PXE image looping

I know its probably too late, but I would have done the /opt mount point instead of /opt/fog/images.

It’s not too late. I’d say go back and do it right.

@george1421 I haven’t gone any farther than the pic. Waiting to make sure I do this right.

@ManofValor Ok then just change the mount point to /opt and you should be good to go.

Linux (*nix) is a bit confusing for the windows folks. As windows gets older it gets more features like *nix. This whole mount point is cool once you understand it. Its a bit like what DFS is but on a local hard drive concept. You can traverse between hard drives or network shares for that matter, but just changing to a different directory. From the UI level there is no drive or d: drive. The d: drive would just be mounted to a directory and you would change into that directory for data to go onto the d: drive.

@george1421 Why using /opt/fog/images? As Wayne already said: “I would prefer though to mount the 2nd hdd to /images because /opt/fog/images is a deviation from the expected.” Both will work, but sticking with the default (/images) might be wise as well. @ManofValor Up to you.

@Sebastian-Roth The logic is that the snapins (which could also be huge) would not be captured if only /images were mounted over on the new disk. My preference would be to keep EVERYTHING fog related in /opt/fog. (But I’m one of those type ‘A’ people, so that that for what it is. )

@Sebastian-Roth Seeing that I am an infant (maybe a toddler by now) with this stuff I just went with a recommendation/suggestion.

Ok, so CentOS is installed. We’ve done so much I just wanna make sure I take the right steps again. I just go straight to installing fog trunk right?

Give it a go I’d say. Make sure your internet connection is fine so that kernel and init files are properly downloaded.

Easier said than done. You might want to shoot him a PM. Poor guy keeps having a lot of network issues. I did some troubleshooting and I think his router isn’t letting the fog server’s traffic get out. He says there is no proxy but I’m not so sure about that.

@Wayne-Workman I’ve checked and asked my boss, who built our system from the ground up, and we are not behind a proxy.
