Ahah, no problem.
I run version 1.2 of FOG, and there is the node configuration:

The “management username” and “management password” are the same as the filezilla user.

Look at what’s displayed on filezilla , it can’t copy files because the script looks can’t create the directory in /images :

I verified the rights on fog ftp user, it has full RW rights (+create directories), i tested to create a directory in /images with filezilla, logged with “fog” user and it worked…

Do you think the problem could come with the fog script?
for the test, i created manually the directory in /images and launched another upload task, actually loading, we will see … !

Hi @george1421

Oh ok so i think you’re right; but

You wanna say FTP or TFTP?
I don’t see any “ftp configuration” in the fog web gui ?

i set the same password on
fog tftp user,
fog unix user ,
fog filezilla server user,
fog management username on storage node,

still don’t work

Hi Fog Community,

Again an NFS issue…
I try to upload an image on a external NFS share, the process starts, upload the image on mounted /images/dev directory, the two “diskclones” process work and create /dev/mac@ddr_of_master/d1.mbr , d1p1.img, d1p2.img, d1p3.img.
At the end, i think it has to create in /images a directory named by image name defined on webui, and transfer that files into it. But it won’t … the .img keep in /dev and the upload process finish without errors

Any ideas?

@Tom-Elliott
Oh ok.
I updated the kernel to “Official Published Kernels
Kernel - 4.1.2 TomElliott” and it works!
i just don’t see the “TomElliottUSB” on the kernel i selected before…!

SOLVED !

@Tom-Elliott
Hello Tom. The NIC is integrated on motherboard, what do you mean by USB nic? a network card plugged on USB?

@george1421
Hello George, fog is running under version 1.2.0, the same since the initial setup. Kernel version just updated is:

Official Published Kernels
Kernel - 3.19.3 TomElliottUSB

i’ll just try with
Official Published Kernels
Kernel - 4.1.2 TomElliott

after manually register the host and assigned a debug download task with E5450, thats what happens:

osid=5
osname=Windows 7
mbrfile=/usr/share/fog/mbr/win7.mbr
type=down
storage=10.1.11.170:/images/
img=E5450Win7prox64
hd=/dev/sda
part=/dev/sda1

[root @ fogclient /] fog

–> black screen, with flashing dash in the bottom left hand corner .
Maybe the 5470 isn’t compatible with the 5450 image… ? yet they are very similar,same disk (ssd 256) just the cpu changing from I5 broadwell to I5 skylake…

fresh news.
i apologize, i just changed the tftp password, kernel update succeeded now.

i tried to reboot the new dell computers but the issue still present when trying to send inventory. i’ll try with manual host import on fog webui

Hi Fog Community,

Today i received new computers from DELL, Latitude E5470 & E5570.
I tried to boot it on PXE, they load the pxe menu but when i try to quick register or full host register it stuck on “Attempting to register host”…

I tried to update to latest kernel on FOG configuration but it wont work too, it download the kernel then stuck on “Download Completed! Moving file to TFTP server” …

Any ideas?

Regards

Arnaud

@ch3i
Salut !
Ecoute ce matin ça fonctionne en upload/download, je ne sais pas comment.
J’ai toujours le message d’erreur “Device busy” à l’upload mais ça passe outre et ça fonctionne…

@Wayne-Workman
Still have the error, after redefined storage node

@Wayne-Workman
Yeah i know my setup is not a regular configuration, but now it works with nfs server on windows , in upload / download. As you know there are more chances to encounter a problem in upload… ^^

@Wayne-Workman
Yeah i’ve just recreated the fog storage node on webUI

Anyone know what can cause this problem? :s
I tried in “upload debug” task, it told me :

" Mouting file system … mount : mouting 192.168.253.20:/images/dev on /images failed : Device or resource busy

@Tom-Elliott

Sorry if i’m hard to understand.

I tried to mount a cifs directory on a Windows server, with mount.cifs cmd.
Then i defined in the fog storage node, the local @ip, path to mount point, and it never worked when trying to upload an image (failed to mount nfs, every time)

Tried to put the wsrvr @Ip in the storage node, with path to access cifs shared directory , but same issue : failed to mount nfs

I encountered all the possible issue trying to externalize the fog storage x)
Last , i was on join.me with @Wayne-Workman to work on NFS share, we solved the unix access problem, but it still don’t work for FOG today, no error displayed

@Tom-Elliott
So now its possible to mount directly CIFS storage in fog storage nodes, with fog trunk?

@Tom-Elliott
Hi Tom,

“Tom built CIFS support into the kernel when I requested it”, so this kernel is already integrated in fog 1.2 ? fog trunk?

It support cifs over nfs? or cifs mounting directly?

@Quazz
Of course, here it is :

“Management username” and “management password” are the same as defined for fog unix user, and as user with full rw rights on filezilla server

@Wayne-Workman
Over CIFS? interesting, this is not publicated already?

@Wayne-Workman
Hi Wayne, Thanks for your help.
I will document it.

After we did the test windows “WindowsNode”, i recreated the “images” nfs share in E: no problem i have rw access mounted on linux.

… But still have error “Failed to mount NFS volume” when trying to upload, but no error message displayed ! “Mouting file system… done”

I still working on it.

@Sebastian-Roth
Yeah, i understand. Trust me i tried to do a lot of times, analyse logs and permissions and work on issues with an unix professor but we don’t found for NFS…
No problem, still working!

Hi,
You can export the fog storage only via NFS. I tried to setup a local directory, shared by fog nfs server, then mount it via cifs on a windows srver but it don’t work too. Still have right/protocol issues due to NFS.

If you follow the windows storage node procedure, maybe you’ll get errors like i encounter actually, can’t access to shared nfs directory (windows server 2012r2), maybe not (in this case i’ll appreciate your help too ;). check the thread, it will be updated as soon as we work on a solution:

The best way to export fog storage still NFS hosted by Linux!
