      I’ve attached a photo of the servers screen, it shows the error better. By doing this I also noticed a fail to mount error. I’m not sure I didn’t mess up the mounts from the new disk, so I’ve pasted the fstab

      I’ve also issued the “sudo chmod -R 777 /images2” command, the new disk is mounted as images2.

      Mod edited to use code box
      [CODE]image@fog1:/etc$ cat fstab

      /etc/fstab: static file system information.

      Use ‘blkid’ to print the universally unique identifier for a

      device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices

      that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).

      <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>

      /dev/mapper/fog1–vg-root / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1

      /boot was on /dev/sda2 during installation

      UUID=7fb5c067-98c2-45bf-88c7-66e39f3f149e /boot ext2 defaults 0 2
      /dev/mapper/fog1–vg-swap_1 none swap sw 0 0
      /dev/sdb1 /images2 ext3 defaults 0 0

      image@fog1:/etc$[/CODE]

      Thanks for your help, its late here, UK 23:52, and I have to go. If you have any suggestions I’ll look at tomorrow morning, I’d be grateful and thanks in advance.

      I still think I have the username / password wrong, where would you recommend I get the
      correct ones from?

          On your FOG server, what is the output of these two commands?

          [CODE]cat /etc/exports
          ls -laR /images2 | grep .mntcheck[/CODE]

            Thanks for your help, much appreciated.

            I issued the commands, and realised the /images2 and /images2/dev directories were not being exported. I then edited the /etc/exports file to do so. The new 4tb disk is mounted on /images2

            I’ve taken a photo, now the Nfs error has gone. One down one to go.

            Here’s the url of the photo;
            https://www.dropbox.com/s/34lgv7b3f7fkzpc/fogerror2 (1).jpeg?dl=0

            This is the result of the commands, after editing the file;

            image@fog1:~$ cat /etc/exports
            /images *(ro,sync,no_wdelay,insecure_locks,no_root_squash,insecure,fsid=1)
            /images/dev *(rw,sync,no_wdelay,no_root_squash,insecure,fsid=2)
            /images2 *(ro,sync,no_wdelay,insecure_locks,no_root_squash,insecure,fsid=3)
            /images2/dev *(rw,sync,no_wdelay,no_root_squash,insecure,fsid=4)
            image@fog1:~$ ls -laR /images2 | grep .mntcheck
            -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jun 1 16:30 .mntcheck
            image@fog1:~$

            So it’s getting there, I’m still not sure about the password, so I’m using the “password” from the /opt/fog/.fogsettings. Is that correct? What username should I use?

            Thanks

              @Julianh You’re missing one .mntcheck file.

              You need one in both images and dev folders

              [CODE]touch /images2/.mntcheck
              touch /images2/dev/.mntcheck[/CODE]

              After that, restart the NFS service and portmap/RPC (or reboot the machine).

              Let us know what it does then.

                Thank you Wayne, your suggestion has made a big step forward.

                The machine now uploads an image, but unfortunately it’s created an image in the /images2/dev directory, in a directory that is the MAC address of the machines lan card.

                The image size is also 0 in the list of images
                The command ls - l gives

                root@fog1:/images2/dev# ls -l
                total 4
                drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 Jun 2 22:03 e03f49af16b2
                root@fog1:/images2/dev#

                I thought it may be permissions, so issued

                chown -R root.root /images2

                But that didn’t fix it

                Its the final stage that moves it from the /images2/dev to /images2 and renames it. So close…

                Anyone know the next step?

                Julian

                  Sounds like you now need to troubleshoot FTP.

                  Take a look at this: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Troubleshoot_FTP

                  Let us know if you figure it out, or if you need more help.

                  Here’s a hint… Credentials 🙂

                    I’ve spent 5 hours going through this, and still can’t see it.
                    I’ve read through the guide Wayne suggested, and can’t seem to find the problem,

                    My .fogsettings are; (passwords changed)

                    ipaddress=“10.10.1.5”;
                    interface=“eth0”;
                    routeraddress=" option routers 10.10.1.1;“;
                    plainrouter=“10.10.1.1”;
                    dnsaddress=” option domain-name-servers 8.8.8.8; “;
                    dnsbootimage=“8.8.8.8”;
                    password=“11111”;
                    osid=“2”;
                    osname=“Debian”;
                    dodhcp=“y”;
                    bldhcp=“1”;
                    installtype=“N”;
                    snmysqluser=”"
                    snmysqlpass=“22222”;
                    snmysqlhost=“”;
                    installlang=“0”;
                    donate=“0”;
                    fogupdateloaded=“1”
                    image@fog1:/opt/fog$

                    I’ve checked the storage node, and the management username and management password are fog and “11111”

                    I’ve ftp’d from windows to the fog server, and sent a file from windows to the fog server, using the credentials fog and 11111. The file transferred fine.

                    I’ve reset the folders with

                    sudo chmod -R 777 /images2
                    sudo chown -R fog:root /images2.

                    The results of the command

                    ls -laR /images2 are below;

                    drwxrwxrwx 4 fog root 4096 Jun 1 22:32 .

                    image@fog1:/images$

                    The only thing I can find is I have no storageftppass= line, but if this was the fault, wouldn’t it affect the creation of images on the original disk, which works fine.

                    I have to build images next week, or my company won’t be able to run a course, and I’ll really be in trouble.

                    Can anyone help me out?

                      You are likely running FOG 1.2.0 ? You wouldn’t have storageftppass= I think. That’s a more recent thing in FOG Trunk.

                      When you say you “added a disk”, could you please elaborate?

                      Did you physically add another hard drive into the server itself?

                      Or are you using a NAS ?

                        I had a 4tb disk in the server, that I installed fog on. The OS and images are on this disk. I ran out of space, and added another 4 Tb disk to the fog server. It’s this new disk I’m having problems with, the old disk works fine.
                        The new disk is mounted as /images2.
                        There is no NAS involved, it’s all local, which it has to be. I’m not allowed to use anything except the 1 server, and must keep it on the network the clients are on, it’s not allowed to connect outside, to another NAS box for example.

                        Thanks

                          The problem is now, how do I get the images named correctly and in the images2 directory instead of being named the MAC address and in the /images2/dev directory.

                          Thanks

                            Well, a simple work around would be something like this:

                            [CODE]mv /images2/dev/MacAddressHere /images2/EXACT_Image_Name_You_Chose[/CODE]

                            And when I say exact, look at the path in your image definition (in the web UI). Normally, stuff like underscores and whatnot are truncated, the actual file name that it should be will be in the PATH section.

                            But, can you verify that when you used FTP to transfer a file, can you verify you were accessing the correct storage node?

                            Did you ECHO some text to /images2/dev/text.txt and then try to move that via FTP to /images/text.txt ??

                              I have to get it working with the front end, although the mv command would work, In the long term I won’t be the only one using this so it needs to work fine, unfortunately.

                              Here’s the text from the windows ftp to the fog server,

                              ftp> open 10.10.1.5
                              Connected to 10.10.1.5.

                              257 “/home/fog”
                              ftp> cd /images2
                              250 Directory successfully changed.
                              ftp> put test.txt
                              200 PORT command successful. Consider using PASV.
                              425 Failed to establish connection.

                              I redid this, I noticed that it didn’t transfer the file, but logged in. This suggests file/directory permissions, but my previous post shows what they were set to, are they wrong? Or should the directories be set to root root, rather than fog root?

                              Incidentally the machines being imaged have 2 drives in them
                              I’m getting desperate, I’ll have to explain to my boss why this isn’t working tomorrow, any suggestions?

                                Dumb question but, your Windows firewall is off, right? Like… totally off? Exceptions for stuff like TFTP don’t really work… I couldn’t get them to work anyways… maybe FTP might be the same… best to turn it off.

                                Also,

                                Can you try to use FTP from the FOG server itself? If it works, then that is a valuable troubleshooting piece.

                                        Here are some screen shots of the storage node and image details, any suggestions?

                                            Thank you for your screenshots, but can you test that Wayne-Workman ask for ?
