Well, as you said, naming the images as their previous names worked!

I have lost the hostnames registry and groups, but at least I have recovered the images

Thanks a lot for your support, much appreciated

Best

@sebastian-roth done, /dev/sdb1 mounted on /images

now, the 20T drive is on the default storage group

I create images on fog with the same names as the ones on /images (the old ones) but is keeps saying that its size is 0.00B

as /mnt/sync and /images have the same folders (dev & postdownloadscripts and .mntcheck) it should be ok to just mount /dev/sdb1 on /images, right?

should I undo the 2nd node config on fog before?

FYI, on the previous install, i had /sync as a 2nd node also, so maybe I should keep it like that to match the same paths when creating the images???

thank you

@george1421 , thanks a lot for your support

yes, I have connected this .vdi to my new Centos Fog server and is detected as /dev/sdb and mounted at /mnt/sync as a 20T drive

if I explore that disk I can see all the folders containing the images done before

This disk worked as a second storage node on the previous install and the idea is to keep it like that. In fact, that is what i have done, now I can see on the dashboard both nodes (default and sync) but i only plan to use the second node for imaging.

I cannot access my system until tomorrow

thank you

Hi, need help as all my images are out of reach…

here is the thing

I have lost access to my old fog server install (VM installed on a dead disk) but still keep all my images on a .vdi

I have installed another fog server on a new VM (now in a RAID disk :)) and added that old .vdi as a new storage node (i can see the storage on fog dashboard) but Fog server can not see the images as I can not access my old database

Is there any way to recover those images and be able to manage them in my new fog server?

thank you!
