Could not mount images folder after deleting images

[TomBagley]

Hi,
I hope you can help me.

I am running Fog 7492 on CentOS and absolutely love it.

I recently noticed that after deleting images from the Web UI the storage was not increasing. I had not been going into the image and ticking the ‘delete files’ option - my mistake.

In an attempt to clear up after myself I went into the /images directory, into the folders that have the images’ name and rm’ed the contents of the folders of the images I no longer required.

On attempting to image a machine I now get 'An error has been detected, could not mount images folder (/bin/fog.upload).

I have created a fresh image and tried to associate the same host with it, with the same results.

Are there any suggestions you may have as to what I have done to upset Foggy?

Let me know if you need any more information.

Your help as always is much appreciated,
Thanks,
Tom

You probably deleted the /images/dev directory, and the .mntcheck files.

Here are some commands to fix all that:

mkdir /images/dev
touch /images/.mntcheck
touch /images/dev/.mntcheck
chown -R fog:root /images
chmod -R 777 /images

Hi Wayne,

Thanks for the suggestion. The dev directory is still there. I think I may be looking at rebuilding the Fog Server to remedy this one.

Hi Wayne,

The NFS Server Service was stopped for whatever reason.

Just in case anyone stumbles across this.

I checked it with: systemctl status nfs-server
Started it with: systemctl start nfs-server
Then set it to always auto-start after boot with: systemctl enable nfs-server

Picked up off another thread which I should have read first!

Thanks for your help much appreciated.

Regards,
Tom

@TomBagley Glad you figured it out. With what you described, I would not have guessed this.
