Use FOG with FreeNAS
How to: Use FOG (1.1.2) with FreeNAS (Storage node - 9.1.1)
I have often seen people want to use Fog Server with a Storage Node FreeNAS. At my office, it works so i describe you step by step how to do. There are probably several solutions i think, but i propose you a simple solution that works with me.
I consider that your FreeNAS is ok for the installation and NIC.
Fog Server: 192.168.56.102
FreeNAS: 192.168.56.240
FOG Server:
Step 1: Storage Management
Add the Storage node.
Storage Node Name: FNAS
IP Address: 192.168.56.240
Is Master Node: As you want.
Group: As you want.
Image Path: /mnt/Volume1/data/images
User/Pass: Free/Free (Not very secure ;) )
Step 2: Image Management
For your image, choose the storage group witch contains the new storage node.
FreeNAS:
Step 1: Add Volume1
Storage -> ZFS Volume Manager:
Volume Name: Volume1
Volume layout: All the disk (in my case)
Step 2: Create the path
Clic on Volume1 -> Create ZFS Dataset:
Dataset Name: data
Compression level: inherit
Enable atime: inherit
ZFS Deduplication: inherit
Clic on data -> Create ZFS Dataset:
Dataset Name: images
Compression level: inherit
Enable atime: inherit
ZFS Deduplication: inherit
Clic on images -> Create ZFS Dataset:
Dataset Name: dev
Compression level: inherit
Enable atime: inherit
ZFS Deduplication: inherit
Step 3: Create .mntcheck
On the folder "/images" and "/dev", create the file ".mntcheck"
CMD: touch .mntcheck
Step 4: Create new user.
Account -> Users -> Add User
Username: Free
Primary Group ID: Free
Home Directory: /mnt/Volume1/data/images
Home Directory Mode: 777
Step 5: Permission for the path
Storage -> clic on data/images -> Change Permissions
User: Free
group: Free
Mode: 777
Type of ACL: Unix
Set Permission recursively: YES
Verification: cmd: ls -laR /mnt/Volume1/data/images
Step 6: NFS
Don't edit "/etc/exports". In my case, when i restart the service, the file faded. I had to WEBGui.
On the left.
Sharing -> Inux (NFS) Shares -> Add Unix (NFS) Share.
Comment:...
Authorized networks: 192.168.56.0/24
All directories: OK
Maproot User: Free
Maproot Group: Free
Path: /mnt/Volume1/data/images
OK.
Idem for the folder "/dev"
Verification:
cmd: cat /etc/exports
Step 7: FTP (I don't know if it's really necessary)
Services -> FTP -> Advenced Mode
Path: /mnt/Volume1/data/images
File Permission: 666
Directory Permission: 777
Now: you can upload your client.
Problem, you may also get an error message at the end: FOGFTP: failed to rename file.

Method 1 doesn't works with me, so i use method 2.
CMD: cp -a /mnt/Volume1/data/image/dev/@MAC /mnt/Volume1/data/images/NameOfYourImage
cp -a to keep the same permission.
That's it. If I have forgotten nothing, you can use FreeNAS with FOG Server :)
