SVN will look a bit odd at first glance since its revision number no longer matches the current software revision that you will receive.

For example (numbers are made up for my time’s sake):
SVN shows rev 3899, installed FOG shows 4591. This is okay and normal now.

Those errors occur when you’re looking at the fog configuration pages base page. The come up because of the attempt to read the bzImage and bzImage32 files version.

ok, thank you Tom!

It was adding the * that helped get these going, thanks Deastrom!

I have not, but I’m constantly (as you can guess) on SVN so if there was some issue, I would have likely corrected on spot. That said, I don’t recall this being an issue. Thats not to say there isn’t one.

I don’t want to get too far off track, but now that i’m squared away with 1.2.0 and things are working, do you recommend I move to the SVN?

[quote=“Wayne Workman, post: 47472, member: 28155”]So literally you just put in the host serial and mac address and the dev server’s IP and that’s it?

That’s pretty sweet, I gotta say.[/quote]

yep, that’s all you have to do

[quote=“Axel, post: 12528, member: 686”]So I spent 10+ hours today trying to get this to work. I’ve followed multiple tutorials on using an external NFS share and my results are not good. After I configure the NFS share in FOG the web GUI says unable to connect on the front page where usually the space free/used is displayed. I’ve created the NFS share, remade /images mounted my NFS share in FOG on /images, created the .mntcheck and then the /dev folder with .mntcheck inside it. I’ve made sure to chmod -R fog:root /images. When uploading an image once the process gets to send method-nfs I get an error of mount: 192.168.62.125:mnt/nfsdata/dev/ failed, reason given by server : Permission denied
mount: mounting 192.168.62.125:/mnt/nfsdata/dev/ on /images failed bad file descriptor. I’ve even tried following posts on here where people had similar issues and i’ve had no luck. The fog server is a vm running in Proxmox with bridged networking. Any ideas?[/quote]

hey Axel

not sure if you resolved your issue, post is too long… didn’t read all of it…

however, I have noticed two things that may be causing your issue…

the first… you used chmod -R fog:root /images… when it should be chown -R fog:root /images (perhaps you meant to type that…)
the second, in your screen shots for the storage node section, the password field should resemble the password in plain text, not the encrypted type… try changing to your normal password, save and try that…

I always issue (right or wrong) the following commands on the /images folder…
chmod -R 777 /images
chown -R fog:root /images

but that’s just me…

shut down nfs deamon, something like “sudo stop nfsd” or maybe looking in /etc/init.d/ for an nfsd related script, and calling it with the stop argument.

Once you’re done, remember to turn nfsd back on.

It should.

Plug in the USB drive. See where it mounts, usually /media/something. You can cat /etc/mtab to get the device info also, just look for something being mounted to /media/something.

Make a directory for the server image under /images, something like /images/Server1.

Mount the device to the folder you just created: sudo mount /dev/usbhdd1 /images/Server1

See if it works. If so, you can add it to the fstab so it mounts the folder on every boot up. You may also need to use the same usb port each time, but I’m not sure how Linux ID’s the external drive for mounting purposes.
