Solved Fatal Error: Failed to Mount NFS Volume

[michaeloberg]

Sorry methods, not versions. Not sure if this helps at all but when I try to do a full host registration it fails, says attempting to send to inventory…

Never does.

I see there is 4 different versions available, how can I tell which one will be best for our environment, also being new to Linux are the commands on the Wiki the exact syntax I will type in an SSH session with the command interface?

I should clarify here, there is only one “Latest Trunk” version of FOG. there are many revisions, but only one “Latest”.

However, there are many methods to GET the latest trunk version.

I’d recommend using the SVN method. This might be a little more clear: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/SVN#Ubuntu

Would you be willing to upgrade to Trunk to see if this resolves your problem?

[Wayne Workman]

can you post the output of this? it’s your exports config file.

[CODE]cat /etc/exports[/CODE]

[michaeloberg]

Did the following, didn’t notice any errors attached is a screen shot

[Wayne Workman]

[CODE]sudo service nfs-kernel-server restart
sudo service idmapd restart[/CODE]

If it starts correctly, you shouldn’t get any errors. If you get errors, be sure to post those.

Also, to check if you’ve got .mntcheck where it should be:
[CODE]ls -laR /images | grep .mntcheck[/CODE]
That should give you TWO listings of .mntcheck

Unbuntu 12.04
Is this what you need? I ran this command to get this information:
lsb_release -irc

I need to admit, I am new in my role and the guy here at the school left before I started. When I click the question mark from the console it says this:

Version 1.2.0
Your Version of FOG is up to date

How do I check if NFS is running? I am also not a Linux expert. How do I tell what Version of the Kernel or Colonel I am using and the .mntcheck is present. I was able to upload two other images today.

To give you exact steps, we need to know what Linux OS you’re running.

The distribution and version.

[Wayne Workman]

you might also ensure .mntcheck is in /images/dev and /images also.

What version of fog are you using also what version of Colonel are you using?

[Wayne Workman]

Maybe NFS isn’t running on your FOG server? Restart the NFS service.

What version of FOG? What version of Linux?

Maybe double check your exports configuration.
