could not mount images folder (/bin/fog.upload)
-
@Trev-lchs Ok seems like you use Ubuntu or Debian. Which Version??
Firewall seems off. Can you please take a picture of the error on the screen where it fails. Guess we are missing some information here.
-
we can deploy images correctly though, just not upload them
-
@Trev-lchs Deploy via multicast or on single machines. Please provide all the information requested!
-
@Sebastian-Roth to 10 or more PCs please see the attached picture of the error
-
@Sebastian-Roth i mean 10 or less at once, not more.
-
@Sebastian-Roth I seem to remember that fog stopped working after an unbuntu update, the webpage would not work and system locked up when rebooted as they could not get the ipex file i seem to remember a thread call Unbuntu updates the ememy of fog
-
@Sebastian-Roth this one https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/10006/ubuntu-is-fog-s-enemy/22?lang=en-US&page=2
I think i would have followed those instructions, could this be the issue?
-
@Trev-lchs Its probably not the ubuntu enemy post. That would deal with database issues. This appears to be an nfs issue.
What is the output of
showmount -e 127.0.0.1alsoip addr showEdit: OK looking at previous posts I see the showmount command being issued. So lets try something else (in next post)

Is the target (pxe booting) computer on the same IP subnet as the fog server? The question is around if there are any screening routers or firewalls between the two devices.
We may need to setup a debug deploy test. This is where you schedule a capture but before hitting the schedule task button you tick the debug checkbox. Then schedule the task. PXE boot the target computer and it will boot into the debug console. You will have several screens of text you need to clear by pressing the enter key. Eventually you will be dropped to a linux command prompt. This is the FOS Linux debug environment. At this point we need to key in a few commands.
The first will be a ping to see if the target computer and ping the fog server by its IP address.
These next steps are optional but will help with copy and pasting into the debug console. These next few steps will allow you to connect to the target computer using putty or ssh. From putty or ssh you can paste in the mount command exactly without having to key it in. These commands need to be executed on the target computer not the FOG server.
Setting up a remote debugging session to FOS Linux.
- At the FOS Linux command prompt key in
ip addr showand get the IP address of the target computer. - Give the root user a known password with
passwdThis will be a one time password so make it simple likehello - From a putty or ssh session connect to the target computer using the IP address collected in step 1.
- Login as root with the password you set in step 2
From there lets issue these two commands. The first will create the /images directory on the target computer and the second will map the share on the fog server to the target computer’s mount point.
mkdir /imagesmount -o nolock,proto=tcp,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,intr,noatime "10.10.1.26:/images/dev" /images
That should connect the directory. If it connects without error issue this command and post the results (note you can copy and paste from putty)
ls -la /images - At the FOS Linux command prompt key in
-
yes the PC is on the same subnet as fog.
-
@Trev-lchs I’ve added some additional comments to my previous post.

@george1421 Thanks George, just going though everything, I will be a while with the results as i have to be in a meeting at 13:00

@Trev-lchs On your FOG server console please run these commands and post output here:
ls -al /images mount -
@Trev-lchs Ok on the fog server

@Trev-lchs Well right there is your problem. Your /images directory isn’t complete on the fog server. You are missing the /images/dev and its files. How did you install the FOG server? Did you do something special when creating the /images directory?
-
no not at all, it used to work brilliantly, those images were all uploaded before with no issues, the only thing that has happened is the updates and the work around that i have already posted?
-
@Trev-lchs ok lets rerun the fog installer to see if it rebuilds the /images/dev directory.
