[16:13] Boston, Mass, usa [16:13] ok, thats really far ;) [16:13] heh, yup [16:14] mgoetze: So how do I get aufs to create those directories in /var/lib/ ? [16:16] EvilDennisR: aufs simply making / writable by overlaying it with a ramdisk [16:16] so how do I have my ramdisk create them in /var/lib/ =) [16:18] this problem sounds a bit strange... in principle, every file/dir of the read-only nfs root should be visible and read/writable... [16:19] Yeah, it looks like its using both for some reason [16:19] which version of FAI are you using and on which distro? [16:19] I created a file in /srv/fai/nfsroot/live/filesystem.dir/root/ and its there if I ls /root/ [16:20] eartoast: i think edoreld is going [16:20] EvilDennisR: dunno, it just works for me :) [16:20] 3.2.17~lenny fai-server [16:20] is running on ubuntu hardy (8.04), and its trying to fai as jaunty (9.04) [16:21] I should prolly get the 3.2.20 debs [16:22] mgoetze: it used to just work for me when I was faiing machines with hardy [16:22] got some new blade servers, kernel didn't work with em, we figured we should upgrade [16:22] thus I'm dicking around with fai again =) [16:23] hm. [16:23] I'm gonna install the 3.2.20 packages just for shits [16:23] didn't experiment with jaunty... [16:23] maybe there is something in the initrd [16:24] I wouldnt doubt it [16:24] which mounts another tmpfs under /var/lib ? [16:24] I was batteling with that thing all yesterday [16:24] when you are dropped into the shell, what does 'mount' say? [16:24] the ubuntu guys forgot to add the bnx2x ethernet driver to get added with update-initramfs [16:25] root fs on / type rootfs [16:25] nothing more?

[16:34] maybe a missing chroot/pivot_root? [16:34] ?? [16:34] you tell me =) [16:34] I haven't messed with any of this setup in like a year [16:35] so I'm a little hazy on configs and such [16:35] ls -l /live/var/lib [16:35] sry [16:35] ls -l /live/image/var/lib [16:35] doesn't exist [16:36] /live/image/live/filesystem.dir/var/lib/ ? [16:36] theres cow and image in /live/ [16:36] yes, 'image' is the ro-nfsroot [16:36] yup [16:37] and 'cow' the tmpfs that is overlayed [16:37] /live/image/live/filesystem.dir/var/lib/ ? [16:37] it exists, yup [16:38] and contains? [16:39] apt/ aptitude/ cfengine2/ dhcp3/ dpkg/ dumpdates fai/ initramfs-tools/ initscripts/ libuuid/ locales/ logrotate/ mdadm/ misc/ nfs/ pam/ ucf/ urandom/ vim/ [16:40] so fai is there [16:40] but is not in /var/lib/ [16:41] any error messages from the live-initramfs scripts? [16:42] checking /target/var/log/fai/ .. [16:43] only logs that have "useful" stuff in them are dmesg.log and fai.log, both don't contain anything about initramfs [16:44] dmesg.log:[ 0.440866] checking if image is initramfs... it is [16:50] an idea would be to unpack the initrd and grep for any script messing with /var/lib [16:50] already doing that =) [16:51] scripts/live: cow_dirs='/var/tmp /var/lock /var/run /var/log /var/spool /home /var/lib/live' [16:52] it could be that there is something 'cleaning' /var/lib/ (which is not a good idea, actually) [16:52] thats the only result I get when I get for var/lib [16:52] s/for/for grep/ [16:52] nope. cow means copy-on-write, I suspect this refers to the aufs-overlays. [16:53] FAI doesnt touch /var/lib, AFAIR [16:54] so I don't think that a fai upgrade would help you [16:55] is there any script running before rcS_fai ? [16:56] this should actually be the _first_ (and last) script started by init [16:56] theres like nothing in /target/var/logs/ [16:57] leme check actual /var/logs/ [16:58] well, /target/ should be empty...
