[21:29] how do i get aufs support into my 2.6.24 kernel ? [21:33] teratoma: What distribution? [21:40] debian [21:41] is that etchnhalf? [21:42] my server is running lenny 2.6.26-1-amd64 . i am trying to stick 2.6.24 or anything lower than 2.6.26 on a fai client,and im having a horrible time [21:43] if you use lenny, you should use .26 [21:43] i would like to. there is a weird bug in 2.6.26 and aacraid driver that makes the raid array hang forever. [21:44] so am i trying to do something that is impossible ? [21:44] is that bug filed? [21:44] is it maybe fixed in sid? [21:45] i am getting hit by this bug: http://fixunix.com/debian/542177-lenny-regression-initrd-lvm-rootfs-detection-timeout.html [21:46] it is making my life very painful right now [21:46] kf k gl bac, [21:46] if i go back to etch ,ill have to stop using setup storage in disk config [21:54] h01ger: Don't suppose by chance you happen to know if setting the locale in /srv/fai/config/debconf/CLASSNAME is supposed to set the default locale in the install client? [21:54] no idea [21:54] Bummer. [21:56] guess it shoudl work [21:56] or via classes/CLASSNAME.var [22:08] h01ger: Yeah, the debconf setting definitely isn't working. [22:09] I guess I can just set LC_* to en_US.UTF-8 and export it, maybe that'll work.... [22:11] echo $LOCALE > /etc/environment [22:12] h01ger: Isn't that stuff usually stored in /etc/default/locale ? [22:15] Anyways, I'm fine with doing that, I just wondered why FAI wasn't using debconf-set-selections to set the client's locale information based on /srv/fai/config/debconf/CLASSNAME (unless I read it wrong and that is setting the locale for the NFS environment, not the target) [22:17] rgsteele||work: no, it's as h01ger said...in /etc/enviroment [22:17] n8te, [22:38] h01ger: classes/CLASSNAME.var won't work. That gets executed before the disks are even partitioned. [22:40] there you set the var [22:40] and then you use scripts/FOO to use that var [22:40] That won't work. The scripts get executed after the packages are installed. [22:41] By that time, postgres has already been installed and set up, so it's too late. Postgres needs the locale to be set prior to installation. [22:41] use a hook then [22:42] This is really the accepted way of doing things? There's already a debconf hook, I have no idea why it doesn't work. [22:44] then file a bug :) [22:44] but a hook should let you workaround the bug [22:44] so please, do both :) [22:44] Heh, okay.
