‎Before Installing

New page

FOG will run fine in OpenVZ, when a few tricks are applied during installation.

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:

untar the installation files as described in the manual. A few changes need to be made.

in lib/ubuntu/config.php in the lines that start with

packages="
storageNodePackages="

change

nfs-kernel-server

to

unfs3

save the file.

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

echo "/images x.x.x.x/255.255.255.0(ro,sync,no_wdelay,insecure_locks,no_root_squash,insecure)
/images/dev x.x.x.x/255.255.255.0(rw,sync,no_wdelay,no_root_squash,insecure)" > "${nfsconfig}";

(More on the exports file format on the [http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Optware/Unfs3 unfs3] page.)

and restart the correct service

sysv-rc-conf unfs3 on >/dev/null 2>&1;
/etc/init.d/unfs3 stop >/dev/null 2>&1;
/etc/init.d/unfs3 start >/dev/null 2>&1;

Now, run the install as described in the manual.

(this is all taken from [http://forum.proxmox.com/archive/index.php/t-1749.html this forum post] on the proxmox website.)
