Installation failure
-
Hello all,
I’m a FOG newb - so my apologies in advance. I have tried multiple installation attempts of trunk on both Ubuntu 14.04 and Cent 7. Both systems have been yup/apt updated, firewall disabled, selinux disabled and rebooted prior to installation attempts. I receive the following error for both platforms:
- Setting up storage…Failed!
On both platforms, for_error_5852.log yields: “chmod: cannot access ‘/.mntcheck’: No such file or directory”
My installation settings are pretty much default, see below. Would appreciate any guidance you might be able to give. Thanks in advance!

Here are the settings FOG will use: Base Linux: Redhat Detected Linux Distribution: CentOS Linux Server IP Address: 192.168.40.9 Interface: ens160 Installation Type: Normal Server Donate: 0 Internationalization: 0 Image Storage Location: Using FOG DHCP: Yes DHCP router Address: 192.168.40.1 DHCP DNS Address: 8.8.8.8 -
Are you installing this as a “storage node”, or as a “normal server”?
-
@Tom-Elliott Hi Tom, just a normal server.
-
Was this on a fresh install or update?
-
@Tom-Elliott Hi Tom, fresh installs of both CentOS 7 and Ubuntu 14.04 both.
-
When you set up the OS either Ubuntu or Cent are you creating a user named FOG? If so that could be the issue. FOG creates this user and it should not exist before hand. Try using a different username.
-
Please try updating.
I found a few conflicting entries and made things more streamlined.
Let me know if there’s still an issue. With any luck this change may even fix the Storage Node installation issues
-
@ITSolutions No user called “FOG” or anything like it exists prior to installation. If you take a look at the error message it indicates that installation is complaining that the file /.mntcheck is not there - so the data suggests that this would not be an issue related to an existing user.
-
@Tom-Elliott Definitely gets farther, new failure tho:
-
Press [Enter] key when database is updated/installed.
-
Setting up storage…OK
-
Setting up and starting DHCP Server…/lib/common/functions.sh: line 1464: ${subtract1fromAddress ${interface2broadcast $interface}}: bad substitution
-

Found that issue and fixed it. Thanks for reporting.
Let me know if there’s anything else.
-
@Tom-Elliott Tom, really appreciate the help thus far - thank you! I just did a fresh git pull on the CentOS 7 box after reverting to snapshot and still got the substitution error:
- Setting up and starting DHCP Server…/lib/common/functions.sh: line 1464: ${subtract1fromAddress ${interface2broadcast $interface}}: bad substitution
-
@Tom-Elliott Just tried the Ubuntu VM as well for giggles - same error there unfortunately.
-
@jjml2 please try again. apparently it decided not to push last time around it should be good now.
-
@Tom-Elliott Did a fresh pull and can confirm the install script now finishes successfully on CentOS 7. Will test on the Ubuntu box later just to confirm - but I imagine it will work there now as well. Thanks again for all of the help with this Tom.
