I haven't been able to find anything in google after many tries [06:37] I have my own lenny repo in http://10.1.2.2/debian and it works great if I use the netinstall cd and point the repo to that IP [06:37] but FAI, when it asks for the repo and I put it manually to 10.1.2.2 [06:38] it fails to find it [06:38] in the console alt+f4 it says anna[a number] error http1.1 file not found [06:38] any clues? [06:39] (I use FAI with PXE boot) [06:43] anybody here? [06:43] :) [06:43] having a nap, eh?? [06:45] marcos: yes, most ppl in here work in germany [06:45] marcos: can you paste your config files to pastebin? [06:46] and don't expect quick answers [06:46] sure... what is pastebin? :P [06:47] pastebin.com? [06:48] ErKa (~keryell@99.179.98.29) joined #fai.

[10:07] yep, this shold be possible [10:09] ah, ok. do I just have to list three primary partitions? the 3rd won't get sda4? [10:10] i thought normally fai reserves sda3 for logical partitions? [10:14] AFAIK sda4 will become the logical partition. Which fai version are you using? Are you using setup_harddisks or setup-storage? [10:41] i'm about to set up fai for deploying lenny. so probably the one shipped with lenny [10:42] ok, this is the new setup-storage [10:43] last time I tried this was with etch and I ended up having to use a hook and fdisk [10:43] ok, so you have experiences with fai. Did you ever fill out the FAI questionnaire? [10:44] ah ok, in that case I'll definitely try again, if there's new partitioning code [10:44] no, I don't think I have [10:44] ok, please do this. It available at http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/questionnaire [10:47] ok, I will do once I've set it up [10:51] huh, faiwiki suggests lazyformat is a "missing feature" for setup-storage [11:06] BScherrer (~BScherrer@193.196.193.20) joined #fai. [11:10] hi! Fai works very good so far! Now I need to change the kernel, since we have some quite new networks cards here. I want to go from 2.6.18 to 2.6.24 (etchnhalf). But fai-setup always installs the 2.6.18 to the nfsroot, even if the server runs 2.6.24 [11:17] you have to edit /etc/fai/NFSROOT. This contains the list of packages that are installed into the nfsroot [11:22] Mrfai: thanks, I was blind. Hm, there are no unionsfs modules for 2.6.24 in etch, how could this be worked around? [11:23] use aufs, this is a replacement for unionfs [11:24] autofs? [11:27] aufs is not in debian etch [11:36] mfl (~mfl@adonis.fnb.maschinenbau.tu-darmstadt.de) joined #fai. [11:49] I know, but maybe it's where you found 2.6.24 for etch [11:54] 2.6.24 is in so called "etch and a half", it appears in the normal etch repository... [11:57] you can also use 2.6.26 and aufs from lenny with etch. Maybe use the packages from backports [12:45] BScherrer (~BScherrer@193.196.193.20) left irc: Quit: Trillian (http://www.ceruleanstudios.com [12:45] BScherrer (~BScherrer@193.196.193.20) joined #fai.

[19:34] hi [19:34] how can is set the vg_create options with setup_storage ? [19:35] fr_: it does that automatically [19:35] you just specify the volumes etc [19:37] yes the sizename but how do is set clustering, and the vg-"blocksize" of if i use >5TB [19:38] i need "-s, --physicalextentsize PhysicalExtentSize[kKmMgGtT] " http://pwet.fr/man/linux/administration_systeme/lvm_10/vgcreate [19:38] we have several volumes bigger then 5Tbyte but i did not need special options [19:39] "The default of 32 MB allows LV sizes of ~2TB " - is from the manpage [19:39] perhaps it does not use the default then? [19:39] i honestly dont know. it just worked for us [19:40] ok :-) and how do i enable striping ? [19:40] we let the hardware raid do that [19:40] ... or what do you mean? [19:40] hm jes it works similar to a raid 0 [19:41] i guess you have a hardware raid underneath, too? [19:41] we do raid6 or raid10 often. sometimes raid1, even [19:41] jep in my 8 TB maschone there is a hardware raid (5) but on the workstations i want to use a raid0 + lvm or a lvm with 2 physical divices and stripping .. [19:42] i see... [19:42] hm [19:42] i dont know. [19:42] can setup_storage handle md and lvm ? [19:43] yes [19:43] i wrote my own hook a year ago but since 3.2 it doesnt work anymore so i check if i can replace it with the new tool [19:43] there is an example for that, even [19:43] lvm on top of softwareraid [19:45] ok i check this tomorrow thanks al lot!

[20:11] Reason I ask, I need to create a script to detect which nvidia package (nvidia-glx or nvidia-glx-legacy-96xx) to install based on which video card I have. I've found something already written in perl [21:04] mcarvalh, yes [21:04] i'd hope it can also be python or whitespace :) [21:04] probably s/hope/think/ even [21:05] just try with a test perl script. if it doesnt work, file a bug and use a bash script to start your perl script [21:06] (though personally i would just use a shell script for this task. (lspci & grep.) but TIMTOWTDI :) [22:24] Thanks!
