FOG: 1.5.4 -> How to setup NAS - Synology DiskStation as Master Node

[george1421]

@george1421 After thinking about this I looked at my tutorial on setting up a synology nas as a storage node and my guess in the previous post was correct, the FTP path should just be /images as seen in this post: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/9430/synology-nas-as-fog-storage-node/28

Hello George

Actually it was the path in ftp Path.
My image capture works. and I thank you very much.
now I meet the problem attached when downloading the image : - /

@jeremyvdv But this part worked before. This is the NFS side. The image was getting to the NAS but it was failing to move to the /images2 directory. That was/is an FTP issue. Now its failing to upload the image, which is an nfs issue.

Ah, I see it. From my notes I have your nas at IP 10.1.5.8 your storeIP is 10.16.3.129 your fog server. Did you change the storage node configuration? Your nas server needs to be the master in the storage group. Here is the kernel line you collected from the debug session I saved.

cat /proc/cmdline
loglevel=4 initrd=init.xz root=/dev/ram0 rw ramdisk_size=275000 web=http://10.16.3.129/fog/ consoleblank=0 rootfstype=ext4 mac=30:8d:99:14:a4:e6 
ftp=10.1.5.8 storage=10.1.5.8:/volume1/images2/dev/ storageip=10.1.5.8 osid=5 irqpoll hostname=LP0045 chkdsk=0 
img=test10 imgType=n imgPartitionType=all imgid=5 imgFormat=5 PIGZ_COMP=-10 hostearly=1 pct=5 
ignorepg=1 isdebug=yes type=up

See how it differs from the picture you posted?

I did not change anything at the storage level …

And I have never tested the download of an image since I have never been able to create until now

@jeremyvdv Ah, OK I missed in the screen shot the type=down.

Then what its doing is picking the FOG server as the download node. If you go into the storage configuration and pick the default storage node (the fog server) change the max clients field to 0. Make sure the max clients field on the NAS is set to something higher than 0 (10 is default).

[jeremyvdv]

ok I try max client on fog a 0 and on the nas a 10 … I keep you informed.
Thank you

Hello
so I check the parameters but I still have the same problem.

[jeremyvdv]

Hello

Do you have an idea @george1421 Georges for my problem?

Thank you

[george1421]

@jeremyvdv I’m sorry I don’t have a good answer for you. With the fog server max clients at 0 and other nodes greater than 0, the code should use the available storage nodes and not the FOG server for image delivery.
