Hello,

I have indicated a local directory of fog in Web GUI (storage node) but has not got a very large capacity and all images should be saved on QNAP.
In the storage group, I have now my FOG as master node and QNAP as member of group.
I understood that FOG should be the master node in the case of Multicast but with not enough space, how it works when I want to upload?

Will FOG be able to know that the images are too heavy for it ? And redirect the save to the QNAP?

Thanks.

You can’t export a NFS mount as NFS share.

Try the configuration I’ve posted.

After a new capture, I will try again the multicast task.
So, even for the capture, FOG must be the master node and QNAP the membership of his group ?
I was wondering whether the image was going to be saved to the QNAP without having to indicate it (cause it’s the second node of the group which has the more capacity ?).
Cause when I create an image, I cannot choose the storage node and it’s the storage path of the master node which appears. I would not want the image to be saved in FOG.

Thanks for your patience

Or install the proper services and items on the QNAP (e.g. Apache2, udp-cast, tfpt, etc…)

Do you mean that there is a FOG package for QNAP, that can be installed?

I understant but how FOG will going to find the images to the QNAP if it’s fog which is the master node.
I have to mount the QNAP 's storage path to the path of local storage (master node) ?
Thanks and sorry for my english …

ps : I was in a labo test but is it normal that all my images created before were removed ? I think its occured when i change the master node . Good to know

Yes it is. I have only one storage Node and it’s the QNAP (NFS)

My output log file /opt/fog/log/multicast.log :

StorageNode Not fount on this system.
StorageNode Not fount on this system.
StorageNode Not fount on this system.
StorageNode Not fount on this system.
StorageNode Not fount on this system.
StorageNode Not fount on this system.
StorageNode Not fount on this system.
…

every 10 sec “StorageNode Not fount on this system”. Is it normal ?
My storage Node is a QNAP’s NAS.

Thanks for your reply ch3i
No, I have only one.
Yes I saw many topics about this but nothing resolve mine

The problem occurs with Two operating systems ubuntu 15 and debian 8

Hi all,

I have the fog 's version 1.2.0 installed in my Ubuntu 15 Desktop.
The Unicast deployment works fine but multicast to my host group doesn’t.
On theses machines, I have this message on the screen :
“Starting to restore image (-) to device (/dev/sda1)”

the restart of the Multicast did not solve the problem.
Theses commands did not solve too :

mysql -u root <-p password> fog
truncate table multicastSessions;
truncate table multicastSessionsAssoc;
exit;

sudo service FOGMulticastManager stop
sudo killall udp-sender
sudo killall udp-sender
sudo killall udp-sender
sudo service FOGMulticastManager start

But its not better…

Thanks
