| 09:04 stockholm | Mrfai, MT: die parman diskussion nochmal |
| 09:05 stockholm | ich habe heute morgen im zug die doku teilweise gelesen |
| 09:07 Mrfai | und? dein resumee? |
| 09:08 stockholm | Mrfai: ich wollte wissen was eure gründe waren das nicht zu nehmen |
| 09:08 stockholm | auf mich wirkte das ganz solide und anwendbar |
| 09:10 Mrfai | was nicht zu nehmen? |
| 09:11 stockholm | na partman |
| 09:11 stockholm | das braucht ein interface für konfig file |
| 09:11 Mrfai | weil partman nur innerhalb des d-i laueft |
| MT (~MT@guest-44.vmars.tuwien.ac.at) joined #fai. |
| 09:11 stockholm | und man muss die interaktiven sachen auffangen |
| 09:12 stockholm | Mrfai: ja, aus dem stand, aber das scheint mir sehr gute grundlagen zu bieten |
| 09:12 Mrfai | meine erst Idee was den parted_server.c zu nehmen (lauft auch ohne d-i) und daran das neue partitionstool zu docken, was dann in perl ist. |
| 09:12 Mrfai | Michael hat sich dann aber fuer den anderen weg entschieden |
| 09:12 stockholm | ok |
| 09:13 Mrfai | IMO ist es ja nur wichtig alle notwendigen Info ueber die Platten zu bekommen und das sollte auch mit den parted aufrufen klappen |
| 09:15 stockholm | ich weiss ja nicht ob parted nicht auch in partman drinsteckt, aber ich hatte gleich einen fall wo parted gestorben ist als es versucht hat die partitionstabelle zu lesen |
| 09:15 stockholm | und die ganze partitionierung ist abgebrochen |
| 09:18 Mrfai | parted und partman nutzen beide die libparted. partman geht dabei ueber parted_Server, was nur ein kleines programm ist, das eine Schnitstelle via 3 shell pipes fuer partman zur verfuegung stellt. partman selber ist dann ja nur shell code. |
| 09:18 Mrfai | Somit sollte sich partman und parted identisch verhalten |
| Action: Mrfai now driving to work... |

| 09:51 _schurig | Soll das fai-nfsroot via NFS als "ro" exportiert werden? |
| Nick change: _schurig -> schurig |
| 09:52 schurig | irgendwas spinnt nämlich bei meiner FAI installion. Gestern ging alles, heute habe ich ein neues "make-fai-nfsroot" gemacht und seitdem habe ich nur noch Riesen-Probleme, z.B. steht bei mir nun oben: "/var/log/fai/current/fai.log: No such file or directory". |
| 09:53 schurig | und nun frage ich mich, woher das /var/log/fai kommen sollte |
| 09:53 schurig | im mit make-fai-nfsroot erstellem DIrectory ist es nicht |
| 09:55 schurig | ich sehe auch nicht, wo etc/init.d/rcS da irgendwas macht |
| i-R2D247 (~deed@tor-irc.dnsbl.oftc.net) joined #fai. |
| 09:56 schurig | or should I ask in english? |
| 09:58 schurig | h01ger: are you there? |
| 10:10 h01ger | yes |
| 10:10 schurig | h01ger: where does /var/lib/fai/... in the client come? I don |
| 10:11 h01ger | but please dont ping me just because i'm helpful sometimes :-D there are many other who are helpful too. and if you needless ping me, i might just ignore you in future.. |
| 10:11 schurig | h01ger: okay, sorry that I disturbed you |
| Action: h01ger has paid work to do too. you can hire me to do fai work :) |
| 10:12 h01ger | my mind is currently in webapps... |
| 10:12 h01ger | schurig, i think its created when checking out the configspace |
| 10:13 Mrfai | schurig: mabe your make-fai-nfsroot did not finished succesfully. Try adding -v |
| 10:14 schurig | Mrfai: it said something about being successful |
| 10:14 schurig | Mrfai: make-fai-nfsroot finished properly. |
| 10:14 schurig | was the exact text |
| 10:15 h01ger | schurig, /var/lib/fai/config is defined as $FAI in fai.conf. so you can grep for \$FAI in `dpkg -L fai-client`.. |
| Action: h01ger learned about dgrep the other day. dgrep foo $package = grep foo `dpkg -L $package`. nifty. |
| 10:15 h01ger | ok, back to my webapp... |
| 10:18 oz_ | webapps make $$$, yes. :-( |
| 10:21 Mrfai | schurig: do not trust make-fai-nfsroot ;-) Read the whole logs |
| 10:21 schurig | Mrfai: okay, will do |
| 10:21 schurig | Mrfai: is the exported nfsroot supposed to be exported "ro" or "rw" ? |
| 10:22 Mrfai | ro |
| 10:23 schurig | Mrfai: that is what I assumed. And, according to the fai/nfsroot/inittab, the first script to run is etc/init.d/rcS, which happens to be /usr/sbin/fai from fai-server*.deb (fai 3.1.8), right? |
| 10:24 schurig | so this script needs somehow to mount /proc and put a ramdisk over /var and populate it iw /var/log/fai ... |
| sobersabre (~bilbo@89-138-78-195.bb.netvision.net.il) joined #fai. |
| 10:29 sobersabre | hi guys. I have been through the guide, but probably missed. there's an error in the end that "SERVER" var isn't defined, and this is why the clilent cannot make server to run fai-chboot to make it boot locally |
| 10:30 sobersabre | assuming I do define this variable. |
| 10:30 sobersabre | what do I need to setup on the fai-master so clients can .. .. execute commands on the server ?!?!? |
| 10:31 sobersabre | I mean, fai-chboot as far as I understand should be run on the server's filesystem, since /srv/tftp/fai/pxelinux.cfg is on the server. |
| 10:31 sobersabre | and it is not shared in writable mode.... unless I am ... wrong. |
| 10:31 schurig | oh, I guess I know my error |
| 10:31 schurig | I'm using still fai 3.1.8, by my fai-nfsroot happens to be 3.2.1 |
| 10:31 sobersabre | schurig, so ... what do you think I should do... |
| 10:31 sobersabre | I am using the 3.2.1 package. |
| 10:32 sobersabre | both client and server. |
| 10:32 schurig | sobersabre: I don't have a clue, I'm changing something via fai-chboot, I turn off PXE boot in the BIOS |
| 10:32 sobersabre | hmm... I see. |
| 10:33 sobersabre | I prefer -o localboot ---> local boot. |
| 10:33 sobersabre | this way I can remotely make the machine reboot into what I want. |
| 10:33 sobersabre | this is ... nice. |
| 10:33 Mrfai | schurig: mixing 3.1.8 ans 3.2.1 is very bad. They use complete different kernel and methods for making ro file system writeable. Use 3.2.1 for both. |
| 10:34 sobersabre | Mrfai, can you point me to an answer or ... answer my q ... no rush, of course. |
| 10:34 schurig | Mrfai: that is what I figured :-) I'm using 3.1.8 for now, because then the kernel doesn't need any initramfs (it was easier for me to make a custom kernel for 3.1.8) |
| 10:36 sep | sobersabre, this works with the example config for me, all i needed to do was set a LOGUSER and create the nfsroot, |
| 10:37 sobersabre | sep, can you ... explain what you mean by "this" ? |
| 10:37 sep | that the clilent cannot make server to run fai-chboot to make it boot locally |
| 10:38 sep | so i run fai-chboot -IBv hostname, and restart hostname, it pxeboot, install the os , and erboots locally. |
| 10:39 sep | i have a default pxeboot entry ofcourse created with fai-chboot -o default |
| 10:44 sobersabre | sep, if I understand correctly, for this to work, somewhere under fai/config there must be a text file with the keyword SERVER ( not FAISERVER ) present. |
| 10:44 sobersabre | I cannot find such one. |
| 10:44 sobersabre | I did under fai/config: |
| 10:45 sobersabre | grep -i SERVER * | grep -v FAISERVER |
| 10:45 sobersabre | and found nada. nichts. gar nicht |
| 10:46 sobersabre | sorry the 1st grep was with -ir |
| 10:48 Mrfai | sobersabre: have a look at your variables.log |
| Action: Mrfai SIGFOOD |
| 10:48 sobersabre | :) |
| 10:48 sobersabre | SIGFOOD is good! |
| 10:48 sobersabre | guten appetit. |
| 10:48 sep | i dont have that |
| 10:49 sobersabre | I prefer to ignore this now, since I don't have any more time preparing the templates for clients. I will do the rest "manually", but I like to understand what's wrong. |
| 10:52 sobersabre | I understand the 3.2.1 is not the stable version. |
| 10:52 sobersabre | right ? |
| 10:53 sep | sobersabre, i use 3.2.1 |
| 10:53 sobersabre | ok |
| 10:54 sobersabre | tell me: have you used fai to install non linux os onto the clients ? |
| 10:54 sobersabre | e.g. *bsd or sun or... osx or even windoz ? |
| 10:57 sep | only debian |
| 11:24 sobersabre | ok. |
| 11:36 sobersabre | gooing off tschuess in the meanwhile. |

| 12:33 IceFox | Hi guys. I want to know. I have a script at the end of my FAI install, that asks for hostname/ip range etc. and when I echo text onto the terminal It does not display. I take it FAI is hiding my text |
| 12:34 IceFox | I'm not shure how to get it to echo my question onto the screen at that stage. any ideas ? |
| 12:39 schurig | IceFox: hmm, I never had problems echoing anything |
| 12:39 schurig | IceFox: does the contents of your echo show up in any file /var/log/fai/current ?! |
| ErKa (~keryell@keryell.pck.nerim.net) joined #fai. |
| 12:40 IceFox | aah, I havn't checked the log file. I will go have a look quickly. its just strange, because it works fine when I run it manually obviously. |
| 12:42 schurig | IceFox: maybe stdout of your script is re-directed when running under FAI's auspice |
| 12:42 schurig | IceFox: in this case echo "Blah" >/dev/console might help |
