@chris.dees If it works for you, then it was the right fix. Run with it.

@Wayne-Workman I got it working. I must have messed up the passwords. I fixed it so the user pass matched the .fogsettings password and replication started working. Thank you.

@chris.dees I started to create a POC document of what you might be looking for in this tutorial. https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/9449/dynamic-fog-replicator-transfer-rates The mechanics of the script work on my test system.

The idea is to create the ability to change the transfer (bit) rates used by the replicator service based on the time of day. While this isn’t exactly what you want the same concepts can be applied to start and stop the replicator service based on time of day.

The follow commands to stop and start the replicator service.

On a sysv based system
service FOGImageReplicator stop
service FOGImageReplicator start

Or on a systemd based system
systemctl stop FOGImageReplicator.service
systemctl start FOGImageReplicator.service

@Tom-Elliott said in Setup Synology Diskstation as main storage for Fog Sever:

@george1421 this can be seen when imaging two hosts at the same time via unicast.

I guess I’ll have to take your word on this because I looked at the config files again and it looks like he is mounting 172.31.161.246:/volume1/images over /images in the fstab on the FOG server and then sharing out /images on the fog server in the /etc/exports file. The last time I tried that showmount -e 127.0.0.1 showed no shares. But that was a while a go. I was trying to work on a way to create a skinny fog server VM with all files stored on an external NAS. That didn’t work so well.
