No i did not tried it yet but i will…

Hi

I will be nice if we could port fog to openmediavault. Openmediavault is opensource also and many plugins have been made for this software. They have a very nice community, that i believe could help doing a plugin for fog.

Thanks

As i said before i have a shop that customers come to fix their pc. Sometimes i need to make a fast backup and then format the pc. With fog i can easily make an universal image and make the formats but this is the 50% of the job. The other thing is to restore the files they had. So i was thinking if i had a way to mount or read the image from windows, i would just copy the image back to the computer and let clients restore what ever files they want.

Sorry if my english are bad

Hi Matt

Thanks for your reply. I have already installed fog and i like it a lot. It would be perfect if i could mount the images from windows. If you have an idea how to do that i would appreciated.

Thanks

In partimage site they say that it is not possible to do that in windows.:(

Well good idea but in my situation it is not so good. So let me explain what i want to do. I have a small store for repairing, upgrading pc and i want a way to backup with fog then restore with a universal image and copy the image back to the computer. if i had a way to mount the old image in windows, clients will have an easy way to restore their files.

Hi
Thanks for the reply can you suggest a program that can mount partimage files. I have searched in google and i did not found something for windows. Only for linux

Thanks

Hi

Hi

I have managed to add a nfs server and it is working great. The only problem that i had is when i upload an image the file is not moved to /images. I have followed the above directions but it did not help. The ftp username and password should be the password from storage node configuration?

[CODE]KNOWN ISSUE You will get an error “Ftp connection to storage server has failed” at the end of uploading images though. You will have to manually rename and move the file from the dev directory to the directory below.
If your NFS server supports ftp as well, enable ftp on it too with the username and password specified in the storage server settings and this message will go away.
Hopefully someone will re-write POST_Stage2.php to change this at some point as if you already have the NFS share mounted why do we do this bit with ftp?
You may also get an infinite loop of the following message:-
“Unable to find a valid task ID based on the clients mac address of: <mac address>”.
if you add an @ sign before the ftp commands it appears to have fixed the issue.
so line 133 of /var/www/fog/service/Post_Stage2.php would look like this
if (@ftp_rename ( $ftp, $src, $dest ) || @ftp_rename ( $ftp, $srcdd, $dest ))[/CODE]

Thanks in advanced and sorry if my english are bad
