Multiple problems with FOG after Upgrade.

[DarkEnergy]

After doing updates I am not longer able to read/write to the storage in /images. There are multiple error being encounter. The storage password was reset as one of the article was given.

While trying to perform downloads from some images the error is:
Failed to create deployment tasking for the following hosts

You must first upload an image to create a download task

In upload the Win7 images seems to be working but the Win8.1are failing with an error that the file systems needs to be check with sfck. Any advice on this particular issues?

Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Have you looked at this yet?

Thank you Wayne. The process you provided was done yesterday and fix the access to the storage. Today I only have the issue with couple couple of images. The permissions indicated by the Wiki indicates to allows everyone (777) to the folder which should be set to 744 or 774 depending on configuration. In any case the value is set to 774 on my server as the owner belong to the group and it is the only group for that folder. Everyone else can read the folder.

I will try again and see what give as there were, what it looks like, unfinished images.

Thanks again.

[DarkEnergy]

That did now work, still same error.
Sorry, should of provide this before. Running:
Ubuntu 14.04
FOG 1.2.0 SVN 3451

Any other ideas, suggestion, advice, etc?

[Wayne Workman]

More information about your environment would be helpful. Are you using the location plugin? Do you have separate storage nodes?

Can you manually change the local Linux “fog” user’s password on your server/nodes?
[CODE]passwd fog[/CODE]

and also ensure that:
Storage Management -> Storage Node -> Management Username &
Management Password are correct? These should match the “fog” user’s credentials.

Also, ensure that these credentials also match the local “fog” user’s credentials:

FOG Configuration -> FOG Settings -> TFTP Server -> FOG_TFTP_FTP_USERNAME & FOG_TFTP_FTP_PASSWORD

You may also need to restart the FTP service on your FOG machine (main and any nodes).

@Wayne:
All systems are full loaded on my end and configured accordingly. The password has been reset to the one in the /opt/fog/.fogsetting file and was change in two places in the FOG Web UI, one for the TFTP and the second for the Storage. The storage is local to fog, there is not iSCSI or remote/near (SAN/NAS/DAS) storage attached to the server.
And for the final question: Yes I can do my pleasure on the server.

Here is another tip that might help, not sure, let you decide. The error is only on download but not upload. I have uploaded three (3) images so far, no issues, but I cannot download the one I actually need.

Thanks.

Here is another error I am getting:

ntfsclone-ng: NTFS Volume ‘/dev/sda2/’ is schedule for a check or it was shutdown uncleanly. Please boot Windows or fix it by fsck.

I have run fsck and file checker integrity and reboot it multiple time and still same results.
No sure it is FOG or it is Windows…

Thank you for your assist.

Forgive my being rude here, but why haven’t you thought “There may be a reason it’s recommended to set the permissions to chmod -R 777.”?

I mean really?

I understand the concern, but why not start with what’s recommended first and get it working or figure out where the issue is?

Also, can you give us the EXACT error messages you’re seeing, maybe pictures if possible?

[DarkEnergy]

@Tom
No at all, you are not being rude. Understood what you are pointing out. You are thinking it is permission issue. That would be true is all the images were giving me the same error given the -R is recursive in the directory and subdirectories all the way to the files. The UNIX/Linux permission files are divided on three sections:

Current user	Groups	Everyone else
----------------------	----------------	-------------------------
r - w - x	r - w - x	r - w - x
----------------------	----------------	-------------------------
4 2 1	4 2 1	4 2 1
----------------------	----------------	-------------------------

By adding the bits values you will get the 777 for chmod. However, I don’t want every one to have access to this folder. That is the same permission that I have in all other files. More to the point, this is the only file giving issues. I have user fog group/user as the owner of /images which will give full access to the file system in the directory.

I believe I put the error message on the original post:
======================START===========================
"Failed to create deployment tasking for the following hosts

You must first upload an image to create a download task"
========================END===========================

There/ is very hard to take a picture as it scroll fairly fast on the screen right before Partclone starts to push the image.

Thank you for you assistance.

[Tom Elliott]

@DarkEnergy So the original issue is fixed, and now you’re getting the “needs to be checked?”

[Thiago]

I don’t know if your problem is like mine.

When i did a upload of my 8.1, i got this message too (“file systems needs to be check” ).

I solved the case, when i shutdown the system completely without using the Win8.1 hybrid mode, then turning on computer into fog boot process.
see: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/how-shut-down-turn-off-pc

[DarkEnergy]

@Tom:
Yes, I am not sure if this is related to the first issue or possible a left over but I am looking into it.

@Thiago:
Thank you for the article. After reading it I am actually wondering if they are actually trying to teach me how to shutdown windows. If that is the case, well, with my background in IT I think I have an idea how to do it. However, they referring to a logged on user and not a sysprep session that it is what I was using. Once the sysprep runs the system will reboot automatically in order to set the box back to “Out of the Box Experience”.

@DarkEnergy
Just a quick note, with the forums, if you put a space after the @, @NAME it won’t notify the person. So @ Jbob would not work, but @Jbob would

Hi there to all of you FOGGERS.
I am now having issues randomly with some other images.
I am getting and error:
" An error has been detected!
Image failed to restored
Computer will reboot in 1 minute"

The error is after Partclone try to access the image.

Partclone v0.2.78 http://partclone.org
Starting to resotre image (-) to device (/dev/sda1)
device (/dev/sda1) is mounted at
error exit

To save some time I have checked the password in the storage and also the TFTP sever and they are all good, I have also reset the password for fog user to the same as the one for the storage and the TFTP, plus check all the permissions on the file system set to 777 and still no go.

I have been having problems sine the fist update I did to the server.
Is there a way to just keep the images, destroy the server and reinstall FOG back to the original configuration in 1.2.0 without any of the updates. The last schema change in MySQL was the one giving me the issue since then I haven’t been able to get FOG were it was.

Thanks for all you help.

[Wayne Workman]

Sounds NFS related, or permissions related.

[DarkEnergy]

@Wayne

Please in light me. I have checked all the permissions.

Thanks for all you help.

It’s a partclone image or an old partimage ?

[DarkEnergy]

@ch3i
I am not sure what are you asking me. The only FOG I have used is 1.2.0. I am not sure if the image was created with partimage. I can tell you for sure that some images work some other don’t.
