FOG /image storage

[alansopro]

I’m now having issues with the /image storage.

I put an additional 500GB drive into the system and mounted the drive under /images/EXT

When changing the default storage node path it seems permissions need to be updated to allow FOG to use the new drive. I keep getting permissions errors. When looking at what the /images/ folder is its set to user #777 which doesn’t seem to exist. Do you guys have a way of doing this? I’m sure it’s pretty easy and I’m just missing something.

sudo chmod -R 777 /images
sudo chown -R fog:root /images
sudo mkdir /images/dev
sudo touch /images/.mntcheck
sudo touch /images/dev/.mntcheck
sudo chmod -R 777 /images

You also need to update /opt/fog/.fogsettings images path if I’m not mistaken. Assuming you want this to be your default image storage location and what not.

After running those commands I’m still getting Permission Denied.

What I currently have is 2 Physical Drives. I have the /images under the main which only has 50GB of space and isn’t able to hold more than 1 image.

The other drive I used

mount --bind /media/EXT /images/EXT

I updated the Storage node to reflect /images/EXT and doesn’t seem to be working. Although after running those commands it updated the /images folder to something else so I’m not sure if that folder works now either. The password in the storage node is correct.

Dude, I missed the EXT part.

SO:

sudo chmod -R 777 /images/EXT
sudo mkdir /images/EXT/dev
sudo touch /images/EXT/.mntcheck
sudo touch /images/EXT/dev/.mntcheck
sudo chmod -R 777 /images
sudo chown -R fog:root /images/EXT

Edit the /etc/exports file to change the path and restart the NFS Server once the file is saved.

Okay. That fixed it. I had already modified what you told me to type. I just never did the /etc/exports. Once I did that it all worked.

Thank you!
