I didn’t rerun the installer. I tried to write with the fog user to where the images were stored and could not for some reason. Even though I had used chown and chmod with sudo. I made fog a sudoer which I know is bad practice and then reran the commands and it worked. It seems just flukey to me.

It worked! Captured Successfully.
It ended up being the permissions to the external drive, your post paved the way.
Thanks:)

@george1421
That is odd, it was in the dev folder but not in images. I created it.

@george1421
I did what Tom Elliott suggested to no avail, coming up with the same error after capture.

Besides the images folder is there any other place that needs fog permissions?

@george1421
Okay I will be back tomorrow, thank you!!

Better quality in a minute. I am taking photos, because my host is offline right now.

@george1421
Not sure what exactly you mean, I am using Virtual Box and any USB automatically gets picked up when plugged in.

@george1421
It is just a 2TB USB drive with lots of space for storing images. Formatted Ext4 and mounted. Completely empty.

@george1421
That was the first place I went, and yes I just confirmed that the username and password in storage management matches the fog user account in the OS.

I need to be able to store the images on an external drive because the Ubuntu OS that houses the FOG server is a VM inside WIN 7 and I did not leave enough room in the VM for more than one image. Is it worth it for me to pursue storing images externally? or is it impossible?
