  • Followup: RE: Temporary images do not get moved

    Thanks for the link, but this does not seem to be the problem. The /images directory has the correct ownership, and the permissions are set to read/write/execute for everyone (777). When we create single-partition images, they are moved correctly from the temporary directory to /images. The problem is that when you create a multiple-partition image, a directory is supposed to get created...

  • Temporary images do not get moved

    Hello, We are using Fog 0.26. When we create a single-partition image, everything works just fine. It creates the temporary image file in /images/dev/<MAC> and then moves it to /images/<image_name> once the image is complete. But when we create a multiple-partition (single-disk) image, it creates the image files for the MBR and each partition under /images/dev/<MAC> but...

  • Messages starting with '<' do not show

    When a message is entered which begins with '<' directly followed by another character (no space in between), it shows up as a blank line in the chat window and is also recorded as a blank line in the database (if you have archiving enabled). Has anyone else seen this? Thanks.

    I've never seen that message, but it sounds like there could be a hardware failure, or a bad configuration (like a jumper set incorrectly on the drive).

  • Followup: RE: Create image

    Did you try /sbin/showmount or /usr/sbin/showmount? On my Debian box, the correct path is /sbin/showmount (without the /usr at the beginning). The command should be: /sbin/showmount --all.

  • Followup: RE: Create image

    It sounds to me like portmap isn't running on the client. I don't know how to enable it on a client booted from TFTP, though. The fact that you got no output when you ran "/sbin/showmount --all" on the server is odd. Can you connect to this NFS share from a regular Linux box?.

  • Followup: RE: Create image

    Here are a few things to try (if you haven't already). After you run "mount -o nolock x.x.x.x:/images/dev /mnt" on the client... If you run "mount" on the client (with no arguments), do you see the NFS mounts listed? If you run "/sbin/showmount --all" on the NFS server, do you see the client listed as a connection?.

  • Followup: RE: Changing images directory

    Not sure if this helps, but I have run into issues before where I couldn't copy files larger than 2 GB to an NFS mounted directory. I think that was a limitation of older NFS versions and has since been fixed, though. How big are the images you are trying to create?.

  • Followup: RE: cannnot upload image

    I think you need to change the permissions on /images to 777. I had this error and that solved it for me.

  • Followup: RE: Changing images directory

    We had a problem where FOG would image a client but then it would fail when it tried to move the temporary image file in /images/dev/<client MAC> to its permanent location /images using ftp_rename(). It turned out to be a permissions problem and I solved it by setting the permissions on /images to 777, but there's probably a better way. Not sure if this is the same problem you are having.
