[09:19] bored: please tell us exactly, which distroibution yo are using, and which fai version. and check, if the nfgsroot generation succeeded. [09:19] and, you might try reloading the nfs server on the client [09:57] bored (~santhuj@203.199.213.66) joined #fai. [09:57] ColdFire (~coldfire@router.linux-guru.ch) joined #fai. [09:58] ppl one small doubt.. where do i specify the hostname for the new client.. the doc says it has to be gnomehost for GNOME class to be used.. [09:59] bored, you map hostnames to ip's and back using a dns server like bind (or cheat usinga hosts file) and then you assign hostnames using the dhcp server. [10:00] oh ok then i guess i shud add it in dhcpd.conf right? [10:00] thats why the dhcp example specify the line use-host-decl-names on ; [10:00] hmm otherwise can i somehow make the default install include gnome? [10:01] sry i havent browsed thru the config dir in detail.. [10:01] then you use a line like host thiswillbemyhostname { hardware ethernet 00:0E:0C:5C:13:42; fixed-address thiswillbemyhostname; } [10:02] ok.. [10:02] bored, the class/50-host-classes say what class a hostname gets [10:03] sep, yeah thats the one i was looking for.. thanks a lot [10:05] ctp (~ctp@brsg-4d079bec.pool.mediaWays.net) joined #fai.

[19:06] hi everyone.. i successfully did my first fai install today.. planning to do the configurations next.. i need some suggestions [19:06] we have about 40 systems on which we are installing using fai [19:06] and we also wud like to administer them centrally [19:07] like adding a new software to all clients my doing a single operation in the server [19:07] any suggestions on how do this? [19:39] live-update with fai [19:40] bored (~santhu@203.199.213.66) left irc: Ping timeout: 480 seconds [20:14] um, whos responsible for generating disk_var.sh? it seems to get my BOOT_PARTITION wrong, if i try to use a different /boot than /. [20:14] i fixed this once before... but it was fai 2.10.x [20:21] hi folks, if I want to have a hook which does stuff after a normal task is called, how do I do that? The manual says that the normal task is done after the hooks for that task are performed. [20:22] Is it as simple as, for example, 'task instsoft;do_myStuff; skiptask instsoft' [20:23] I tried this yesterday, and it seemed to work, however, at some point I seemed to end up in an instsoft loop, which implied that 'task_instsoft' itself also looks for hooks to run.

[22:56] note to self: changing the module list does change disk ordering. [22:56] may change disk ordering. [22:56] Linux today uses asynchronous device detection [22:57] the one responding slower will be the second one. [22:57] use UUIDs. [22:57] wow. rebooted, and it changed... [22:58] how do you use UUIDs, when you're formatting disks? :P [22:58] oh... [22:58] that was discussed some time ago [22:58] maybe setup-storage will support disk serial numbers at some point [22:58] at least this is on the todo list [22:59] well, this time it got the "right" hda. at least my raid5 wasn't impacted. [23:12] is there a way to blacklist certain modules in the pre-init environment of the FAI CD? [00:00] --- Thu Jan 10 2008
