Hello to all,
I installed fog in a test environment before installing it in a production environment.
I setup it in a ubuntu 12.04 desktop machine and all works fine.
I can upload image, restore it and so on…
Opening FOG log i found this message every 10 seconds:
Checking if I am the group manager - I am the group manager
It’s normal or there is some mistake?
I’ ve read some threads in this forum but I’ve not understand what is the reason of this message.

Any Help will be appreciated

Solved, At first step in windows machine, I shared in haneWIN NSF server c:\FOG_IMG like /images.
And as you said, system cannot move /images/dev/${MAC} to /images/{IMAGENAME}.
I’ve created a subfolder c:\FOG_IMG\images and I mapped it to /images.
I don’t understand the reason but after this It works and moves the images.

Thank you

Windows NFS Server allow image upload, in windows share I found the images files. The credentials are the same. I don’t understand why those credential allow image upload and not connect to storage server.

I installed on the windows machine filezilla server (as ftp server) and I configure it with the STORAGE_FTP_TFTP_USERNAME and PASSWORD (that are the standard UID and PWD of FOG). This UID and PWD match the storage node UID and PWD.

Hi Tom thank for your help.
I installed NFS server for windows following the tutorial you sent me.

I can browse, read and write in windows shared folder but fog don’t works.
When client boot this messages appears:

• Preparing to send image file to server

• Mounting File System…mount:ser.ver.ipa.ddr:/images/dev/ failed, reason given by server: Permission denied
  Done

• Checking Mounted File System …

I created .mntcheck files in /images and images/dev
I tryed to do this mappings:
Fog user to Administrator user, root user to Administrator, ubuntu user to administrator but nothing.

I found this thread and following it I can upload image:

After image upload the client shows this message:
Task complete!

• FTP connection to Storage Server has failed!
• FTP connection to Storage Server has failed!
• FTP connection to Storage Server has failed!
  …

I have to shut down it manually. The fog’s task is not deleted. It’s in active task section.

Hi to all,
I don’t know if it’s the right section of the forum to post this topic, If it’s the wrong section please forgive me.
First of all, I’m not very skilled on linux systems.
I setup in a test environment a ubuntu 12.04 machine where i setup Fog 0.32.
All works fine, I tryed to backup/restore images of the win xp clients in my lan succesfully.
Now I wold like change the image storage location to a windows machine.
I can browse the network and open the sharings of this machine. Also I tryed to create and remove file on it succesfully.
I read the user guide “Separate NFS server” but i don’t understand how i can use a win machine sharing as images sorage location.
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
