Tom, I installed FOG over ElementaryOS Luna which is based on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Would this interfere with it? I’m also having another issue, maybe I should open a new thread. Now when I image a VM to the server, the files get uploaded correctly, but in the images list, the new image has a size on client of 0 and a size on Server of just 56.56MB.

ElementaryOS is Ubuntu based, so it should work just the same. However I am attempting to load a full ISO, not just the netinstall. Do you think that makes a difference? Also, can you please confirm you’re using 1.2.0? As I have replicated your exact setup, and it doesn’t work.

My WWW files are under /var/www/, and that’s where FOG sits and I can certainly access and download the ISO with a browser and wget also, so there’s access to it. On my end, it simply does not load.

Hey sudburr,

I just tried this with ElementaryOS iso, placed in [url]http://FOGIP/fog/public/iso/elementaryos.iso[/url] (I also have a copy of memdisk there) and all I get is
[QUOTE]FATAL: INT18: BOOT FAILURE[/QUOTE]
when I try to boot a VM or a laptop with that option.

I have tried all permutations and I don’t seem to be able to sort it out.

I have been trying to load a liveCD from FOG for a week now, everything is pointing to older version which I don’t want to use now as my server is already setup.

Why are there no clear instructions on how to do this in the Wiki? They’re all for older versions.

Hey guys!

I’m new here and have been testing FOG for the past couple of days. I’m quite frustrated at the moment as I am trying to test deployment to a bunch of laptops however I cannot seem to get past this storage issue.

My setup is as follows:

ElementaryOS testing system (physical) with the following HDD split:

udev 7,8G 4,0K 7,8G 1% /dev

/dev/sda1 is my secondary drives where I store all my VMs and I would like to store my FOG images there. The disk has a single volume and is formatted in NTFS (I use this disk from Windows with VirtualBox quite a lot, I cannot change the FS).

I need to capture a backup of one of the laptops, however none of my mountpoints on the Linux side of the drive have enough storage on their own to store this backup, it will be over 120GB when finished.

I have tried several methods for using the storage on /dev/sda1 for FOG, as follows:

[LIST]
[]Symbolic link from /images to the old mountpoint I had for this disk
[]With the old mountpoint for sda1, which mounted it under /media/VMs as a typical NTFS partition, with UID 1000 (my main user), then changing the path for the main storage node in FOG
[*]The current setup, which mounts sda1 directly under /images
[/LIST]
None of the above methods worked. Furthermore, I don’t seem to find an alternative to saving the new path for any storage nodes without restarting my machine or re-installing FOG (which keeps all my current settings and DB data).
I would like to know how I can point a storage node to this NTFS volume.
Thanks in advance and please let me know if you require any further information.
