Image Capture fails at the last stage when renaming /images/dev/<mac> and create an empty file

Re: Image Capture Hanging on "Cloned Successfully"

When capturing an image, the initial NFS mount and image capture is successful. However, the captured files in /images/dev/<mac-address> are owned by root:root.

When the FOG process uses FTP to rename the created image to the “imaged name” specified. It fails, perhaps because it logs in as fogproject. To avoid making the /images directory universally writable (which causes the empty file creation, but does not rename the directory), one must change the ownership of NFS mounted /images/dev directory. To do so the /etc/exports file entry should be corrected to:
/images *(ro,sync,no_wdelay,subtree_check,insecure_locks,all_squash,anonuid=1001,anongid=1001,fsid=0)
/images/dev *(rw,async,no_wdelay,subtree_check,insecure_locks,all_squash,anonuid=1001,anongid=1001,fsid=1)

This way, on the client side the directory is mounted as user 1001:1001 (fogproject:fogproject). If your UID/GID are different for fogproject user, make the correction as needed. This will allow the ftp process on behalf of fogproject user to complete without a problem.
