to receive an empty error from the server. Kind of strange. @george1421 Any more ideas you have for this out of the blue?

I’m not sure at this time where it can be, but I have noticed an uptick in people reporting this invalid storage group. I guess I’ll have to look into my dev environment to see what actually drives that error message and then try to back track from there.

As mentioned in my last post it’s not the same error message everytime. A couple of times we hat the “Invalid Storage Node” but this one is not.

[Sebastian Roth]

@benjamind Do you still get the very same error message (Error returned: <empty>)??

[benjamind]

@Sebastian-Roth No, i have changed the permissions to fogproject:root and delete the directories in /images/dev/ that looks like a MAC address.

It works now.
