@sebastian-roth Thank you and everyone replied for help and patience. That someone who messed up is me This is a test server so going to be far more efficient to reload.

Thanks again everyone.

@sebastian-roth Thanks - couldn’t wait for computer so created a Virtualbox session and got the same error after following your instructions. Please see screenshot

@george1421 said in Network boot of host comes up with mount permission denied:

showmount -e 127.0.0.1

I think I know just enough to cause problems. Syntax on my /etc/fstab mount for an lvm volume was wrong and my box freaked on restart.
On diagnosing, I think I may have an inkling. I mounted an lvm volume for images and made this a default storage container on the web interface. I’m assuming that write rights need to be given to fog user for this to work? Is the /images/dev and /images being mapped to my mount as storage? to answer question above:

Export list for 127.0.0.1:
/images/dev *
/images *

The computer I was imaging is otherwise engage and will only be able to test this evening again.
Thank you for all the responses!

rebooted my server this morning and came up with an nfs-mount error. Need to sort this out first to get back up and running.

To answer above as best I can in the meantime:
The screenshot in the picture showing the line “permission denied” is exactly what I am getting except for my IP. Maybe related to NFS issue above?
Loaded latest version 1.4.4.

Once I have NFS sorted will post again with results.

This problem is exactly like - https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/4979/problem-mounted-file-system-permission-denied-solved

I have followed advise from wiki as well and other posts.

Running Ubuntu Server LTS 16.4.3 with install of PHP7 as per wiki advice for that OS.
There was no /home/fog/images and images/dev with requisite files so created that. Strangely, images folder is sitting in root directory rather than /home/fog.

How do I resolve this please? What log file can I attach?
