Modify path /images to /home ???

Wayne Workman · Feb 26, 2015, 6:07 PM

It might be possible to shrink the /home directory, and then expand the / directory.

I’m not entirely sure about Debian, but I know that in Fedora 21, you can choose the sizes of the directories during installation. During my installation, I just went ahead and created the /images directory right then and there, and gave it a ton of space.

This page may also be helpful. It talks about re-sizing directories without data loss.

Thanks guys for your help.

I tell them to Reproduce researching and already solved the problem momentarily.

I tell them how I did it:

I went to Storage Management Page, and modify the path where I kept the pictures / images to / home / images and longer stay.

Now I have another little problem … when you are creating the image of the host, I get a sign saying:

FATAL ERROR: FAILED TO MOUNT NFS VOLUME

I could help with this ???

Thank you very much to all !!!

What is the version of Debian?
What version of FOG?

Copied from Tom’s Posts:

does
/data/images/.mntcheck and /data/images/dev/.mntcheck exist?
Are the permissions as: chmod -R 777 /data/images?

selinux disabled?

rpcbind running?

What’s the boot file look like? in a browser, Replace <ipoffogserver> & <macaddressofclientintask> with appropriate data. Mac addresses include colons.
This is the address:

Please post your FOG install log.

I tell them, turned to leave the path / images in the Storage Management and I believe smoothly image …

To change the / images for / home / images try to mount the / home / images in / images and here is where I throw permission denied.

As achieve that images are stored in / home / images ???

Thank you very much !!!

Eze84d · Mar 2, 2015, 4:49 PM

Any idea how to do this ??? Some guidance or help ??? I hope your answers !!! Thank you very much !!!

Tom Elliott · Mar 2, 2015, 4:53 PM

I tried helping, but I don’t know the exact issue. Is FOG able to mount the NFS or not? What’s in the /etc/exports file?

Is the nfs service running? Is it exporting the filesystems properly? What have you done?

Sebastian Roth · Mar 2, 2015, 9:30 PM

If you wonder about how to test mounting NFS from another computer, see here:

Eze84d · Mar 6, 2015, 12:48 AM

Well, what I need to do is the following:

I need to add a new path for saving the images, it must be / home / Fog / image.

I add in Storage Management, but does not allow me to modify “Management username” and “Management passwords”, I understand that here I put the user and pass the TFTP not?

Ultimately I would need to explain how to create a new path for saving the images.

Thank you very much !!!

scoude · Jul 7, 2021, 4:02 PM

Hi everybody,

I have a 1.5.5 Fog version on Debian 9.3. By default, my images storage directory was /images.

And my wish was to put images on new directory /var/images (/var is mount on LVM mapper…).

So here are the actions I done :
1/ create a /var/images directory
2/ set good rights and owner for this new directory (see /images rights)
3/ move all files from /images to /var/images (be careful to move all files : with dot, etc.; ls -la to be sure !)
4/ connect to database with mysql client and change path :

use fog;
update nfsGroupMembers set ngmRootPath='/var/images/';
update nfsGroupMembers set ngmFTPPath='/var/images/';

5/ change path in /etc/exports :

/var/images *(ro,sync,no_wdelay,no_subtree_check,insecure_locks,no_root_squash,insecure,fsid=0)                                                                                                                                                                                
/var/images/dev *(rw,async,no_wdelay,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash,insecure,fsid=1)

6/ apply nfs changes :

exportfs -ra

That’s all !
