Images files duplicating themselves

[Julianh]

I have a fog 1.50 server. It’s been fine, as I’ve just been using it to deploy one set of images. I have a SSD Array for the boot device, and /images.

I found I needed a bit more storage for some odd servers I needed, which could be a slow deployment, so I added a 5TB SATA drive as /images2.

I had to rebuild the images in /images , they are 103 GB in size on the disk, 447GB on the client. They are raw, single disk images.

The problem is I seem to be getting versions of the images on /images in /images2 here’s a copy from putty

image@fog:/images$ ls
dev                Linux-KM-Server5     Server3-VMware6.5

Linux-KM-Server3   Server11-VMware6.5   Temp-S11
Linux-KM-Server4   Server1-VMware6.5    vRoom1-ESXi-Guacamole
image@fog:/images$

The actual directories contain the following;

image@fog:/images$ ls -l Server0-VMware6.5/
total 100958896
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 103381871523 Jun  6 21:04 Server0-VMware6.5.000

image@fog:/images$ ls -l /images2/Server0-VMware6.5/
total 1421388
-rw-r--r-- 1 fog root 1455495892 Mar 21 20:00 Server0-VMware6.5.000
image@fog:/images$

Can anyone guide me as to what’s happening, and what I can delete. I don’t have enough space left to actually image up the servers.

Thanks

A thought, could I have somehow set up the 2 disks are storage nodes reaplicating between themselves?

I’ve had a look but can;t find the option, any suggestions?

Thanks

Julian

@julianh You can test your idea about replication by creating a second storage group then move your /images2 storage node to that second storage group. FOG will only replicate from the master node to storage nodes in the same storage group.

Also what is the output of the df -h command. This will tell us how the file system is configured.

Thanks George,
df -h gives

image@fog:~$ df -h

tmpfs                     1.5G     0  1.5G   0% /run/user/1000

As you can see there’s not a lot of space left on the first drive.
I’ll be using th eimages for the next 3 weeks, even if they are not ideal, so I son’t want to create a new storage group in case I lose the images. the storage groups are;

What would you suggest?
