Unable to locate image store - FOG 1.2.0

[Gardinero]

Hello there,

my first day in this forum and already the second thread…

When trying to image a host, I always get the error message

Unable to locate image store

I know, that there are several threads concerning this issue in this forum, but unfortunately I did not find a solution yet.

I checked the permissions of my /image directory.

drwxr-xr-x   4 fog  root  4096 Jul  3 12:13 images
drwxrwxrwx 2 fog root 4096 Jul  3 12:13 dev

There are also .mntcheck files in both directories…

Can anybody help me, please?

Thank you in advance.

Regards
Lars

@Gardinero Your /images must have 777 recursively.

@Gardinero You might also look through this article and figure it out: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Troubleshoot_NFS

Hey Guys,

it is absolutely frustrating, but I don’t find a solution for this problem.

I now changed the permissions of the folder /image to 777 recursively.
I also went through the troubleshoot guide twice, but still the same.

I tried three different clients (hosts), but always the same message…

I also removed FOG completely and reinstalled it. No change…

Do you perhaps have another idea, or are there any log files I can check?

Thank you in advance.

@Gardinero Please take a photo of the error and post it here so we can see what you see. Also, what OS and version of Linux are you using?

/images should be drwxrwxrwx as well.

This can be accomplished with:

sudo chmod -R 777 /images

Hello,

here are my permissions:

/mnt/sdb1/:
insgesamt 28
drwxrwxrwx 4 xlvideo root  4096 Jul  6 12:30 .

And the screenshot of the error message.

On the FOG-Server I am running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. If you have a recommendation for a better server OS, I am open to any suggestions.

The clients all run Windows 7 Pro x64 (German edition).

Greetings.

@Gardinero Have you uploaded an image?

What is the output of this:

ls -lahRt /mnt/sdb1/images

[Gardinero]

Hello,

the image should be here:
https://forums.fogproject.org/uploads/files/1436202691336-2015-07-06-19_03_46.png

I attached it to my last post.

Here you find the output of

ls -lahRt /mnt/sdb1/images

@Gardinero According to the output of the command I asked you to run, it would appear that the image has not been uploaded yet.

[Wayne Workman]

@Gardinero Can you please check your storage node settings? Ensure your path is correct for your nodes.

Ok, I feel absolutely sheepish about this… I made a huge error in reasoning…

I thought the dialog during host registration

Would you like to image this computer now?

would mean, if I want to save an image of the new host’s harddisk.

I am so sorry.

Thank you very much.

I hope now everything will be fine for me.

Lars
