Added new storage node - images getting stuck in dev directory

[glienhard]

I have added an iscsi SAN disk and mounted it to /images/archive on the server. I added the .mntcheck files to both the /images/archive and /images/archive/dev directories, changed the owner to fog:root, and set permissions to 777 for all files and directories in the new archive directory. I was able to successfully write an image to the /images/archive/dev/<MAC ADDRESS> but then it is not being moved into the /images/archive directory. I also made sure that the management username and password in the node settings was correct. I can manually ftp into the server and move the folder. Anyone have any ideas?

@glienhard what version of fog? That aside I Believe this to be due to the ftp timeout. This can be changed in fog settings on the GUI.

[glienhard]

I’m using v1.2.0

There is no timeout under tftp in the settings…

@glienhard FOG Web Interface -> FOG Configuration -> FOG Settings -> General Settings -> FOG_FTP_TIMEOUT

[glienhard]

Hi Wayne,

I don’t have FOG_FTP_TIMEOUT under the General Settings.

Then it must be only in FOG Trunk right now (developmental version). Feel free to upgrade to trunk, or you will just have to change the command yourself in the web code if you stay on 1.2.0. And changing it yourself isn’t a big deal, really. You’re just changing a number (or maybe adding an argument to a command).

Here’s the contents of my /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/fogftp.class.php. Post yours and maybe we can figure something out?

Also, I found this on the web concerning the command used. It gives us a base to work from.

[Wayne Workman]

@glienhard Oh well that couldn’t be easier. Change the timeout from 10 to something like 20 or 30.

[glienhard]

@Wayne-Workman Yep saw that myself. Since the iscsi is going across a 1Gbit link I’m changing it to 30 and will try again. I’ll keep you posted. Thanks!

[glienhard]

@Wayne-Workman Still no luck…still stuck in the dev directory.

@Wayne-Workman Still no luck…still stuck in the dev directory.

Can you verify what the root directory is on this SAN disk? Using ftp, change directory to the “root” directory with cd / and take a look around and figure out where you are.

also, to me, it’s just really confusing to have this new storage inside the old one. You can easily mount it to a new directory, something like /SANimages and then just copy/paste the existing entries in /etc/exports so you have a new NFS export called /SANimages, just increment the ID and change the paths.

Just some ideas.

@Tom-Elliott thoughts on why it isn’t working?

[glienhard]

@Wayne-Workman Here is what I have… I have an internal RAID array mounted to /images. Then I have the SAN mounted to /images/archive. (I did this because I thought it would be more friendly to FOG that way.) I can certainly remount the SAN to a different folder and give that a try. (I had had that thought as well.)

Here is what I have in my /etc/exports file:

/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)
/images/archive *(ro,sync,no_wdelay,no_subtree_check,insecure_locks,no_root_squash,insecure,fsid=2)
/images/archive/dev *(rw,async,no_wdelay,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash,insecure,fsid=3)

[Wayne Workman]

@glienhard How about…

/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)
/archive *(ro,sync,no_wdelay,no_subtree_check,insecure_locks,no_root_squash,insecure,fsid=2)
/archive/dev *(rw,async,no_wdelay,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash,insecure,fsid=3)

[glienhard]

@Wayne-Workman I did have the dev directories set to async. I have moved the mount to /img_archive, updated the export file, and trying again.

[Wayne Workman]

@glienhard Update the new storage node too, in the web ui.

[glienhard]

@Wayne-Workman I did update the GUI as well. Unfortunately I’m still getting the same result.

[Tom Elliott]

@glienhard If you’re available, possibly, to do a teamviewer session to try to figure out why it’s not ftping, it’d be really amazing. Just hit me up in chat please (so as not to give out information on people being able to connect.)

[glienhard]

@Tom-Elliott Thank Tom. Just sent you a chat
