Could not mount images folder (/bin/fog.download)

[arnaudrigole]

Hello Fog Community

I use fog trunk to deploy my images. I encounter an issue when trying to deploy a Windows 7 image on a client, whiches could be deployed last week and worked well. Today, when the download task starts, it displays “mounting file system …OK”
then …
“Could not mount images folder (/bin/fog.download) computer will reboot in a minute”…

My storage is externalized by NFS hosted on a Windows 2008r2 server.
On fog server shell, when i try to type "mount.nfs @ipNFSserver:/images /temp , it say me : mount.nfs: an incorrect mount option was specified (nfs common is installed)

Thank in advance you for your precious help… i can work without FOG need to deploy 5 computers

Bye !

My problem isn’t in that troubleshoot
and my NFS server isn’t an unix one … its windows hosted

[Wayne Workman]

@arnaudrigole Right, it’s on windows, but you still would troubleshoot it using linux - and that guide.

@Wayne-Workman
My setup worked well since a long time ago, i could upload and download images without any problems…

I have no more informations about this issue, no messages in logs, no more info in download debug

@arnaudrigole You did not go through that guide in 2 minutes.

I know wayne, but i really have not the time to read and understand that … i’m not good in english and i need help…

Its like u said me “go study IT and find yourself your problems”
i’ll understand my problem but i need help …

@arnaudrigole Well I’m just going to tell you exactly what’s in the tutorial.

Do a debug deployment for a host.

After the host boots into FOS, press enter a few times. Then try to mount to the storage node’s NFS directory like so:

mkdir /images
mkdir /images/dev
mount -o nolock,proto=tcp,rsize=32768,intr,noatime x.x.x.x:/images /images
mount -o nolock,proto=tcp,rsize=32768,intr,noatime x.x.x.x:/images/dev/ /images/dev

The errors from these steps will lead us to the next step.

@Wayne-Workman
Thank you Wayne
It say me “Invalid Argument” exactly like in fog server shell

[arnaudrigole]

@arnaudrigole
i’ll try to break the nfs share and re set it on my windows server

[Wayne Workman]

@arnaudrigole Invalid argument means you typed it wrong probably. You replaced x.x.x.x with your fog server’s IP?

@arnaudrigole This has nothing to do with your Windows server as far as I can tell.

Could you take a picture of the exact error?

[arnaudrigole]

@Wayne-Workman
Yeah i replaced x.X.X.X with IP but it doesn’t work…

i reseted the nfs share on windows server and it works !

[Wayne Workman]

@arnaudrigole Cool. Glad you got it resolved.
