| 09:40 FBI | fai: 3 lange committed revision 5326 to 7 fai: -k now also upgrades all packages inside the nfsroot, |
| 09:40 FBI | fai: add -N to install_packages call, this is good for cross architecture |
| 09:40 FBI | fai: building the nfsroot |
| 09:40 FBI | fai: * NFSROOT: install aMD64 apckages with aptitude, this also helps when |
| 09:40 FBI | fai: building an amd64 nfsroot on i386 |
| 09:52 mgoetze | Mrfai: this means one will be able to install i386 and amd64 from only one server? |
| 09:53 mgoetze | (especially from an i386 server, without having an amd64 server on which to build the nfsroot?) |
| 10:24 Mrfai | yewp. I just did that. |
| 10:24 Mrfai | My fai server is running etch on i386 (but an 64bit kernel). I use debootstrap from lenny and fai 3.2.17~lenny1 with this recent patch |
| 10:25 Mrfai | Now I created a /etc/fai64 directory, changes few things there and created a nfsroot for amd64. This works great |
| 10:26 Mrfai | here are the diffs |
| 10:26 Mrfai | diff -r /etc/fai /etc/fai64/ |
| 10:26 Mrfai | diff -r /etc/fai/make-fai-nfsroot.conf /etc/fai64/make-fai-nfsroot.conf |
| 10:26 Mrfai | 6c6 |
| 10:26 Mrfai | < NFSROOT=/srv/fai/nfsroot |
| 10:26 Mrfai | --- |
| 10:26 Mrfai | > NFSROOT=/srv/fai/nfsroot64 |
| 10:26 Mrfai | 32c32 |
| 10:26 Mrfai | < FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP_OPTS="--exclude=dhcp-client,info" |
| 10:26 Mrfai | --- |
| 10:26 Mrfai | > FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP_OPTS="--arch amd64 --exclude=dhcp-client,info" |
| 10:26 Mrfai | that's all |
| 10:27 Mrfai | then call make-fai-nfsroot -v -C /etc/fai64 |
| 10:31 mgoetze | Mrfai: that's great news, thanks |
| 10:32 verwilst | not 100% fai-related, but it's pretty much in the same line, after the fai'ing, i watch the server come up with console redirection, which looks fine, only the actual prompt never shows |
| 10:33 verwilst | must have sth to do with output to the wrong console i guess |
| 10:33 verwilst | maybe someone here encountered this as well |
| 10:37 verwilst | oh |
| 10:37 verwilst | nm |
| 10:37 verwilst | ;) |

| 11:39 sep | how easy is it to maintain a chroot in fai ? the case beeing a disless workstation chroot on a debian-edu server ? how would i even begin ? |
| 11:40 mgoetze | sep: what advantages do you hope for by using fai? |
| 11:40 h01ger | sep, a single class, using softupdates |

| 11:41 sep | the regular? eg fai softupdate when i want to add a package to many servers, or tweak a config on all servers etc etc |
| 11:41 mgoetze | uh? servers? workstations? i don't understand |
| 11:42 sep | fai installing the servers and the chroots on the servers that the diskless workstations use as the nfs root when they pxe boot |
| 11:42 h01ger | sep, yeah, or run softupdate inside the chroot |
| 11:42 mgoetze | so you have multiple different servers providing different nfsroots? |
| 11:43 verwilst | how should i handle nfsroot customizations? |
| 11:43 verwilst | like different hosts file, ... |
| 11:44 sep | different since they are in different geografical locations byut the chroots are 99% equal.. |
| 11:45 sep | h01ger, thanks ill look into that. |
| 11:46 sep | fai softupdate that installs a chroot inside the pxe running fai install of the server.. |
| 11:46 sep | perhaps easier to do it after the server have booted again... |
| 11:46 sep | fun :) |
