[08:36] <stockholm> polemon: we use fai to install and manage (!) vastly different systems. how fai treats each cluster is controled by lookup of dns TXT records for us.

[11:08] <tokkee> Any ideas what might be wrong?
[11:09] <Mrfai> broken mirror
[11:11] <tokkee> The same mirror is working fine on the host.
[11:11] <tokkee> Also, the Packages file does include all of those packages.
[11:12] <Mrfai> try an official mirror once, please

[12:20] <tokkee> Mrfai: Wow, how did you manage the time travels? ;-)
[12:25] <Mrfai> oops
[12:25] <Mrfai> should be september
[12:26] <Mrfai> s/dec/sept/
[12:28] <tokkee> Mrfai: $ROOTCMD aptitude -y purge ~nlinux-image (in make-fai-nfsroot)
[12:28] <tokkee> Mrfai: In the (very unlikely) case that a user "nlinux-image" exists, that won't work ;-)
[12:33] <Mrfai> \~n may fix that
[12:33] <tokkee> Yep.
[12:39] <stockholm> torkel: its trivial, we dont have documentation.
[12:42] <stockholm> torkel: check out the for example the txt record for alice.lon.spotify.net, sara or joy.
[12:42] <stockholm> torkel: the code to that looks like this:
[12:43] <stockholm> ifclass FAI_INSTALL && { 
[12:43] <stockholm>     # Detect what partition class we should have
[12:43] <stockholm>     txt_services="$(host -t TXT $HOSTNAME)"

[12:43] <stockholm>     # We should terminate here if we are running in install mode. This is because
[12:43] <stockholm>     # a lot of our services require postgres to be running, and that is rather 
[12:43] <stockholm>     # difficult to accomplish in install mode so we are working around it.
[12:43] <stockholm>     fi
[12:43] <stockholm>     exit 0
[12:43] <stockholm> }
[12:44] <stockholm> # This way works with one or several TXT entries for a primary hostname

[12:50] <h01ger> stockholm, paste.debian.net?
[12:53] <stockholm> yes, i thought i would not disturb a lifely discussion or some thought trail. i use paste.d.n otherwise.

[13:49] <tokkee> Mrfai: There is a typo in the FAI guide, line 322 (of fai-guide.sgml of current trunk): "must me" -> "must be"
[13:49] <polemon> FAI guide?
[13:49] <polemon> more like FAIL guide :3
[13:49] <rgsteele||work> Hey guys.  Anybody here used FAI to generate XFS filesystems that are > 3GB and had problems mounting the filesystem again on reboot?
[13:49] <tokkee> I won't write a bug for that one ;-)
[13:50] <rgsteele||work> I'm getting weird errors where it doesn't like the superblock.
[14:01] <rgsteele||work> Er, so about setup-storage - does the host (FAI server) execute parted?
[14:01] <rgsteele||work> Or does it use the parted from the nfsroot?
[14:01] <rgsteele||work> s/parted/parted package/
[14:06] <Mrfai> tokkee: I wrote down this simple bug report from you
[14:07] <rgsteele||work> Mrfai: Any chance you might know?
[14:07] <Mrfai> rgsteele||work: during isntallation if always uses thigs from inside the nfsroot, since the install client only have the nfsroot 
[14:07] <rgsteele||work> Hm...
[14:07] <rgsteele||work> Alright.
[14:07] <rgsteele||work> Thanks

[14:13] <rgsteele||work> Mrfai: Can I simply chroot into the nfsroot and remove/install packages, or is it absolutely critical that I add them to /etc/fai/NFSROOT and run make-fai-nfsroot?
[14:32] <mcarvalh> Mrfai: I sent an update to bug 504662 regarding perl scripts not executing during FAI installation
[14:37] <tokkee> Mrfai: In the introduction to chapter 5 of the FAI guide, I guess it's supposed to be "Using a 10 Mbit LAN does not decrease [...]" instead of "[...] increase [...]", right?
[14:37] <h01ger> rgsteele||work, you can, but they will be lost next time you recreate it
[14:48] <Mrfai> rgsteele||work: you should rerun make-fai-nfsroot. Maybe the other way also works, but if you have any problems, rerun make-fai-nfsroot
[14:48] <Mrfai> mcarvalh: ok, thanks
[14:51] <tokkee> Mrfai: The preferred way to send in patches is using the BTS, right?
[15:03] <Mrfai> yep
[15:26] <rgsteele||work> Mrfai: I see in my FAI logs that FAI is making msdos labels for my XFS partitions: Executing: udevsettle --timeout 10 && parted -s /dev/sdb mklabel msdos
[15:26] <rgsteele||work> Is this intentional?
[15:27] <rgsteele||work> I think that's why my XFS problems are happening - msdos partitions have a 2TB limit.
[15:29] <Mrfai> rgsteele||work: I think there was this discusson on one of the two fai mailing lists.
[15:29] <Mrfai> MAybe searhc in the archive
[15:30] <Mrfai> yepo msdos labels have a 2 TB limit, you need a gpt disk label
[15:30] <rgsteele||work> Yeah
[15:30] <rgsteele||work> That's what I thought
[15:30] <rgsteele||work> I can specify that in my FAI configs, correct?
[15:31] <Mrfai> not sure, I'm not yet an setup-storage expert. Try it. it should support gpt labels
[15:31] <rgsteele||work> Yep it is
[15:32] <rgsteele||work> Cool, thanks Mrfai 
[15:35] <Mrfai> rgsteele||work: it would be nice if you set a real name in irc. Were do you use FAI?
[15:36] <rgsteele||work> Mrfai: You mean, what organization, or geographical location?
[15:37] <rgsteele||work> Or, what distro/environment? 
[15:38] <Mrfai> both :-)
[15:39] <rgsteele||work> Eh, I dunno if my employer wants me to discuss the technologies we use internally.  I'm bad at office politics :)
[15:39] <rgsteele||work> But, location is southeastern Pennsylvania, United States.
[15:39] <Mrfai> ok, that's fine for me. 
[15:39] <rgsteele||work> Using FAI to install Ubuntu Server 
[15:40] <Mrfai> Please fille out the fai questionnaire if you finished a project with fai. You can say anonymous at important parts
[15:41] <rgsteele||work> Haven't finished the project yet.  Still have a couple of weird anomalies.
[15:42] <Mrfai> but don't forget the questionnaire :-)
