<div>FOG will run fine in OpenVZ, when a few tricks are applied during installation.<br />
<br />
<br />
NFS-server wants to load a kernel module, which is not possible in OpenVZ. Therefore we replace nfs-server with unfs3. Here are the steps:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
untar the installation files as described in the manual. A few changes need to be made.<br />
<br />
in lib/ubuntu/config.php in the lines that start with<br />
<br />
packages="<br />
storageNodePackages="<br />
<br />
change <br />
<br />
nfs-kernel-server<br />
<br />
to<br />
<br />
unfs3<br />
<br />
save the file.<br />
<br />
In the file lib/ubuntu/functions.php find the configureNFS function. First of all, unfs3 does not like the * in the /etc/exports file. Change them to your subnet, like<br />
<br />
echo "/images x.x.x.x/255.255.255.0(ro,sync,no_wdelay,insecure_locks,no_root_squash,insecure)<br />
/images/dev x.x.x.x/255.255.255.0(rw,sync,no_wdelay,no_root_squash,insecure)" > "${nfsconfig}";<br />
<br />
(More on the exports file format on the [http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Optware/Unfs3 unfs3] page.)<br />
<br />
and restart the correct service<br />
<br />
sysv-rc-conf unfs3 on >/dev/null 2>&1;<br />
/etc/init.d/unfs3 stop >/dev/null 2>&1;<br />
/etc/init.d/unfs3 start >/dev/null 2>&1;<br />
<br />
Now, run the install as described in the manual.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
