This from edugeek:

Would you know how to track down the resource numbers?[/COLOR][/SIZE]

Glad I could be of help, I just tried changing the storage ftp username domain\user, but that did not help me either, actually set me farther back…

Yeah I did not know what chroot is. For further communications, assume that you are talking to a linux noob (because I am).

Just a thought, Since my Iomega NAS syncs to my windows Active Directory to get it’s users list, do I need to join my fog server to Active Directory?

Currently it’s not joined to my domain. How do I go about joining it to the domain? Would I need to re-install FOG after this?

joshua,

I edited the the default storage node definition in the webui. I set the IP to the IP of my NAS. I then set the image location to /mnt/pools/A/A0/[I]sharename[/I]. Because I am still hosting the TFTP files from the fog server I did not change the TFTP_HOST value. I did change STORAGE_HOST to the IP of the nas and edited the storage directories similar to above. Be sure that after you make these changes you remove any pxe files in the /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg that are named by MAC addresses. Recreate both the image on the webui and remake the task.

I also synced my passwords to be the same. Everything is set to “fog” and then the same password. Including the one on the storage definition page. I also created a fog user on my NAS that has the same password. [url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=FOGUserGuide#Separate_NFS_Server[/url]
Be sure you have the .mntcheck files as well.

The biggest thing for me is that I tried this before and it didn’t work, but it was using a pxe boot file that was generated before I made the changes. So it appeared as if I was getting nowhere. Once I deleted the old pxe file and recreated the task, I was able to image.

Still unable to rename or move them via FTP…

Cheers

If I’m able to upload files, can I rule out mismatched passwords?

Which passwords do I need to check?

Yeah, when I ftp to my NAS with filezilla both the root folder and the dev folder are 777…

Hello,
I recently setup fog on our windows network, on a debian box. My fog images are being stored on an Iomega Storcenter NAS that supports NFS and FTP.

When imaging a host, everything goes fine until it tries to move and rename the image. The host spits out an error about being unable to move from /mnt/pools/A/A0/fog/dev to /mnt/pools/A/A0/fog. The .mntcheck files are present, there is a fog ftp account setup, and as far as I can tell the credentials are correct. The NAS runs pro ftpd 1.3.1 server. I have no problems connecting via ftp from my fog server to the NAS.

One thing that was interesting, I tried to rename the files manually from the fog server using the debian GUI (not the terminal). This process errors in Debian but when I leave the directory, and return to it the files are renamed. I know that I can manually rename and move the files, but I really do not want to do things this way. I’ve kinda of hit a wall. Thanks in advance!

What user id does does the FOG client use when it attempts to mount the storage directory from the fog server?

Bump… Still stumped on this…

Hello,
I am also receiving this error when I attempt to upload an image from a machine. I have used webmin to mount my NAS NFS share on /images. As long as it is mounted I get this error, as soon as I unmount the NAS, I have no problem uploading an Image to my fog server’s hard drive. When it is mounted I have read/write access from the fog server, and can freely add files to the NAS with no issues. I believe the issue lies in the host trying to mount /images, which is really my NAS. Any help is greatly appreciated and I am extremely new to Linux. Oh and it’s on debian.

Thanks Adam

Hello FOG community! I am a beginner at linux and am trying to find a guide for setting up a NAS to store my fog images. If anyone could help me or point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. It is a Windows network and our NAS is a Iomega StorCenter px4-300r.
