    Server
    FOG Version: 1.5.9
    OS: Ubuntu Server 20.04 (With GUI)

    Client
    Microsoft Surface 7 Pro (using a dock to connect to the network)

    Description
    I set up a new FOG server to quick deploy images. These machines will be seen once and never again. A client can successfully PXE boot to the server and I am able to capture the image without issues.

    When I attach a new computer (unregistered) and attempt to deploy the image I am presented with the following errors:

    * Checking Mounted File System.................................Failed
    #####################

      At first when reading this I got tangled up with the “Invalid MAC” error. But digging through the code I think the above error is actually what we need to look at. Seems like your image directory wasn’t setup correctly when installing FOG. I kind of wonder you don’t have issue capturing an image. Please run the following commands and post full output here:

      mount
      ls -al /images/
      ls -al /images/dev/
      

      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)

        The image path could very well be the issue. I did have to tangle with permissions on the mount because I am using a secondary hard drive for the /images directory. I went full on and set chmod 777 on the directories. I changed the ownership as well.

        Here’s the output:

          dev/sdb on /images type ext4 (rw,relatime)

          Ok, you moved your images to a secondary disk. That’s all fine but you simply missed one file we use to check. Run this command to recreate it: touch /images/.mntcheck

          After that just do your deployments.

          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)

            Well now, I’m quite the knucklehead. I created the .mntcheck file in the /images/dev directory but I never did for the /images directory.

            It works perfectly now.

            Thank you so much for your time with this.

              I know that this is an old thread but please can a moderator link this to?

              https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/12838/change-the-default-images-location

              I found the former by Google and this fixed my installation.

              Please feel free to delete my comment. I wont be offended!

              Thanks.
