could not mount images folder (/bin/fog.upload)

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
ls -la /images -

@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.

-
@Trev-lchs Hi George do you think that might reset other things that we had to change since the install?
-
@Trev-lchs what would be the best way to rerun the installer?
-
@Trev-lchs There is a fog settings file that the installer references. So all of those questions the installer asks in the beginning it remembers in that file. If you haven’t “tweaked” the install any the installer won’t change any options you selected in the beginning. If you have changed IP addresses or network adapters after the install the fog installer will reset them to what you originally selected.
to rerun the installer (depending on how you installed it [git or tarball]) change to the fogproject/bin directory and key in
./installfog.shto restart the installer. The installer will fix the directory structure that is missing. -

Hi George i have a feeling it was using git

@george1421 for give me for being needy but i cant seem to find anywhere that has the install file, i think it was installed using GIT.
root@fog-03:~# cd root/fogproject
bash: cd: root/fogproject: No such file or directory

@Trev-lchs how about
find / -name fogproject -

Hi Sebastian thanks for the reply i am running 1.5.7.2 j
Makes me think you have that fogproject directory somewhere since this is the development branch of FOG 1.5.7. If you can’t find it then we’ll just run the git clone and get you up to the latest on the dev branch. No worries, but I’m suspicious how the /images/dev directory is missing and the fogproject directory is missing too.
