The EFS is mounted already to my VM, its mounted via DNS and the EFS is mounted to the /efs-aws directory. This is how it looks when you type “df -h”. I moved the images over to the directory hence the 9.2G data/images that is in the directory. So its mounted and accessible I just get the “Mounting File system … failed” and the permission denied under the reason in the picture.

fs-xxxxxx.efs.us-east-1.amazonaws.com 8.0E 9.2G 8.0E 1% /efs-aws

I’ll try some of your suggestions. Not sure you can create a iSCSI target in AWS tho

This is what I get after making changes in /etc/exports and running “exportfs -ra”

exportfs: /efs-aws/dev does not support NFS export
exportfs: /efs-aws does not support NFS export

My FOG version currently is 1.5.5 and works perfectly fine. However I have attached an AWS EFS on my CentOS Linux release 7.6.1810 (Core) FOG server and able to cd into it fine. I am trying to change the default directory /images to this EFS lets call it /efs-aws and store all the images that were on /images on this /efs-aws directory.

1. Things I have done so far is change the settings on the FOG web interface under storage to 2 tabs the “image path” and “FTP path” to /efs-aws.

2. Change the settings under “/opt/fog/.fogsettings”. Specifically these 2 lines.
   storageLocation=‘/efs-aws’
   #storageLocation=‘/images’

3. At first one log I saw from /var/log/messages is this

• list itemfog rpc.mountd[8724]: Cannot export /efs-aws, possibly unsupported filesystem or fsid= required

4. But puzzling part of this log I saw was after I put the directory “/efs-aw” in “/etc/exports”. All I did here is replace “/images” with “/efs-aws”

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

I get this error below

• list itemlist itemfog rpc.mountd[13107]: refused mount request from 10.3.4.86 for /efs-aws (/): not exported

5. when I try to image to a test laptop I get this picture (note I just copied and pasted this picture from another forum in FOG but this is exactly what kind of error I get).
   

if anyone has ever tried using EFS to store all images I’d appreciate the help!
