Trying to push image to client - Mounting File System Fail
-
@PageTown Doubtful that the Windows Server is causing issues. Are you using the /media/BFD_ path again?
-
@Wayne-Workman No. My path should be /images now.
-
@PageTown Then what do you get from
ls -lahRt /images,mountandexportfs -v?? -
@Sebastian-Roth Here’s what I get after running la -lahRt /images now:
-
/imagesdirectory structure is looking good. But what about the other two commands I posted? -
@PageTown I don’t mean to derail this thread, but do the clients that you are trying to push to happen to be connected to a Cisco Small Business managed switch? It’s a shot in the dark, but I have gotten the exact same error you have when trying to use that. Our IOS based Cisco Catalyst switches are no problem, but there is something about the Cisco SB series that doesn’t play nice with FOG (there is probably a way to configure it properly, but I couldn’t figure it out). I apologize if this isn’t the case. If you are using that, try a dumb switch. That’s what resolved my issue.

@fry_p sidenote: The only SB switches I had issues with were some of the <24 port switches - and this was a issue with the stupid security they had messing with UDP/NFS; this was fixed with a firmware upgrade.

Ah, yes mine was a little 8 port SB. I didn’t have time to mess with it since a class was using the lab I was imaging the next period, but I’ll keep that in mind. Those things are a pain!
-
@fry_p That is EXACTLY what we have. I am trying to test this theory using a little Linksys router to handle DHCP, but I am unable to get my host machine to PXE boot. I have changed the settings in the router and set up a matching connection on the Fog server, but so far no luck. Any ideas?
-
@PageTown @Mentaloid I just tested this using updated firmware on the Cisco SB switch. I left all settings default and I was able to push an image to a client on the switch! As for the linksys, my networking knowledge is limited. I’m accustomed to running DHCP on a Windows Server. I’m sure one of these other fine gentlemen can help with that. You can also try updated firmware for the SB switch here: https://software.cisco.com/download/navigator.html?mdfid=283018960
(Should have all models of SB switch firmware there. I didn’t need a login to download. You can update through the switch GUI)
-
@fry_p We updated the firmware on our Cisco switch and I was able to push out images again! Thanks for chiming in about your experience, this could’ve stretched out for a long time!
-
@PageTown Great to hear that you you found a solution! So with the old firmware (or possibly configuration?) NFS was not allowed to pass through I reckon.
-
@Sebastian-Roth Ours was quite a few firmware updates behind and we weren’t able to jump from our current strait to the newest, but stepping up just one version solved it.
