@kboutelle There’s the problem.

You have /images and /images2 mounting to the same File system ID. I believe nfs will use the 1st instance (in your case it’s mounting /images rather than your new share /images2.

Edit the /etc/exports file.

For your /images and /images/dev lines, prepend them with a # symbol. This will comment those lines.

That, or change the fsid of the /images2 and /images2/dev to have 2 and 3 respectively.

Then restart the nfs service, systemctl restart nfsd

I can’t believe I missed that. Edited, going to try again.

Deployment is proceeding as it should.

Thank you all for taking the time to help.

Yes, 10.0.0.138 is my FOG server.

Could I have an issue with the database? I’ve been reading as much as I can while you’ve been trying to help me. Some others have had issues with databases after updates. Sorry I didn’t save the links.

OK, the error was that same in the last image I posted. This is the result of the debug process as you’ve instructed:

This is what I saw on the client.

Thanks. Believe it or not, the server has been set up this way since initial install. All images were captured to the images2 directory and deployed from there. I’m not sure what happened or why but here I am.

I completed the steps that you pointed out and I’m still not able to image. The issue I’m seeing now is Unable to open image store ( /bin/fog.download). The file is actually missing. This is preventing the imaging process from continuing. I’m looking at my vm backup now seeing if I can recover that file as I have no idea what it contains.

Edit: I’ve looked through the files contained in my backup and it’s not there. If this file is necessary, I could use a primer on how to recreate it.

Edit 2: I see that this file is supposed to end up on the client. I’m testing the hdd now to see if there is an issue with it.

Thanks again.

Thanks, I’ll give you all that I have.

Current FOG server version: 1.5.5
Fog is installed on Ubuntu Server 16.04.5 LTS

I’ve had this installation up and running for about 3 months. I’ve been able to capture and deploy images, as well as other tasks. Inventory, registration, disk wipe. Everything was working.

The system I’m trying to deploy to is a Dell 3020 with identical hardware to other systems that I’ve captured from and deployed to. Please let me know what else you would like to see/know.

Here are images from the client as it was in the process of deploying an image:

I really hate to start a new topic on this, I have a feeling it’s an easy fix. When I try to use the search for this forum I get a page not found, so here it is. I’m stuck with a non-working FOG installation and this is one of the messages I’m seeing on the client when attempting to push an image to the client. Client finds pxe alright, was able to do inventory and server was able to initiate image process but that fails and this is one of the messages. Any pointer to a solution would be great. Thanks.

@osandag said in no such device or address:

Hi, Was this issue resolved?
I have a same or similar issue where the host status is green for about the first ten minutes till i register the host image it, but after a while fog says ‘no such device or address’

Given the age of the issue, has it been fixed or I have to follow the SQL edit procedure?

I just had the same issue that you are describing. The way I fixed it was to ensure that my interfaces file (Ubuntu server) was configured correctly. In my case, I was using search [domain] instead of dns-search [domain]. Once I fixed that, all was well.
