FOG 1.2.0 multicast issues

[Tom Elliott]

Then I’m at a loss as to what this issue is.

One last thing to try if at all possible:
[code]umount /images
touch /images/.mntcheck
touch /images/dev/.mntcheck
scp -r 10.1.0.56:/images/PeteTest /images/
chown -R root:root /images
chmod -R 777 /images[/code]

If you have enough room of course. Then try redoing the tasking, does all work?

[TRSD]

touch: cannot touch `/images/dev/.mntcheck’: No such file or directory

[Tom Elliott]

mkdir /images/dev
touch /images/dev/.mntcheck

[TRSD]

This says it will take about 18 minutes. I will leave it running but I have to leave the office now. I really appreciate your help with this and will report back in the morning with a status.

Thank you very much.

[Tom Elliott]

okay, thank you,

Unfortunately, we did run out of space on this so we can’t test on the one server. Do you think permissions would be an issue since unicast imaging does work?

[Tom Elliott]

Yes.

Unicast access the file system on /images as root user.

This means that it’s the same permissions as if it were on the nfs.

The Multicast tasks, initially, get started from the www-data user. So if permissions are read only, it can’t execute anything on them.

[TRSD]

Would it make sense to change the owner of PeteTest to www-data for testing purposes?

[Tom Elliott]

No,

Because the /images directory is still mounted read only.

[TRSD]

Also, why wouldn’t I change the /etc/exports folder on the fog server to match the image box:?

/images *(rw,sync,no_wdelay,no_root_squash,insecure)
/images/dev *(rw,sync,no_wdelay,no_root_squash,insecure)

[TRSD]

exports file, I mean.

I have done a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and SVN and restored database.
Now the multicast process doesn’t stop but it still doesn’t multicast.
Here is the log:

I have checked all of the options we have previously gone through in this thread and omping does work for multicast. Any ideas since we can get this far?

[TRSD]

It looks like we have resolved this issue by installing Ubuntu 14.04 on both our FOG server and image server and then installing the GlusterFS as per Tom’s advice. Thank you Tom for all of your help.
