    • RE: Adding storage to existing FOG server.

      @Wayne-Workman

      I’ve been having trouble getting a new storage node (located on a USB Drive that’s plugged into my Fog server) to work properly. I am able to get the drive to mount and have the permissions set the way you mentioned, but when I try to upload an image it isn’t working.

      It looks like it is going to work, I even see the screen flash briefly that would be showing me the progress. But once that flashes the screen changes to a blue background, with a repetitive message about how it is unable to move the temp image that it is supposed to have in the /dev directory to the /ext_images directory. When I check the /dev directory, I see that there’s no image at all even being started to upload.

      Sure seems like that would be a permissions type of issue but I know those are good.

      You mention something about adding FTP info to the Fog Settings – Storage Node area. I am not seeing that. I do see TFTP Server info but nothing that specifies a storage node (either default or new).

      The USB drive is mounting just fine, I can see the path to the images directory on it and the /dev directory as well. Permissions look the way you mention. Where else could I look for the spot I may need to plug the FTP username/pswd info into for the new storage node?

      Thanks,
      Steve

    • Error when trying to upload to new storage node on USB Drive

      I added a new storage node on our Fog server. The new storage node is located on a USB drive which I have auto mount at boot. The /etc/fstab file has the entry which mounts the drive and the /etc/exports file has been updated to include the path of the new storage node and its /dev path too.

      I have the permissions set the same on the new path as they are on the original path for the default storage node. I am able to use the original storage node as before to push images down or upload images. All that still works. I have copied a couple of images into the new storage node and been able to push them down to a couple of different computers. The only issue I’m having now is that when I try to upload a new image from a computer to a new image located on the new storage node it gives me an error saying that it can’t move the image from the temp area in /dev to the /images location on the new node. I checked the new storage node /dev directory and the temp image isn’t even being created. I’d expect it would have something to do with permissions or ownership but have matched those with what I see in the default storage node.

      So it would be great to hear of anything I may have overlooked. At this point, I could upload to the original, then copy it over, and then I’d be able to use it on the new node. That’s a workaround I’d rather not do. It would be cleaner just to upload straight to the new node.

      Also…I’ve noticed the Fog Dashboard Disk Information isn’t working properly. It shows two storage nodes now that I can pick from but no matter which one I select, I only see info that pertains to the original node. It isn’t showing all the extra space that exists on the USB drive which holds the new node. I’ve checked a few config files…freespace.php is one I’ve looked at but nothing seems to jump out at me as far as what I need to change to see the correct data displayed.

      Any ideas?

      Thanks,
      Steve
