After Adding Storage for Images / deploy image mounting failed

@george1421
Im wondering if its not anything to do with FOG?
It gets to the preparing Partition layout and then prompts:

---

**An error has occurred.

No errors seem to be in the parameters.
The parameters all seem good

@sourceminer Not exactly sure but maybe the duplicated fsid=X parameter in your /etc/exports is causing the issue.

@sebastian-roth
OMG that was it!!
Thank you…

fsid=X

I totally overlooked that. Great catch because the file systems seem to be setup correctly from a file permissions standpoint.

Ok so I was able to deploy 1 image.
Captured a new image and trying to deploy it (from the same storage group) Getting same error again…

You get the same error on capture or capture and deploy?

If you look into /images2/dev do you see a directory with a mac formatted name? If you look at /images/dev do you see this directory? You should only see a mac address looking directory when you are doing an active upload to the fog server. Any other times that is an indication of a botched upload.

You are still getting a permission denied message?

@george1421
I captured the image no problem.
Im getting the error on deploying the image.
Neither directory has a formatted Mac name
I don’t see anything saying permission denied… just the same message above “Unable to locate image store (/bin/fog.download)”

[sourceminer]

@george1421
OK sorry, I just noted that the capture never completed… its starting over again.
Going to watch to see what happens.

[sourceminer]

OK Confirmed its all working as expected. The Ultimate solution was the duplicate fsid=x issue.
Perhaps flag the wiki document on installing additional storage pools to ensure that the fsid=x value is not duplicated from a copy and paste.

@sourceminer Interesting I think the wiki pages needs to be updated to based on my tutorial here: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/10450/adding-additional-image-storage-space-to-fog-server/2

I specifically do mention changing the fsid.

@george1421
Yes your Tutorial is spot on.

One thing I have observed though, is if you reinstall Fog (I did this morning troubleshooting the Secure boot post) I noted that the exports file is replaced with default. I lost all my settings from prior. I had to append the file.

Yes I saw this too when I was developing NFSv4 for FOG. That uses a really different exports file. So now I keep a exportfs.sav file with the correct settings in case I forget in the future.
