@Wayne-Workman No they are not

Hello, has anyone ever encountered this problem?

To know that I use as a master a NAS for storage, I can do everything for the image but for snapins it does not want to create them.

Thanks

@tom-elliott Quite right, but then we can put the 3 folders in one and the same shared folder. For the tutorial I did like that but we could also make a central shared folder for example name “FOG” with the 3 folders in, “images”, “snapins” and “tftpboot” except that the path would be /volume1/FOG/images, /volume1/FOG/snapins…

@tom-elliott Yes it will work, look at the capture that I made directly on the NAS without going through the storage of the FOG server:

while capturing the image is stocked on /volume1/images/dev folder:

and when he is captured 100%, it will appear on the folder /volume1/images directly:

I’m capturing one right now:

Follow this tutorial step by step, and you will have everything configured, I spent a lot of hours to understand where my mistakes were and I make this tutorial to help the maximum number of people.

To begin, let’s configure the NAS - Synology DiskStation:

First, go to --> Control Panel --> File services --> SMB/AFP/NFS, scroll down:

-Check “Activer NFS” = “Enable NFS”.
-Check “Activer la prise en charge de NFSv4.1” = “Enable support for NFSv4.1”.

Go to --> Control Panel --> File services --> FTP:

-Check “Activer le service FTP (pas de chiffrage)” = “Enable FTP service (no encryption)”.
-Check “Utiliser la plage de ports par défaut (55536-55567)” = “Use the default port range (55536-55567)”

Go to Control Panel --> User --> Select the advanced window:

-Check “Activer le service d’accueil de l’utilisateur” = “Enable the user’s home service”.

-Let’s create the folders to share.
-Go to Control Panel --> shared folders --> create and follow the pictures below:

-Click “Suivant” = “Next”.
-
-Click “Suivant” = “Next”.

-Click “Suivant” = “Next”.

-Click “Appliquer” = “Apply”.

-Click “Ok”.

Create two more shared folders with the name “tftpboot” and “snapins”, with the same configuration as the shared folder that we create together “images”

Go to --> Control Panel --> File services – TFTP:

-Check “Activer le service TFTP” = “Enable TFTP Service”.
-Dossier racine TFTP = “TFTP root folder” : tftpboot (choose the tftpboot folder you created).

After doing that, you have to create a user.
-Go to Control Panel --> User --> Create and follow the pictures below:


-Here the username = userFOG and password = FOGuser.
-Check --> “Ne pas autoriser l’utilisateur à changer le mot de passe du compte” = “Do not allow the user to change the password of the account”.
-Click “Next”.

-Check only --> users.
-Click “Next”.

-Folder “images” --> Reading/writing.
-Folder “snapins” --> Reading/writing.
-Folder “tftpboot” --> Reading/writing.
-Click “Next”.

-Click “Next”.

-Click “Next”.

-Click “Next”.

-Click “Apply”.

Go to Control Panel --> Shared folders --> select the folder “images” you created before --> Right click on folder --> edit --> NFS permissions --> “Créer” = “Create”:


-Privilege: R/W
-Squash: no mapping
-Security: sys
-Check “Activer le mode asynchrone” = “Enable asynchronous mode”.
-Check “Permettre à des utilisateurs d’accéder aux sous-dossiers montés” = “Allow users to access mounted subfolders”.
-Click “Ok”.
DO THE SAME THINGS ON THE OTHER TWO FOLDERS: “tftpboot” and “snapins”.

DO NOT ACTIVATE THIS IN FOLDERS:

NAS is now configured.

Let’s move on the FOG server. (I host the server fog on ubuntu):

CREATE THE SAME USER THAT WE CREATED ON THE NAS ON THE FOG SERVER

Connect to your FOG server and open the terminal and enter these lines:

sudo -s
mount -t nfs "Your_NAS_IP":/volume1/images /mnt
mkdir /mnt/dev
touch /mnt/.mntcheck
umount /mnt

mount -t nfs <syno_nas_ip>:/volume1/images/dev /mnt
touch /mnt/.mntcheck
umount /mnt

mount -t nfs <syno_nas_ip>:/volume1/snapins /mnt
mkdir /mnt/ssl
cp -R /opt/fog/ssl/* /mnt/ssl
umount /mnt

mount -t nfs <syno_nas_ip>:/volume1/tftpboot /mnt
cp -R /tftpboot/* /mnt
umount /mnt

When you have done that, you have nothing to do on the FOG server.

Go to the FOG Management GUI, select Storage --> Add storage Node:


-Management Username it’s the user we created before on NAS.
-Management Password it’s the same password of the user we created on the NAS.
-Check master node.
-Storage Group: default.
-Click on ADD.

Go to Storage --> All storage nodes --> Click on DefaultMember:


-Uncheck “Master Node”.
-Click “Update”.

Now create a new image and try to capture a image:

Go to hosts --> List all hosts --> Click on your host:


-Click “Update”.
And now capture the image:

YOU CAN DEPLOY IMAGE TOO

There is already a very good tutorial on this subject, but I wanted to enhance it with images that it is more understandable.

@tom-elliott I just unchecked “Enable advanced sharing permissions in affected folders”:

I think it’s working thanks you

@george1421
Ok, I am still checking all the steps of your tutorial and I will come back to you, if it not solved the problem or on the contrary if it solved it, thank you for your answer.

@george1421 Hello, i did all the things you say, but i stay with this error, and i don’t know what this means:

Did someone known this problem ?
