About the storage for fog server in Ubuntu

[Sebastian Roth]

@weidongyan Ok, I see, you decided to use ZFS. You should be able to adjust the mount point of that ZFS storage pool following the instructions here: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19253-01/819-5461/gaztn/index.html

As well please run zpool status and post output here.

~$ zfs get mountpoint storage-pool 
NAME          PROPERTY    VALUE       SOURCE
storage-pool  mountpoint  /images     local


~$ zpool status
  pool: storage-pool
 state: ONLINE
  scan: none requested
config:

	NAME          STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM
	storage-pool  ONLINE       0     0     0
	  raidz1-0    ONLINE       0     0     0

	    sdd       ONLINE       0     0     0

errors: No known data errors

Did I succeed to mount the pool?

@george1421 Hi, George. Right now I found that the directory /images has been created and fog server has been installed. Is there any way to fix this to use the storage pool that I created? I did not mount the volume before the installation of fog server.

@weidongyan So what does dh -h show at the moment?

@george1421 I realized that I mounted the storage-pool after the installation of fog server and the /images has some folders there before I mounted. Should I uninstall fog server to start again?

[george1421]

@weidongyan Well I don’t see your storage pool mounted anywhere.

What does lsblk show?

Wait you change the post I see the /images mounted now. Rerun the fog installer with the /images mounted now. That should fix the /images directory.

[george1421]

After the fog installer is complete run this command ls -la /images and post the results here.

@weidongyan ok that’s good. The FOG images directory is setup correctly. Now as long as after a reboot the /images directory is mounted then you should be good to go.

[weidongyan]

@george1421 thank you for the help.
