I am confident I have ruled out NFS. I can now connect to the NFS from localhost and Ubuntu to /images & /images/dev without issue and all the permissions that come with it. The only thing failing now is FOG, any guidance would be great!

@christop said in Plugin Hooks Not Running at Sub-Site:

lab computers in the desired room and thus used to multicast the room

just a data point here. Only the master fog server “the one with the database” can multicast images. Storage nodes can not (unless something changed in the last few years). Storage nodes are basically NAS devices with a little programming.

Now we used the location plugin to create storage locations. We assigned the storage nodes to a location and then target computers to locations, so as the target computer boots it finds the storage node it should image from. But that won’t help with the multicast part because storage nodes can only unicast images.

@Tom-Elliott Thank you so much Tom, as always I appreciate your support and guidance.

@chevengur there is not enough information to help you in that picture. If we could see more of the error message that partclone threw (i.e. just above the top of your picture) we would know what happened. At the point in the script all we know is that partclone wasn’t happy.

Ok so the system in question has an on board nic (enp128s31f6), 1 single port Intel PCI-E Gigabit NIC (enp5s0), and 1 dual port Intel PCI-E Gigabit NIC (enp3s0 and enp4s0).

So I booted the system with a Linux system rescue USB key. The network cable is plugged into the single port nic. You can see that it has the IP address 172.16.57.22 was fetched. Without any issues. The mac addresses on the identified nics are:

enp128s31f6 - d4:a2:cd:b7:17:f2 enp3s0 - 00:13:3b:50:b2:b0 enp4s0 - 00:13:3b:50:b2:b1 enp5s0 - ec:08:6b:04:f9:d9 (the one that is attached to the network cable)

Now when I boot the system up into debug mode with FOG into the FOS environment it seems whatever port is pluged into the lan it adopts another NIC’s mac address as shown below:

Now you can see when the fog client boots the mac address changes on the port that is connected to the LAN as:

enp128s31f6 - d4:a2:cd:b7:17:f2 enp3s0 - 00:13:3b:50:b2:b0 enp4s0 - 00:13:3b:50:b2:b1 enp5s0 - ec:08:6b:04:f9:d9 --> Changed to 00:13:3b:50:b2:b0 (the one that is attached to the network cable)

Now I’ve plugged the cable into enp128s31f6 and setup dhcp on that port as well and tested it. When the fog client starts all of sudden the enp128s31f6 has another NIC’s mac address…

Just a re-cap if I pull the two network cards, and do the re-image on the system I have no issues. It only occurs when I put an additional nic into the system… Any suggestions?

@Tom-Elliott thx👍

Problem solved - the disk with the image was damaged

Please see if this helps? Specifically the task related items. Sometimes stale (old/bad items suddenly show up from long ago.) admittedly I’d love to know what caused (or causes?) this but it has so far eluded me this far.

@Tom-Elliott Thank you. Logging out with 1.5.10.1730 works properly.

@DanCan Hi This is currently a known issue on some motherboards. Honestly not sure what is causing this to happen. I am working on a fix to this issue just haven’t had too much time lately.
