Modify path /images to /home ???

Eze84d

Hi, my question is this, how can I change the path where the images are saved Fog Debian ??? Currently are being saved to / and as I am working on a virtual machine, I have no more room there, and I have almost all the / home free …

First of all, it’s my first experience with Debian and Fog.

Thank you very much !!!

It might be possible to shrink the /home directory, and then expand the / directory.

I’m not entirely sure about Debian, but I know that in Fedora 21, you can choose the sizes of the directories during installation. During my installation, I just went ahead and created the /images directory right then and there, and gave it a ton of space.

This page may also be helpful. It talks about re-sizing directories without data loss.

Thanks guys for your help.

I tell them to Reproduce researching and already solved the problem momentarily.

I tell them how I did it:

I went to Storage Management Page, and modify the path where I kept the pictures / images to / home / images and longer stay.

Now I have another little problem … when you are creating the image of the host, I get a sign saying:

FATAL ERROR: FAILED TO MOUNT NFS VOLUME

I could help with this ???

Thank you very much to all !!!

What is the version of Debian?
What version of FOG?

Copied from Tom’s Posts:

does
/data/images/.mntcheck and /data/images/dev/.mntcheck exist?
Are the permissions as: chmod -R 777 /data/images?

selinux disabled?

rpcbind running?

What’s the boot file look like? in a browser, Replace <ipoffogserver> & <macaddressofclientintask> with appropriate data. Mac addresses include colons.
This is the address:

[ ok ] rpcbind is running.

I tell them, turned to leave the path / images in the Storage Management and I believe smoothly image …

To change the / images for / home / images try to mount the / home / images in / images and here is where I throw permission denied.

As achieve that images are stored in / home / images ???

Thank you very much !!!

Eze84d

Any idea how to do this ??? Some guidance or help ??? I hope your answers !!! Thank you very much !!!

Tom Elliott

I tried helping, but I don’t know the exact issue. Is FOG able to mount the NFS or not? What’s in the /etc/exports file?

Is the nfs service running? Is it exporting the filesystems properly? What have you done?

Sebastian Roth

If you wonder about how to test mounting NFS from another computer, see here:
[url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/problem-with-permission-denied-after-fog-server-restart.12503/#post-42999[/url]

Eze84d

Well, what I need to do is the following:

I need to add a new path for saving the images, it must be / home / Fog / image.

I add in Storage Management, but does not allow me to modify “Management username” and “Management passwords”, I understand that here I put the user and pass the TFTP not?

Ultimately I would need to explain how to create a new path for saving the images.

Thank you very much !!!

Hi everybody,

I have a 1.5.5 Fog version on Debian 9.3. By default, my images storage directory was /images.

And my wish was to put images on new directory /var/images (/var is mount on LVM mapper…).

So here are the actions I done :
1/ create a /var/images directory
2/ set good rights and owner for this new directory (see /images rights)
3/ move all files from /images to /var/images (be careful to move all files : with dot, etc.; ls -la to be sure !)
4/ connect to database with mysql client and change path :

use fog;
update nfsGroupMembers set ngmRootPath='/var/images/';
update nfsGroupMembers set ngmFTPPath='/var/images/';

5/ change path in /etc/exports :

/var/images *(ro,sync,no_wdelay,no_subtree_check,insecure_locks,no_root_squash,insecure,fsid=0)                                                                                                                                                                                
/var/images/dev *(rw,async,no_wdelay,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash,insecure,fsid=1)

6/ apply nfs changes :

exportfs -ra

That’s all !
