| 06:36 marcos | hello! |
| 06:36 marcos | I have a very strange problem with FAI. I haven't been able to find anything in google after many tries |
| 06:37 marcos | 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 marcos | but FAI, when it asks for the repo and I put it manually to 10.1.2.2 |
| 06:38 marcos | it fails to find it |
| 06:38 marcos | in the console alt+f4 it says anna[a number] error http1.1 file not found |
| 06:38 marcos | any clues? |
| 06:39 marcos | (I use FAI with PXE boot) |
| 06:43 marcos | anybody here? |
| 06:43 marcos | :) |
| 06:43 marcos | having a nap, eh?? |
| 06:45 oz_ | marcos: yes, most ppl in here work in germany |
| 06:45 oz_ | marcos: can you paste your config files to pastebin? |
| 06:46 oz_ | and don't expect quick answers |
| 06:46 marcos | sure... what is pastebin? :P |
| 06:47 marcos | pastebin.com? |

| 06:48 marcos | pastebin.com is not loading |
| 06:54 marcos | maybe I just beter bug report it in debian |
| 06:54 marcos | cheers |

| 10:01 archie | with fai partitioning is it possible to have sda3 as a primary partition? |
| 10:07 Mrfai | yep, this shold be possible |
| 10:09 archie | ah, ok. do I just have to list three primary partitions? the 3rd won't get sda4? |
| 10:10 archie | i thought normally fai reserves sda3 for logical partitions? |
| 10:14 Mrfai | AFAIK sda4 will become the logical partition. Which fai version are you using? Are you using setup_harddisks or setup-storage? |
| 10:41 archie | i'm about to set up fai for deploying lenny. so probably the one shipped with lenny |
| 10:42 Mrfai | ok, this is the new setup-storage |
| 10:43 archie | last time I tried this was with etch and I ended up having to use a hook and fdisk |
| 10:43 Mrfai | ok, so you have experiences with fai. Did you ever fill out the FAI questionnaire? |
| 10:44 archie | ah ok, in that case I'll definitely try again, if there's new partitioning code |
| 10:44 archie | no, I don't think I have |
| 10:44 Mrfai | ok, please do this. It available at http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/questionnaire |
| 10:47 archie | ok, I will do once I've set it up |
| 10:51 archie | huh, faiwiki suggests lazyformat is a "missing feature" for setup-storage |
| BScherrer (~BScherrer@193.196.193.20) joined #fai. |
| 11:10 BScherrer | 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 Mrfai | you have to edit /etc/fai/NFSROOT. This contains the list of packages that are installed into the nfsroot |
| 11:22 BScherrer | 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 Mrfai | use aufs, this is a replacement for unionfs |
| 11:24 BScherrer | autofs? |
| 11:27 BScherrer | aufs is not in debian etch |
| mfl (~mfl@adonis.fnb.maschinenbau.tu-darmstadt.de) joined #fai. |
| 11:49 Mrfai | I know, but maybe it's where you found 2.6.24 for etch |
| 11:54 BScherrer | 2.6.24 is in so called "etch and a half", it appears in the normal etch repository... |
| 11:57 Mrfai | you can also use 2.6.26 and aufs from lenny with etch. Maybe use the packages from backports |

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

| 20:10 mcarvalh | Can a script in the /class directory be a perl script, not a shell script? |
| 20:11 mcarvalh | 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 h01ger | mcarvalh, yes |
| 21:04 h01ger | i'd hope it can also be python or whitespace :) |
| 21:04 h01ger | probably s/hope/think/ even |
| 21:05 h01ger | 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 h01ger | (though personally i would just use a shell script for this task. (lspci & grep.) but TIMTOWTDI :) |
| 22:24 mcarvalh | Thanks! |
