I restarted the NFS service, it didn’t give me any errors, but now I am seeing this message:

I am trying to push an image to a client and the process get’s stuck at "Mounting File System…Failed " and then I see the repeated message “mount:mounting 10.1.8.10:/media/BFD_/images/ on /images failed: Connection timed out”. Any idea what could be causing this?

I am running Fog 1.2.0 on Ubuntu 12.04.!!

@george1421

-Is the models in both buildings the same?
Yes. I brought the target machine over to my building and it booted in Fog and uploaded the image.
-Make and model of target system that won’t boot?
HP Compaq 6005 Pro Small Form Factor
-Is the target device booting in BIOS (legacy) or UEFI mode?
BIOS
-Is the target device on the same subnet as the FOG server?
Yes.

10.1.8.10. This is a screen shot from a video. The info moves by too fast for me to take a good picture.

I have Fog 1.2.0 server running on Ubuntu 12.04. It is on a Windows Server 2012 R2 network. Server 2012 is handling the DHCP. In one building, I can boot into Fog and upload and download fine. In another building on the same network, the machines start to PXE boot into Fog, then they stop. I have attached an image of the point that they get to before they fail. I was wondering if anyone has ran into this issue before and what I might need to look at network wise.

@Wayne-Workman

Ok, I am up and running! I was following your instructions regarding the exports file and creating the mntcheck files and went into my BFD drive to look at the /images and /images/dev folder when I right clicked on a folder and noticed that the path was not BFD but BFD_. I renamed the path in exports and in storage management and it started pulling an image from my test machine.

I feel foolish that it was something so simple, but I don’t recall naming the drive with an underscore. The only place the additional underscore even shows up is when you right click on a file or folder on it and look at the path.

Thanks everyone for your time and patience!

I have Ubuntu and Fog installed on a 120GB SSD. I am trying to save my images to a separate 1TB HDD drive. The 1TB drive is an internal drive, connected to the mother board via SATA.

The filesystem is NTFS. See screenshot.

The result of running the mount | grep was : /dev/sdb1 on /media/BFD type fuseblk (rw, nosuld,nodev,allow_other,default_permissions,blksize=4096)

@Sebastian-Roth

There was no message when I ran the chmod command. It looked to me like it took it, but I am still getting the same error that is in the screen shot I posted when I try to pull an image.

@ITSolutions

Yes.

@Wayne-Workman

The chmod command didn’t work.

If it was a firewall issue, wouldn’t that block my being able to register the host?

@Wayne-Workman

I think I did everything correctly, but I am receiving this error when I try to upload an image:

@ITSolutions

That did the trick, thank you!!!

I have just installed Fog 1.2.0 on Ubuntu 12.04. I didn’t install the DHCP service because we have a DHCP server already on our network (Windows Server 2012 R2). When I try to PXE boot a host, it doesn’t come back with anything. I am able to ping the IP of my fog server, so I know that it is seen on the network. Any suggestions on what I should look at?

@Wayne-Workman

How do I create the .mntcheck files? Can I copy them from the default images/dev locations that was created when I did the original Fog install?

@Hanz

Here are the contents of my fogsettings folder. I’m not sure which parameter I need to change to redirect where my images are stored:

I am a not very experienced with Linux, so I am going to try your suggestion first. Quick question, where can I find the .fogsettings file? I have been unable to locate it. Also, what does “Mounted of course in /etc/fstab as UUID” mean? Thanks!

Hello! I am doing a fresh install of Fog 1.2.0 on Ubuntu 12.04. I have two drives, an SSD on which I have installed Ubuntu and Fog, and a HDD where I plan to store my Fog images.

So far, I have changed the image storage file path in Storage Management web interface. My question is, is there any place else I need to change the path? There are several different articles online about doing this and some of the files they mention I cannot find on my machine.

Thank you!

@Wayne-Workman I am downloading an image to a machine.

I was able to figure out my problem. I was having the same issue as cg2916 in another topic.
I had uploaded an image from a machine that had a 1.5 TB drive and was pushing it to a machine that had a 160GB drive. Even though the image itself was only 4GB or so, the host machines with the smaller drives weren’t taking it.

Thanks for all your help Wayne!

@Wayne-Workman I re-installed Fog but doing so didn’t solve my problem.

The Fog menu comes up on the host, it let’s me register the host but it won’t image. It makes the iPXE connection, but then reboots.

I looked in task management and verified that an imaging task is created, but it disappears when the host machine fails to begin imaging and reboots itself.

What’s my next step?

@Wayne-Workman So do I just go into the fog folder directory and do sudo ./installfog.sh then?
