[09:21] mgoetze: you need to to thins anyway [09:22] But I think I better use an *.iso mount [09:22] nfs is not so good 'outside' (NFS =~ No File Security) [09:23] or does anyone have another suggestion? [09:23] nfs4+kerberos :) [09:24] because of the ':)'... [09:24] serious? [09:25] well i've never tried it, i'm sure maswan can tell you more about it [09:27] nfs4 has real security as opposed to just IP "security" [09:28] kerberos is probably the only one that is well-tested of the security models there though, and I use "well-tested" loosely [09:28] :-) [09:28] but no, we don't do firewalls, so we've never run into that problem [09:29] I guess, I start with my *.iso solution and follow the development [09:29] and I hope I can develop myself again, when I fixed this network here.

[14:06] hi [14:06] I have got a problem with fai / grub installation [14:06] everything seems correctly installed, but after de client install [14:07] I reboot and it seems that grub was not installed correctly [14:07] I don't have the "menu", only a kind of grub shell [14:07] can someone help me ? :s [14:08] have a look at fai.log and shell.log [14:08] Action: Mrfai brb [14:08] Mrfai (~lange@suenner.informatik.uni-koeln.de) left irc: Quit: leaving [14:08] Mrfai (~lange@kueppers.informatik.uni-koeln.de) joined #fai. [14:09] Mrfai: nothing special in the logs [14:13] gcorvala: did you try to do : 'config /grub/menu.lst' in the grub shell ? [14:15] I had some problem with grub on ubuntu. Something related to menu.lst and ucf. [14:16] mrlt [14:16] proti: 'config /grub...' not work [14:17] i must go, i'll retry tonight [14:17] thx all [14:17] gcorvala (~gcorvala@di-pc8.ulb.ac.be) left irc: Quit: Ex-Chat [14:24] Mrfai: I think I understand my problem but I don't know why. [14:25] /var/lib got white'outed for whatever reason (when making the nfsroot). [14:26] Then I did a touch in every directory of /var/lib on the server and suddenly, they appeared on the client. [14:26] Something related to a timestamp which got refreshed. [14:28] ok, maybe the client only sees /var which was inside the initrd before you touch a file inside /var [14:28] I have to check how the union-mount is done. [14:29] The good news is once the mount is ok, the fai works beautifully. [14:29] But for 2 little things. [14:30] 1 problem with mtab (mounting nfs DEBMIRROR yields a error status of 16 - it cannot change the permissions of mtab). [14:31] Should be harmless but the mount command considers anything different from 0 to be an unrecoverable error. [14:31] And breaks the install. [14:31] /etc/mtab is a symlink to /proc/mounts. Maybe we can revert this, so mtab is a file again [14:32] this symlinks is created in make-fai-nfsroot [14:32] I tried to exclude the errorcode 16 which is mount is ok but cannot change the permissions which the install don't care at all. [14:32] This works ok. [14:32] siggg (~jean@tra78-1-87-88-161-80.dsl.club-internet.fr) left irc: Quit: Leaving. [14:41] 2nd problem is that make-fai-nfsroot forgets to install rsyslog. This yields some error codes at startup (like rsyslog not found). [14:42] And always, setup-storage has problems cleaning up disks with raid and lvm already present. [14:42] But now, swap creation works great compared to the last version we tried (was 3.2.8). [14:42] easy to fix. Just add rsyslog to /etc/fai/NFSROOT [14:43] Maybe, maybe it should go to make-fai-nfsroot. [14:44] no, packagtes are defined in /etc/fai/NFSROOT. In Debian rsyslog is always added by debootstrap [14:45] Ok. Not in ubuntu. [14:45] I would be nice, if you could post a short mail about your experiences with FAI 3.2.x and ubuntu x.y to the linux-fai mailing list [14:45] there are always people interested in those stories [14:45] Ok, i'll do it. [14:46] Next, I would like to choose the distribution to install. [14:47] For this, I could use different nfsroot. [14:47] what do you mean by different distributions? different architecures like i386 and amd64? [14:48] No, different version, like sid etch lenny. [14:48] Or hardy, intrepid, jaunty ... [14:49] If I understand well, the nfsroot install a base using a base.tgz build when debootstrapping the nfsroot. [14:50] ok. Should be possible with the same nfsroot. You can use different base.tar.gz files. [14:50] there's a subdirectory basefile. There you can create different base file for (etch, lenny, jaunty,...) [14:50] Then define a clas JAUNTY, ETCH, LENNY and this file will be used [14:51] Finially, adjust the sources.list file for this class. Ready. [14:51] or copy the sources.lsit file using the fcopy command [14:51] The sources.list is the one on the nfsroot ? [14:51] normally yes [14:51] But you can copy whatever version of it to /target [14:51] before isntalling packages [14:52] Hu ? How is the /target/etc/apt/sources.list used in the install ? [14:53] I thought only the /etc/apt/sources.list was used. [15:06] when isntalling packages, FAI does a chroot into /target and installs packages there. So everything is done inside /target [15:29] siggg (~jean@tra78-1-87-88-161-80.dsl.club-internet.fr) joined #fai.
