Just double checked.

The FOG box is on CDT and my main machine is (Windows) Central with daylight savings time. Turning off the daylight savings time and setting the clock manually had no effect.

I’ve RDP’d into the Ubuntu box and checked it locally on Epiphany, This too gives me the wrong time. System time is set correctly however

How did you get on?

My test worked ok, but the bandwidth graph still is 7 hours ahead and refuses to show information. Fortunately the system appears to actually be working!

Just so the graph would work for remaining space.

Got it! It’s working!
I’m going to do a fresh install of this server I think. The time is messed up on the bandwidth receive graph.

Ok so for future individuals, here’s my little guide during installation

Adding a NFS share

First, get rid of the old /images directory. Move it somewhere safe
[B]sudo mv /images /imagesold[/B]
[B]sudo mkdir /images[/B]
[B]sudo chown –R fog:root /images[/B]
[B]sudo chmod –R 777 /images[/B]

Next, let’s edit your fstab
[B]sudo nano /etc/fstab[/B]

Add the line in your fstab for the nfs drive
[B]IPADDRESS:/sharename /images nfs defaults 0 0[/B]

Mount the drive
[B]sudo mount -a[/B]

Then reapply the permissions to the folder now that the drive is mounted. Create the dev folder and .mntcheck folders
[B]sudo mkdir /images/dev[/B]
[B]sudo touch /images/dev/.mntcheck[/B]
[B]sudo touch /images/.mntcheck[/B]
[FONT=arial][SIZE=3][B]sudo chown –R fog:root /images[/B][/SIZE][/FONT]
[SIZE=3][FONT=arial][B]sudo chmod –R 755 /images[/B][/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][FONT=arial][B]sudo chmod –R 777 /images/dev[/B][/FONT][/SIZE]

Then login to the FOG panel, go to storage management, click Add Storage Node and then use these values

Storage Node Name: Whatever you want
Storage Node Description: Whatever you want
IP Address: IP Address of your NFS share. JUST THE IP ADDRESS
Max Clients: Whatever you want, I generally stick 10 in there
Is Master Node: Yes. Note - if you tick this, it’ll wipe images you’ve already created
Storage group: Default
Image location: Enter the folder on your NAS drive that your images are stored in
Is enabled: Tick it
Management Username: the username you use to login to the FOG control panel
Management Password: the password you use to login to the FOG control panel

Click update, and you’re done!

[quote=“mootsfox, post: 11569, member: 1747”]Is it uploading but not renaming and moving the img files from /dev?[/quote]
It was but I changed the TFTP password on the NAS and it looks like it went through. Right now it’s trying to upload an image for me and has 30 minutes left. I have some very strange things going on right now. Nothing in the Bandwidth - Receive graph. In fact right now it shows the time as 7pm, rather than 2pm. However if I manually go to the dev folder on the NAS and do an ls -lh I can see the file growing. So it’s not all bad I guess. Maybe I’ll map the NAS to my /images folder since that was able to see the disk size quite happily

Alrighty so the test has worked and I’ve got the FTP error issue but it looks like it’s uploading ok.

I’m running another test because suddenly in the dashboard, I can’t see anything relating to the size again on the DefaultMaster, whereas I could before.

I will report back

UPDATE! = Success!

I have it working I deleted and recreated the .mntcheck files in both the directories and BOOM suddenly it started working properly.

I’m guessing that I must have corrupted the .mntcheck files with all the attempts

UGH three days!

I’m going for lunch and I’ll update exactly what my config is when I get back. Hopefully someone who searches in the future will be able to benefit from the information.

Ok, so I’ve gone ahead and unmounted the drives, removed from my fstab, removed any tasks outstanding and rebooted to make sure it’s all totally and utterly clear.

I’ve moved the originally installed /images folder back to /images (all I did before was move it from /images to /imagesold

I’ve made a directory at /media/images where I can mount my share. It’s chowned to fog:root, and chmodded to 777

fstab now looks like this
[CODE]
IPADDRESS:/fog /media/images nfs defaults, 0 0
[/CODE]

Then, sudo mount -a to mount the drive

Ok, back into the fog dashboard
Created storage node

IP address is the IP address of the NAS
image location /fog/
Username and Password is the same username and password I use to login to the fog dashboard
Click update

Create new upload task annnnnddd
same error as before, mounted - done. Checking mounted file system - error, failed to mount

So, with the drive mounted

sudo chmod -R 755 /images
sudo chmod -R 777 /images/dev
sudo chown -R fog:root /images

Try again and nope.
So, chmod -R 777 /images

Nope!

Head = Brickwall

Alright confirmed I can get it further than before. Thank you!

New issue however. I now get

[CODE]
Mounting File System…DONE
Checking Mounted File System…

AN ERROR HAS BEEN DETECTED

Fatal Error: Failed to mount NFS volume
[/CODE]

Now that’s wierd

Jaymes, if it’s any consolation, I too had the same issue, but running [B]sudo restart tftpd-hpa [/B]fixed the issue.

So all I needed to do was change /etc/rc.local and add
/bin/sleep30 && /etc/init.d/tftpd-hpa restart
