Fog server keeps going down

For better or worse here, I have to be the voice of reason: At some point (in the near future) you have to make a decision to continue down the path to try to fix this install, or just abandon it and spin up a new fog instance and manually copy the files across.
IMHO, not having the root password is reason enough…

@george1421 The problem isn’t getting the new OS installed, I have a NAS that also needs to be attached that Tom spent some time with me to get set up properly. If it was that simple I wouldn’t have even bothered to worry about it. The install of the OS was fine for about 5 months and then randomly this issue started occurring.
-
@szecca1 The synology NAS? FOG now fully supports those. No need for symbolic links or anything anymore.
-
@Wayne-Workman If thats what you guys are recommending me do then fine I can do that. But what OS should I use? I don’t want to use Fedora and then have someone else tell me I should have used something else
-
@szecca1 How about do nothing for the moment… The server was not crashed this morning. Let it go. See what happens.
The below script and cronjob was just for information collecting.
Plus you can always just manually monitor

Right now I’m not saying do or don’t start over. But this has been an issue for 11 days now. What is going on is not normal. There is something wrong with this build. It could be that you are using a NAS for storage for FOG (I simply don’t know since I have not setup this situation). All I’m saying at some time in the (near) future you will need to deiced to just “cut bait” and start over or continue on and spend more time on this and not on deployment.

@Wayne-Workman You tell me. I am relying on you guys as I am still learning this. I can let it go and see if the issue is resolved or comes back over the next few days.
-
@george1421 I would agree with you, I just wanted to see your guys opinion as I am just following instructions at this point. Its frustrating because I dont know this very well and you guys have been very helpful. Whatever you guys recommend is what I will do, I just want to make sure its the best option

@szecca1 Have you looked at the VMWare settings that @cml posted? It might not even be a linux issue. I originally thought it was a VMWare issue. Has there been any major changes 11 to 15 days ago? These questions were never answered. And if it’s not a Linux problem, then rebuilding the server won’t help.
-
@Wayne-Workman As far as my boss is telling me, nothing has changed over the past two weeks with VMWare. Right now fog is working perfectly and will keep an eye out. I may not see an issue until monday where it’ll have two days to error or or whatever it is doing. Only then will I truly know if something is still wrong
-
@szecca1 Updates on this? How was it this morning? How is the web interface performing? Well?
-
Well… if we didn’t hear from him this morning, that probably means the FOG server stayed up all week. Thread solved.
