Pigz abort

Something odd looks to be happening. The Image File size says that it’s only 3.97 GB, but the data that’s being copied is 173.88 GB? Does that sound right to you? It looks like it’s copying the image file size (3.97GB) then aborting the upload because it’s reached the file size. What if you try creating a new image with Multiple Partition, All Disks Non-resizeable. Then assign that image to the machine, then try to upload?
-
Actually, the “Image file size” continues to grow in size. Just did the all disk option, same (similar) results.
-
Can you try a system with a smaller image/partition table? Maybe even a different system altogether? This will let you know if it’s the system, or your fog server that can’t handle the issue.
Also, are you sure you have 1.2 T available? This sounds like your storage location is full.
-
Yes, Tom, I think that is part of the problem. I’ve looked at the server settings, but I don’t see where it’s misconfigured. The strange thing is that previously I didn’t have any problems; it’s worked great for more than 18 months or so. I guess I got smacked by an update or two.

From the sounds of it, your storage node is full which would explain why it stops imaging at, very nearly, the same point every time. Maybe try adding some storage space, if you can, or add another storage node that has the space available on it.
-
I’ve checked the disks, and they look good. /storage shows 1.2T Available (and / shows 120 G available)
Somehow, the system doesn’t register what’s available. Any ideas where to look on the server? I’ve already looked up the Storage Management -> All Storage Nodes and double checked those settings, along with the config in /opt/fog/service/etc/config.php and /var/www/fog/commons/config.php.
Would the memory_limit, post_max_size, and upload_max_filesize all set at 1900M in /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini cause a problem? (I tried to image a 325 G drive today and I still ran into a problem…)
Thanks,
Chuck -
Does your fog server actually use /storage as the location for the images? Or is it the typical /images directory setup. If it’s /images, it’s trying to use your root system (120G) to store more than that worth of data which would fail. A bypass to that would be to move /images to /storage then link /storage/images to /images which could be done with->
mv /images /storage; ln -s /storage/images /
You wouldn’t have to make any configuration changes then. The other thing to check would be the /etc/exports file to see what your NFS system is trying to mount to store the image. My guess is it’s actually mounting /images even if your configuration is pointing to /storage
To fix that, you’d simply change the file reference to /storage and /storage/dev (assuming that’s how your system is setup)
Also check your .mntcheck files to see that they exist. They don’t actually contain information, but they need to be present. Make sure they exist by typing:
touch /images/.mntcheck; touch /images/dev/.mntcheck; touch /storage/.mntcheck /storage/dev/.mntcheck
chmod -R +x /images; chmod -R +x /storage
Of course remove the items you don’t need as I don’t know what your particular setup requires.
Then try again.
-
One last note,
If you do end up changing the /etc/exports file, make sure to restart the NFS server.
I think a simple:
/etc/init.d/nfs restart
will do the trick. -
Hey Tom,
Yes, I do have everything pointing to /storage… actually /storage/images, and when I try to create new images, the new files are written there. For example, when creating the all disk image you suggested it did the following:
/storage/images/4300AllDisk contains: d1.mbr, d1p1.img, d1p2.img, d1p3.img, d1p4.imgThe only thing is that d1p2.img is only 2G for a 456.7 G partition.
(I’ve checked /images and the only files there are the /dev directory and the .mntcheck file)
.mntcheck is present in /storage/images and set to 777 root:root
Oh, and /etc/exports looks ok to me with:
/storage/images *(ro,sync,no_wdelay,insecure_locks,no_root_squash,insecure)
/storage/images/dev *(rw,sync,no_wdelay,no_root_squash,insecure)Thanks again,
Chuck -
Then the next question is … Is /storage a raid system with a possible bad drive? I don’t know what else to check then and I’m sorry.
-
Thanks, Tom! That may very well be the problem. It appears I’m getting conflicting data…
vgdisplay shows only 68.70 GB free, while df -h shows 1.2 T available.-Chuck

So is /storage a part of an LVM?
What is the output of vgdisplay?

Here’s what my output looks like!

Do you know of any tools to test the disks within the LVM to find out if your disks are okay?
-
pvck & vgck ? Right now, I replaced one of the drives on sda5, and one of the drives on sdb1. They will need some time to rebuild.
-
Well, I hope this works for you. I’m sorry I wasn’t much help, but it sounds like it was probably just a bad drive causing all of this headache. To test, while this one is rebuilding, do you have another storage node that has enough space that you could test with?
-
Hey Tom, I appreciate you going through all the steps with me. I just wanted to rule out something silly that I may have missed. I’m currently waiting to see if I can establish another storage node.
-Chuck -
Have you had any luck, or is it still rebuilding?
-
I’m uploading an image right now. Built a new simple (no bonding, no LVM, simple partitioning with default /images) VM Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS with Fog 0.32 on a 200 GB drive.
The really funny thing is, it still reads:
“Available space for image:…1.66 GiB = 1778888704 bytes”
