      @mikmatcr How familiar are you with linux? Linux is not like windows in that it doesn’t have the concept of different disks (i.e. 😄 😧 etc). In linux (UNIX) it has a single file system, where you can connect different disks (or network shares) to different folders (directory mount points). You can traverse between disks just like changing directories.

      So if you want to have disk 1 as the system disk and disk 2 for images that can be done pretty easy (relatively), with no changes to FOG’s configuration.

      The basic steps are to create a disk partition on disk 2 (/dev/sdb), then format it. Then connect that disk to a temporary location in the directory and move the contents of your /images directory to this new disk. Then finally unmount the disk temporarily and then reconnect the new disk to the /images directory.

      I think I have a step by step tutorial on this. Let me check.

      What host OS is the FOG server using?

      [Edit] Here is a step by step, but only execute it up to and including step 7. After step 7 we will change it up a bit. https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/11048/moving-fog-s-images-files-off-the-root-partition-2017-edition

      Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!

        @george1421 My knowledge in Linux is too basic. The server has Ubuntu 18

          @mikmatcr Do you have the new drive installed in your fog server now?

          If so switch over to root with sudo su -i then key in lsblk and post the results here.

              @mikmatcr Ok no problem. Get the second hard drive installed in the server than we can walk you through the setup. It might take about 20 minutes to setup. Not to bad if you can copy and paste commands.

                  @mikmatcr Ok I see you have 2 disks installed (via the lsblk) command. That second disk appears to have some data on it. Was that your intention?

                      @mikmatcr ok what I would do is run fdisk from command prompt

                      sudo fdisk /dev/sdb
                      
                      d
                      p
                      2
                      
                      d
                      p
                      1
                      
                      w
                      e
                      

                      Note it may be q to quit and not e to exit. I did that from memory.

                      That should delete both partitions and write them back to the disk.

                      Now you can start with the instructions https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/11048/moving-fog-s-images-files-off-the-root-partition-2017-edition up to and including step 7. That will create a new partition and then format it. Once you have it formatted then we can go through the steps to copy the files over and then remap the drive.

                        @mikmatcr Did you get your disk setup or do you still need help with this?

                        Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)
