| 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 | if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then |
| 12:43 stockholm | if echo "$txt_services" | grep -v "^$HOSTNAME has no TXT record$" > /dev/null; then |
| 12:43 stockholm | echo "$txt_services" | cut -d ' ' -f 4- | awk '{gsub(/"/,""); print toupper($0) }' | perl -pe 's/(\S+)\b/$1_PARTITION/g' |
| 12:43 stockholm | fi |
| 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 | } |

| 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 :-) |
