added a new storage disk but now I can only image and not restore

[icemannz]

Hi all,
I followed this guide and setup a new storage disk and it seemed to go according to the plan.
Adding Storage
I can now image different machines and it is stored in the new storage area called /images2
The issue is when I try to restore the image.
The error is Unable to locate image store (/bin/fog.download)

Any help would be appreciated.
The showmount -e 127.0.0.1 command shows the shared folders correctly.
Not sure what to do.

Hi all,
To anyone with the same issue,
this was caused by running Fog on a virtual machine under Proxmox.
To run under Proxmox - it needs to be installed as a Privileged Container with nesting and NFS enabled under the options.
It will then work.
The issue is to do with the NFS sharing, I think that perhaps a port or something is blocked and the above approach gets around it.

@icemannz01 I have run FOG for multiple years in Proxmox without issues in a VM. Containers have been where I have experienced issues.

I could see the issue being between privileged and unprivileged containers.

@JeremyL Hi, yes I am sure I have run Fog under Proxmox as well successfully but this time it didn’t want to work. Anyway once I switched to using Fog running under a Container, it uses much fewer resources and runs just as well.
So I would recommend switching to running it under a container when possible.
