Sorry about the long intervals between posts. Just finishing up internal product training…

SO… I did as @Sebastian-Roth suggested and was able to successfully take an image and push it down on a blank VM! I have not tried putting the image back on the source VM but thought I would report back that I am successful and appear to be all set.

The take away from this is having 2 storage nodes on the same machine is not a great idea. If you run out of space, add a HDD and mount it /Images to add space.

Thank you @Sebastian-Roth and @george1421 for your help and guidance!

@Sebastian-Roth - thanks for the reply!!!

I actually added a drive to my fog server and chose to give it it’s own location and storage node. Should I not? This is a VM and I used a 16 GB vdisk for my OS so I didn’t give it any space for images. After my OS was solid, then I added the 2nd vdisk…

should I just start over with a larger vdisk???

So in the file ownership side, I think I get it. The files are made under root in the MAC directory, then moved/copied to the imagename directory because there is no fog user on the client side to authenticate with.

Thanks again for the assistance!!

@george1421 - I see where the file owner is root instead of fog when the client begins taking the image. I’ve tried resetting it to fog during the process and it does not work; I’ve tried setting permissions on the folder but new files and folders created belong to root; I’ve tried setting ACLs with the same results. I definitely think this is the root cause (no pun intended) but am in training this week so cannot troubleshoot this week. i will try to get back into the server later in the week to see if I can figure out why new folders and files that are created during the process default to root ownership and 0644 permission levels when everything looks like it should be owned by fog and have 0777…

Thanks for seeing this and putting me on the path. :)

@george1421 - I have no idea what the location plugin is or where to even look for it :)

for permissions I have it set at 777 for all users:

Thanks for the reply @george1421 !!

Yes, I found that article and did run through it. the PW in .fogsettings matches…

I’ve been digging around and found in the PHP-FPM error log (www-error.log) "Failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var//www/html/fog/lib/fog/fogftp.class.php on line 808

PHP Warning: ftp_put(/images/dev/000c29748171): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/fogftp.class.php on line 709"

When I look in /images2/dev there is a directory for the image and there are files in it…

not sure why some files transfer and then…it gets stuck maybe???

Thank you in advance for your efforts in helping get FOG up and going…New install on Centos 7.5.1804 (Core) and FOG 1.5.5. I have the FOG server running and all looks good from the web interface. I am able to get a PXE client to boot and get it to register and inventory a new client. When I go to take an image of that client it gets most of the way then can’t complete. “error returned: Type: 2 File: /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/fogftp.class.php, line 709, messageL ftp_put():” Then some stuff about UTC time zone.

So I verified I can FTP into the box as the FOG user, set permissions on the TFTPBOOT directory and the /image/* directories, made sure the password matched in the web interface in FOG settings, in the storage node settings, and generally everywhere I could find it.

I made sure the timezone in the OS matches the web interface, set to UTC on both sides.

The imaging begins and does fine until it goes to text screen and I get a bunch of errors (above) then the “An Error has been detected!” and the kernel variables…

I’ve searched through and can’t find an answer…

Any help would be greatly appreciated…
