Trying to access /images on deploy-debug

[lcis]

Hello,

I’m using Deploy-debug function on a computer, and I wanted to access my postdownloadscripts to do some debugging (I have some scripts that update the grub after deployment that does not work completely).

So I tried to mount $storage with mount -t nfs $storage /mnt
It gives me “Connection refused”

I tried mount -t nfs $storage /mnt -v for more verbose info, but still showed same message

On the server side though, I see no error. In /var/log/syslog it shows :

I then added a line in /etc/exports with :
/images/postdownloadscripts *(rw,sync,no_subtree_check,fsid=0,insecure)

and used the command exportfs -rav

Then tried to mount again with :
mount -o vers=4 172.20.40.202:/postdownloadscripts /mnt
And then it worked.

For curiosity, why couldn’t I mount $storage ?

Thanks in advance for your answer

While debugging your post install script, use debugPause to put a break point in your code. Put an echo statement in just before the debugPause to say “Stop me here”. So when you are debug executing your deployment, when you get to “Stop me here” press ctrl-C to exit the fog script. Now run the set command and confirm where $storage is pointing to.

Also side note, I always set $variable using ${variable} so the bash interpeter really knows what I want as a variable.

When you hit the ctrl-c that should be the exact state of the machine. The /images directory on the FOS target computer should already be mapped to the FOG server /images directory at this point (during the execution of the postinstallscript)
