I am going to assume no one is able to help me with this and mark it as closed as I have taken recommendations found on other threads and changed down to ubuntu 10.04 and fog 0.29

sorry to piggy back on someone elses thread but the above solution worked as far as it let me change the permissions, but now I’m still getting the problem of the upload falling over after about 350mb on a 16gb image and fog seems to think it’s done :S (ie, image uploaded shows on the screen) … and thoughts?

Thanks, That seems to have done the trick

[quote=“chad-bisd, post: 8632, member: 18”]Decompress the init.gz file and look in the /bin/fog script for the error message. It will clue you in to what is wrong. Make sure ownership and permissions to /images are correct. Owner is fog. Group is root.[/quote]

I have the owner of images set to root, and every directory down to the folder I want to store the images in,

I have tried setting the owner to fog in terminal using the following

[CODE] # sudo chown fog /images [/CODE]

and its not changing the owner… any suggestions?

Hi guys,

I’m a relative newbie to fog and have opted to use it in a school setting as part of my placement for university, firstly I would like to say I love it and a big thanks to the developers for all the time and effort it must have taken,

I have successfully managed to upload images from a couple of our thin client machines to the fog server which was my first test as they are only very small images (being thin client), but when I moved on to a bigger test (a laptop I have set up with custom software as a template for a suite of about 24 laptops) it fails about 2% into the upload,

my fog box on a ubuntu virtual machine sitting on top of a server 2008 R2 host,

the physical sever (server 2008 machine) has 4 gb ram and a 2.4ghz intel core2quad processor

the virtual server is the latest ubuntu with 300gb set aside and a mounted raw 500gb hdd which is the secondary

drive on the physical server set aside as an image store,
the machine I am trying to image is a stone MR025 with windows 7, the total image size is around 16 gig,

I am trying to upload as a multi-partition (single disk) image,

The secondary drive I mentioned is mounted in the images folder that fog sets up with 777 on all directories leading to the folder I am trying to store the files in,

All directories in the tree, starting at and including the images folder, have been checked for the .mntcheck file using ‘touch’ in terminal

Finally I have downgraded to the kernel from fog 0.29 as after a bit of searching it was suggested that could be the issue, but the original 0.32 kernel is backed up and can be re-initialized,

Sorry for the essay guys but just trying to give you as much info as possible,

Thanks in advance for any help you can give,
Matt
