[11:21] uh, i don't, don't know about anyone else [11:22] but it kind of depends whether you have any other dns infrastructure in place, doesn't it? [11:24] yeah [11:25] as long as the clients can resolve the faiserver's address it's fine, right? [11:26] well i personally think you should always have working forward and reverse dns for everything [11:26] but there are people who care less than i do ;) [11:32] heh [11:41] I think I've noticed a bug in the documentation [11:41] the line for the tftpd is tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/in.tftpd in.tftpd -s /srv/tftp/fai [11:42] in the dhcpd configuration, it says filename "fai/pxelinux.0"; [11:42] so it looks for /srv/tftp/fai/fai/pxelinux.0 instead of /srv/tftp/fai/pxelinux.0 [11:42] Nick change: Stere0 -> Stereo [11:56] lazyb0y (~henning@faiwiki.informatik.uni-koeln.de) joined #fai. [12:07] hey, my test install is installing right now :D [12:28] hm, good thing i didn't look too closely at what the documentation says about dhcpd.conf :) [12:52] it was a bug; I fixed it here [12:54] fxcp (ctp@81-163-29-110.visitor.congress.ccc.de) joined #fai.

[13:17] siggg (~jean@83-152-252-232.rev.libertysurf.net) left irc: [13:27] right, I must have done something wrong on the faiserver [13:29] task_savelog gives me [13:29] Save log files via rsh to fai@faiserver:demohost/install-20081229_124740 [13:29] Permission denied. [13:30] Last message repeated 1 time(s). [13:30] what line have you got for the fai user in your /etc/password ? What password is it supposed to have?

[13:32] what am I doing wrong? [13:32] You need a .rhosts in ~fai [13:32] demohost root [13:34] echo "demohost root" > ~fai/.rhosts ? [13:34] yep [13:35] yeah, that worked [13:35] but I already had something [13:35] +@faiclients root [13:35] how can I make that work? [13:35] For this to work you need to add demohost to the netgroup faiclients [13:37] it sounds like it would be less complicated to use the ftp method :) [13:38] Not necessarily, it's just adding a line to a file, on the NIS server if you use NIS netgroups [13:39] but then I need to add a line every time I configure a new host, right? [13:39] I have never tried the ftp method, but you either need to configure an anonymous ftp server, or provide a password [13:40] Yes, you can also add all your hostnames in the netgroup at once [13:40] I won't know them in advance [13:41] You can try to use '+ root' in the .rhosts file [13:42] so I was thinking of writing a small script that wrote the appropriate line to the dhcpd.conf; guess it could write to that other file too [13:42] Not very secure, and you may have to change some pam config [13:42] I just installed fai-quickstart, and it left me with that [13:42] yeah [13:43] sounds like ftp will definitely be easier [13:44] Good luck :) [13:45] thanks :) [13:47] should FAI_FLAGS be set in fai.conf or make-fai-nfsroot.conf ?

[14:44] about those Installationszeiten in the documentation [14:46] things are going a lot slower for me on a 250G disk [14:46] it's been running mke2fs for 30 minutes [14:47] bad disk, or am I doing something wrong? [14:57] right, I'll reboot the machine [14:57] we'll see [15:06] right, mke2fs just freezes [16:00] hmm. I can find the documentation for setup-storage, but not for the 'old' system [16:00] ah, section 7.7 [16:43] i've never seen mke2fs run for 30min [16:53] yeah, it's definitely borken [17:00] allee (~ach@p54A452F7.dip.t-dialin.net) joined #fai. [17:04] um. [17:04] i've seen it. [17:05] it will take a while when your disk controller does not have its proper driver. this wa n old fai-cd problem, before the IDE layer got 'better'. [17:05] mkfs.xfs doesn't take as long [17:05] xfs probably dosent write as much to the disk. [17:06] not all MKFSs write nd read the same ammount of data. [17:06] yeah [17:06] so since this is only a test setup, I switched the thing to xfs, and it's installing now [18:23] fxcp (ctp@81-163-29-110.visitor.congress.ccc.de) left irc: Quit: Ex-Chat [18:27] allee (~ach@p54A452F7.dip.t-dialin.net) left irc: Remote host closed the connection [18:50] maswan (maswan@kennedy.acc.umu.se) left irc: Remote host closed the connection [19:05] mgoetze_ (~mgoetze@mgoetze-2-pt.tunnel.tserv4.nyc4.ipv6.he.net) joined #fai.
