=== Change NFS location ===

This is '''not about a seperate NFS server''' in general, but about how to '''change the local storage directory''' and export it correctly.

As FOG sets the default location to /images in your / -partition you may want to have it in your /home-directory or partition.

You have to change these values and config files:

*'''1.''' Edit /var/www/fog/commons/config.php. (on centos 6 see /var/www/html/fog/commons/config.php)
Change the values of '''STORAGE_DATADIR''' and '''STORAGE_DATADIR_UPLOAD''' to

'''"/home/fog/images/"'''

and

'''"/home/fog/images/dev/"'''

for example.

If you already have created images with FOG, '''don't forget to move the complete directory /images to the new place'''.
Be sure that the correct access rights are granted.

*'''2.''' Edit your '''exports file''' (in /etc/exports) to export the new location via NFS:

/home/fog/images *(ro,sync,no_wdelay,insecure_locks,no_root_squash,insecure)

/home/fog/images/dev *(rw,sync,no_wdelay,no_root_squash,insecure)

After that tell the running NFS-server to read the new config:

exportfs -a

*'''3.''' Edit your storage-node definition:

Go to '''Storage -> All storage nodes''' and edit the entry of the '''"Image Location:"''' to your new target for your '''Storage Node "DefaultMember".'''

After that your "'''Disk Information'''" (Free / Used / Total) at the dashboard may not be correct anymore. Edit the file '''freespace.php''' in your web-root (/var/www/fog/status/) (on centos 6 see /var/www/html/fog/status):

define( "SPACE_DEFAULT_STORAGE", "/home/fog/images/" );

You may also need to modify the permissions for the /home/fog directory. It is suggested that you use:

'''chmod 701 /home/fog'''

*'''4.''' Create .mntcheck file in your new "images" and "dev" folders :

touch .mntcheck

That's all!
