[10:32] no the last class in the list that have a partition file is used [10:32] does that only happen for disk partitioning? [10:32] I mean, only one of them getting executed [10:34] well if you compare to eg scripts then yes [10:34] I see, thanks for the info ^_^ [10:53] siggg (~jean@tra78-5-88-172-128-32.fbx.proxad.net) left irc: Ping timeout: 480 seconds [11:07] hmpf, looks like I got to debug the lvm issue myself [11:08] I'm currently looking at /usr/share/fai/setup-storage/Volumes.pm, adding "return;" as first line in get_current_lvm(), at least makes things work further [11:11] but now it fails when calling /lib/udev/vol_id /dev/hda[123] [11:11] (exit status 3) [11:25] siggg (~jean@tra78-1-87-88-161-80.dsl.club-internet.fr) joined #fai.

[14:01] ErKa (keryell@dhcp1.info.enstb.org) left irc: Ping timeout: 480 seconds [14:39] Is it possible with FAI to get a list of possible hosts to install to select from? My boss tells me he knows this is possible, but I haven't read anything about it... [14:48] Oops, syntax demon... [14:49] What I want is a menu that shows up on client boot, which let me chooses which kind of machine will get installed from fai-server [14:50] edoreld1: you can of course run interactive scripts in class/ [14:51] hmm perhaps that might do the trick :) [14:51] though i fear with your lack of unix knowledge you will have a hard time with that :) [14:53] meh [14:53] I can do that [14:54] But if I run a custom script, then I will lose the ability to run my classes. For example, now I define the class FIREWALL to install a hosts with firewall-specific configurations. If I have to run an interactive script to customize the configuration for a firewall, then I don't know which classes I have to define first! [14:55] Of course I can define common classes that everyone shares, but specific ones aren't know until the menu option is chosen [14:57] Unless classes can be defined after I run my custom script...now can they? [14:57] sure [14:58] ifclass FOO && echo BAR [14:58] ah [14:58] so easy !? [14:58] :) [14:58] of course it's easy, th hard part is the interactive script [15:00] I'm certainly missing something here, but what is hard about the script? [15:02] setting up the terminal so it behaves nicely, for instance :) [15:02] oh... [15:02] I was kinda hoping it was worked out of the box :) [15:03] like: echo "What ya wanna install?" [15:03] read answer [15:03] ^^ [15:03] more sophisticated than that.. [15:06] well you go ahead and write the script, i'm sure you'll see how easy it is :) i don't know why you want to do this, so... [15:10] I don't really want to, it's my boss. [15:10] He says he's already seen it in action [15:11] this should be in a situation where any client that boots from pxe connected to the fai server is allowed to use fai [15:11] so if u want to install a firewall, just connect it to fai-server, boot it up on pxe, choose firewall from a menu, and let it run [15:12] the question is why you don't already know that it should be a firewall [15:14] Before it gets installed of course I know it's a firewall. Or a businesserver, or whatever. But instead of having to change the conf files in dhcpd.conf, it should let me choose from a menu what i want to install. In that case I will choose firewall [15:15] maybe just xa pxelinux menu ? [15:15] pxe [15:15] a [15:15] (what he seen) [15:15] yeah probably [15:16] a preseed per choiche [15:16] but that would IMHO defaut benefit FAI [15:16] actually here at work we have a complicated pxelinux setup where you can install via various fai servers, but also rhel kickstart, suse, etc. [15:16] defeat [15:16] aha [15:17] nice [15:26] verwilst (~verwilst@router.begen1.office.netnoc.eu) left irc: Quit: Ex-Chat [15:26] ErKa (keryell@m6.wifi.enstb.org) joined #fai.
