@ManofValor Need more information! Image type? OSID? Full output of
ls -al /images/MCWP82
on the FOG server? -
@Sebastian-Roth
Image type-Single Disk - Re-sizable
OSID-How do I find that? I’m very new to linux

@Sebastian-Roth @Wayne-Workman @george1421 @Tom-Elliott I think I know what the problem might be. It’s trying to upload the image to /images/ but when I setup the partitioning I set it up to go to /opt/fog/images, per one of the moderators suggestion. Am I right and if I am how do I get the FOG server to do it right.
I don’t know what I’m doing so this could just be mumbo jumbo. -
I may have told you half of the path you need to follow in the previous post. Since then I did write a kb article on this https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/6642/moving-fog-s-images-files-off-the-root-partition
What I found out during writing this is that the FOG client has a few hard coded paths where it MUST have the /images folder. So I worked out a way to move the images files yet retain the /images folder. You probably want to pick up at step 17. And then also check through your fog configuraiton to make the storage node and fog configuraiton settngs are pointing to /image again. Moving all of the files to the /opt partition IS the right move, just the path to do this ran through some bumps. I can say I AM using the path as defined in the kb article on my production fog server and it does run without issue.
-
@ManofValor No I think things are ok for you. Just try
ls -al /opt/fog/images/MCWP82
The OSID you can see in the image management in your FOG web interface. Sorry, the setting is actually just called “Operating System”…

Would you happen to know where those are? I’d like for them to be fixed.

The first thing I noticed was the installer didn’t ask me where I wanted my images when I installed my production server a few weeks ago. Then in the inits I found hard coded references to /images. So I assumed that having a relocatable /image directory was no longer an option. SO I had to find/make a work around. My kb article does just this. It lets FOG have the /images folder that I bind mounted to /opt/fog/images.
I just had a chat session with ManofValor and he is through the kb. He had to take a lunch break but we will do some final checks and he should be good to go.

@george1421 The init’s do not hardcode the reference to /images.
/images, within the init, is a folder that the NFS mount’s TO. (Hopefully that makes sense.)
-
@Tom-Elliott Ah, ok. I stand (sit) corrected then. Either way, using a bind mount does what is needed without having to tweak the FOG setup one bit (since everything is done at the OS level). So it was worth the time to document.

I just hit this exact error with an image of Ubuntu that I captured yesterday.
The images name is
Optiplex_7010_Ubuntu
Looking through the permissions of the images, I see this:

See? It’s not a directory, but instead is a file. And the permissions are messed up too.
I’m not sure if it’s related but I did find a straggling image in the /images/dev folder with a MAC on it. I already deleted it earlier today but I’m wondering if that was the recent Ubuntu image I uploaded.
-
I took him to completion of the moving the images file and as far as I can tell the system is setup correctly, but he is still getting the error in the original post.
-
ok, I went back to fog management and deleted everything for this client and started over. i got through to the blue screen with red progress bars and it went really quick. It rebooted and then I got:
“Boot device not found”
Please install an operating system on your hard disk
Hard disk (3F0)
F2 system diagnostics
I have been getting this since the beginning. Ive had to reinstall win 7 3-4 times
-
Interesting. It looks like you are deploying the image. Can you confirm that in /image/mcwp82 you have files in there (with the understanding that /images is being mapped to /opt/fog/images now).
-
@george1421 Yes, it is there.
-
@ManofValor Is it a file or is it a directory?
What’s the output of:
ls -lhRart /opt/fog/images

@ManofValor Something seams wrong with that image! Does it only have one partition (d1p1.img) - sure possible. But the image being only 337 KB in size is very unlikely I’d say. Did you see something going wrong when uploading the image?
Please post the output of the following command:
cat /opt/fog/images/MCWP82/d1.partitions
As well please check if your images directory is configured properly throughout FOG:
- FOG web interface, Storage Management
- NFS shares (
cat /etc/exports
)
-
[root@localhost bin]# cat /opt/fog/images/MCWP82/d1.partitions label: dos label-id: 0x0007ef66 device: /dev/sda unit: sectors /dev/sda1 : start= 2048, size= 1953523120, type=7 [root@localhost bin]# cat /etc/exports /images *(ro,sync,no_wdelay,no_subtree_check,insecure_locks,no_root_squash,insecure,fsid=0) /images/dev *(rw,async,no_wdelay,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash,insecure,fsid=1)
-
Since we moved things around you probably should issue this command
cat /images/MCWP82/d1.partitions
Just so the screen shots are consistent. It better give you the same exact answer.But looking at the files, and screen shots. It appears your reference computer’s disk image didn’t make it to the fog server completely (mostly didn’t make it).
