If I umount /images and try to create an image from a workstation, I get
“Could not mount images folder (/bin/fog.upload)
Args Passed:
Reason: mount: mounting 10.2.20.6:/images/dev on /images failed: No such file or directory.”

$ cat /etc/exports

I deleted the uncommented lines since it seemed to convert these lines into larger bold text. I can add them back in if you wish. hank you for the support!!

@george1421 Well, I’m not quite sure what account you are asking about, if you could be a bit more specific. I did not edit any accounts…
here is a pic of the error I receive from the laptop I am trying to create an image of.

@george1421
here is the output. Give me a few mins to edit the pic and ill upload it.

$ ls -la /images/dev

I have given up and started over using the instructions given by @george1421 ref: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/6941/windows-server-as-fog-storage-node-proof-of-concept-blog
Hopefully it works, i noticed the very last comment states he is at a stand still… Has this been converted into a Wiki yet? Does anyone know if this works?

I would love to keep everything *nix but my office and several folks that work with me, don’t agree. They believe the storage node should be managed with Windows so someone with no Linux experience can easily add/remove images which i do tend to agree with.

EDIT

Yes i can, i will post screenshouts and outputs in a few mins. I have yet to start over as i stated above, i was editing the instructions provided to fit my system before i began.

nope its not shared out again on the FOG server. The Windows NFS Share is simply mounted as a local hard drive in the CentOS VM as /images. It is not shared again from the FOG server.

Everything is working as it shood. I have FOG installed, I can access the /images directory from the terminal, I can login to the fog server.

The only issue I have is that I cannot create an image. When I do I get permission denied to /images/dev.
I’ve tried the usual chown fog:root /images/dev… and chmod 777 /images… but nothing seems to work, no matter what I do I get permission denied /images/dev when I try to create an image.
If I try to change /images/dev to /images/dev1 I get location does not exist so I know its hitting the storage repository.

I cant seem to get the correct permissions to apply to /images/dev.

Description

Attempting to work my way through the creation of a backup solution with a repository of images stored on a Windows server. I have FOG setup on a CentOS 7 VM using VMWare & ESXi. My storage repository is a disk shelf connected into Windows Server 2012. I have a network cable directly connecting ESXi and the Windows server (will be routed through switch later ). NFS Share is setup in Windows Server, and a Virtual Switch opening up the network interface for the FOG Server. I have successfully mounted the NFS Share as a local drive in CentOS 7 as /images. Installed FOG as usual. Install went through without a hitch, .mntcheck in both /images and /images/dev. All permissions seem correct according to CentOS and FOG.
I am experiencing 2 issues:

1. When I try to access the Disk Shelf from within Windows I get access denied.

2. When I attempt to create an image from a workstation I get an error: Mounting /images/dev Permission denied and it reboots in 1 minute.

Anyone have any suggestions or ideas?
