    @Sebastian-Roth
    I did search a lot about this problem but i didn’t found any solution.
    I’m not working with 3 systems like in your topic. I’m just working with a QNAP that is mounted on the ubuntu fog server. & when i add this storage in the gui , i find it. But once i want to upload an image , it fails.

    I hope you can help me further.
    I’m not that familiar with linux.

    Greetings

      @boeleke You might want to read through this post and we also have an article in the wiki (FreeNAS not QNAP).

      Edit: And maybe try searching the forums for QNAP as well.

      Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

      Please support FOG if you like it: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Support_FOG

          Read closer. I promise your QNAP nas can be a storage node. It’s just a matter of setting up NFS and FTP on it. If you have some time, maybe I can help you via teamviewer so that we can figure it out, and I can later document what we found.

          Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!

              @boeleke Hi, If your NAS is mounted on your FOG server via NFS you can’t re-export it as NFS via FOG server. You have to create a node storage with IP of NAS ans specify NFS and FTP path in the node settings. Before you have to create a user “fog” in your NAS with the same password of the “fog” user of the FOG server.

              When you’ll upload/download image on that node (Your NAS) the fog client will connect directly on your NAS not via your FOG server.

                Hi there ch3i,

                thanks for your answer.
                that was the first thing i tried. I added a user ‘fog’ with the same password on the QNAP.
                Then i added a storage node. But it failed. (See pictures)

                    hi there!
                    I’m not sure , i’m not that familiar with all the NAS-settings.
                    I can acces my NAS on windows with :

                    ftp://172.16.0.17/images

                    & i use the same path for my nfs , isn’t it?

                    Sorry , i’m just a beginner :).

                      @boeleke For QNAP the NFS path seem to be : /share/your_nfs_share but for the ftp access it’s /your_nfs_share. In FOG trunk (https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Upgrade_to_trunk) you can differentiate NFS and FTP path. In your version FTP and NFS path must be the same !

                        hi there.
                        Thank you for the help. I’m working in a school environment & we can’t work with unstable releases.
                        If we want to use it every week , it need to be stable.
                        Is there not another option?

                        Thanks for the help!

                          @boeleke I’m working in a School and use Trunk version 😉 Trunk versions of FOG are “stable”.

                            @ch3i I too am a systems admin at a school, and I’ve been using FOG Trunk for over a year now. It’s much more stable than it used to be. Others here in the corporate world also use FOG Trunk.

                            I would recommend that you setup FOG Trunk on a VM though, and take snapshots before each update - just so you have a safety net.

                            Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!

                              @Wayne-Workman & @ch3i ,

                              Hi there guys,

                              you both convinced me to do this. So i upgraded to Fog Trunk (i can Revert anyway with a snapshot).
                              But now i need your guys help to add this storage node. You got a lot more settings :
                              I’m not sure if its correct now. I mean , the snapin path – must that be a map on the QNAP also?

                              alt text

                              When i use this settings , i get next mistake 👎 😞

                              while upgrading trunk , he said : (Setting up and starting VSFTP server : Failed! )

                              Can you guys help me further?

                              Sorry for my bad english.

                                @boeleke Hi, it’s normal, because your NAS is not a “FOG Storage Node”. A real FOG Storage Node is an installation of FOG on another server with “Node Installation”. You NAS have not the FOG installation. It’s not a problem to upload/download.
                                Tip : If you use multicast your NAS storage node can’t be the master of the group storage.

                                @Tom-Elliott It’s possible to check if the hw.php is present and display a message to indicate that it’s not a normal node ?

                                  Hi Ch3i,
                                  eumh wait. With Multicast you mean , imaging more computer at once? So for example 100 computer with 1 image?
                                  So i need to make a new storage GROUP and link the image with this group?
                                  But how can i image more computers at once then? Just not set it as master node?

                                  I’ll try an upload in a couple of minutes then.

                                      I didn’t test it. But I would say, mount it via linux (ssh into the fog server) and make sure it got the right permissions.

                                        I hope ch3i or Wayne workman can help me. Maybe with teamViewer,
                                        i don’t get this done.

                                          I teamviewed with @ch3i & he did it!
                                          New password , more rights on the QNAP & better settings for the node.

                                          Thank you verry mutch guys! For the patience ;)!
