Unable to move /images/dev/macaddress to images/name-of-image

[Tom Elliott]

Does images/name-of-change already exist on the server?

[jsi33]

i tried again to upload and it did not work

[jsi33]

no it does not

[Tom Elliott]

Can you manually FTP the images/dev/macaddress to images/name-of-image?

Mine was doing this, I went through everything and I knew everything was perfect. What it ended up being was these new advanced format drives. I tried an old drive, imaged like a champ. Any newer drive will not image at all. I was getting the messages saying it could not move the image.

So what is the status of 4k drives guys?

Any update/work around on this? I have 125 laptops ready to deploy…

Have you gave the latest 33b release a try? It uses part clone which will work with 4k drives. Also you could use raw image in .32 but it’s very slow.

I’m having a similar issue. I’ve been running fog 0.32 on Ubuntu server 12.04 (kernel 3.5.0-45) for about 9 months but recently i started having problems.

Image uploads are starting and apparently completing fine (the uploading client finishes and give a Task Completed message) but then the machine does not shutdown or reboot. Instead, it begins displaying an asterisk every 5 seconds or so.

The active task in “Task Managment” does not complete, and the image (in /images/dev/macaddress) does not get moved to /images/imagename

I thought this was related to the drive in the first machine being an AF (4k) drive, but I tried again on an older model which i’ve successfully imaged in the past and it’s now doing the same.

The image folder permissions are 777 and the user and group are fog:root. I’ve verified that the tftp credentials in fog settings are correct.

Any ideas?

Thanks

check the actual config file and make sure your tftp/ftp username and password are set correctly in /var/www/fog/commons/config.php

Then try resetting the password for the unix user fog:
sudo passwd fog

then enter your password twice as it shows in the config file.

Tried this, same results.

The username and password settings dealing with images should be under the Storage Management Page.

Choose All Nodes, select your node, Management Username and Management Password.

Verify that they are set properly. These should be set to the local fog user account on the fog server (unless your storage node is separate from your fog server).

Made sure that the node user/pass, tftp user/pass, and linux user/pass were the same. My Fog server is now back in business.

Thanks!
