Manually copy image between FOG hosts

I re-ran the installation after setting the proper path in /opt/fog/.fogsettings but the graphic still shows /images as the Image Path and FTP Path. I look in /etc/exports and see:

/home *(ro,sync,no_wdelay,no_subtree_check,insecure_locks,no_root_squash,insecure,fsid=0)
/home/dev *(rw,async,no_wdelay,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash,insecure,fsid=1)

Here is my /opt/fog/.fogsettings:

You would just update those via the web interface. The installer doesn’t touch much of anything in the DB, it’ll add a new node for you, and make sure you’re node’s FTP credentials are correct, that’s all it does to the DB for an existing setup - and of course it updates the db schema if necessary. It doesn’t do anything beyond this because there’s no way to know what the admin’s intentions are, or what unique setup there may be. For instance, you might have 3 or even 12 nodes defined all on one server, all with a different path. Imagine the disaster if the installer was programmed to just ‘correct’ all of those for you…

All set - it was the files being sent to a single filename * - that was just a syntax error on my part for using the Windows cli too often.

@Wayne-Workman - i had to change my /opt/fog/.fogsettings file back to pointing the storage at ‘/images’ because the entire imaging process breaks. Also re-added my /etc/fstab line to point /images to the home directory where the 177G volume is. I understand you think my system will fail if I fill up more than the 50G available on the root drive, I’m confident it won’t. Thank you greatly for your assistance, it was the file copy problem.
