Error mounting XX.XX.XX.XX:/fog/ on /fog

[Tom Elliott]

I’m just guessing, you setup your fog server on a fairly recent revision of fog? That’s the only way, I can think of, that you were able to tell with storage node you want FOG to operate with.

Check your exports file and show us a copy please?

Hi, I’m running Ubuntu 14.04 with fog version SVN 3551

My exports file looks like this

root@fog2:~# cat /etc/exports 
/images *(ro,sync,no_wdelay,no_subtree_check,insecure_locks,no_root_squash,insecure,fsid=0)
/images/dev *(rw,async,no_wdelay,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash,insecure,fsid=1)
root@fog2:~#

Can you set 777 perms recursively for the /images directory?

[CODE]sudo chmod -R 777 /images[/CODE]

Also, what happens when you re-start NFS? Any errors?

[CODE]sudo service nfs-kernel-server restart
sudo service rpcbind restart[/CODE]

[Tom Elliott]

In your Storage Management Page, you have the images path for this node set to look at /fog, but the exports looks like it’s looking for /images. Which path are your images located in?

[YuYo]

root@fog2:~# service nfs-kernel-server restart
 * Stopping NFS kernel daemon                                                                                                 [ OK ]

root@fog2:~# 

root@fog2:~# service rpcbind restart
rpcbind stop/waiting
rpcbind start/running, process 27783
root@fog2:~# 

They seem to restart correctly

This is how the Default Storage Node looks like:

All the images under /images are drwxrwxrwx

[Wayne Workman]

Can you tell us what the output of this is?

[CODE]sudo mysql
use fog;
select ngmRootPath from nfsGroupMembers;
exit[/CODE]

[YuYo]

@Wayne-Workman said:

select ngmRootPath from nfsGroupMembers;

mysql> use fog;
Reading table information for completion of table and column names
You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A

Database changed
mysql> select ngmRootPath from nfsGroupMembers;
+-------------+
| ngmRootPath |
+-------------+
| /images     |
+-------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

So now, the question is… Why is your clients trying to mount x.x.x.x:/fog ??

I’ve been very busy today. I’ll get back to this either tonight or tomorrow, but keep checking back because someone else might help.

Found the issue!!!

It was one of the postdownload scripts that we use

if [ $osid == "5" -o $osid == "6" -o $osid == "7" ]; then #only handling Win7/8/8.1
    clearScreen;
    mkdir /ntfs &>/dev/null
    ntfs-3g -o force,rw $part /ntfs #mount image (remember this is mounting partition [U][B]after[/B][/U] new image is deployed)
    mkdir /fog &>/dev/null
    mount -o nolock,proto=tcp $storageip:/fog/ /fog #this is a share created on server under /fog which contains drivers, software etc.. (just add /fog to exports but you could use existing location i.e. /images and if you do, do not need to do this mount as /images is still mounted at this point)
    dots "Mounting Device";
    if [ "$?" = "0" ]; then
        echo "Done";
        #'. ${postdownpath}fog.drivers # run fog.drivers script
        . ${postdownpath}fog.ad # then run fog.ad ... you get the jist
        #'. ${postdownpath}fog.snapins
        umount /ntfs; # unmount when all is done :-)
    else
        echo "Failed To Mount Device";
        sleep 30;
    fi
fi

I see the error too. I’m glad you were able to find it and I went ahead and solved this thread.

Thank you for reporting back as to what you found and the potential fix for this particular issue.
