Brand new master install of 1.4.4 on Ubuntu Server 16.04.3 and another brand new install the same but as a node.

Really need to get the replication issue nailed now please if anyone can help?

If I add nodes to Default storage group they replicate from the master fog server but if I add nodes to the Replication storage group they do not, even though there is a master for this group with images present?

I have tested FTP from “271-fog” (master in “Replication” storage group) to “24066-fog” and it logs in successfully with username “fog” and "password from storage management screen for “24066-fog”

I think the issue I have is the second part of this but I cannot edit the my.cnf file (permission denied) on a node:

Wayne I have this:

Also, I have now got further:

I have setup another node called “271-fog” and created a storage called “Replication”
Added 271-fog and 24066-fog to the “Replication” storage group
Set “271-fog” as the master for the “Replication” group

I have created a test image and tagged it to the “Replication” storage group
Run an upload from a host tagged to the test image
Image has successfully appeared on “271-fog” but it is not replicating to “24066-fog”

Any ideas why its not replicating?

Thanks Wayne however I can’t see how you can add an image to more than one storage group under Image Management, its a drop down box that only allows you to choose one storage group?

Also can someone tell me what the “TFTP from node” check box does under Location Management please?

I assume if I tick “TFTP from node” the node needs the TFTP parameter adding to the node install script otherwise it won’t work?

Just realised the Images can’t be in more than one Storage Group and the image I was trying to use is tagged to the Default storage group. Could that be the issue?

Hi Wayne, see attached:

Thanks to Tom who found all my images, life saver!

I have scrapped the windows NFS idea and just made a standard node on Ubuntu which I now have running at a remote site on a separate subnet but now need a little help/advise please?

I have added the Location Plugin

I have created a second storage group and put this node into it.

I then added a new location and added the node to it.

I have copied 1 image over manually to this new storage node, configured the DHCP at the site to point at the main fog server.

Went to site with a box and attempted to image it, PXE was intermittently loading from the main server across the WAN but did load and allow Full Registration albeit it was slow.

I chose the new location during registration.

It started imaging but it was slow, around 500m/min

So question is was it actually pulling from the new local node or pulling accross the WAN?

Only other thing which I should mention, I did not tick the TFTP from this node box under the location?

Please help?

yes Tom that would be great!!! I know very little about Linux unfortunately!

just need to get my images back now or are they lost forever

I got them to sync yes by adding the windows node to the default storage group but then I moved the windows node to a seperate storage group. I then attempted to upload an image to the windows node but it didn’t work, that was where I was stuck.

However, the bigger problem is I seem to have lost all my images on the fog server, there is a padlock on the “images” folder?

root@fog-server:~# ls -lhart /images
total 8.5K
-rwxrwxrwx 1 4294967294 4294967294 0 Mar 2 2015 .mntcheck

Hi Tom, sorry I’m just panicking now, did you see my last post? its seems I have lost all my images

Can someone help please? Have I lost everything?

And just tried to image a box and get this:

IMG_0358.JPG

Thanks for the testing guide, however I have just discovered what I think is a massive issue…

I just went to create the txt file for debug in terminal and got: bash: /images/test.txt: Permission denied

And then looked at the File System under File Explorer and see the “images” folder has a padlock on it!

AND all my images have gone…oooouch OMG!

They have all vanished, please help?
