09:32 verwilst	can i use the classes or sth to enable other profiles based on chipsets or anything system-related?
09:32 verwilst	like if [ `uname -a` == "bleh" ]; echo MYCLASS; fi
09:32 mgoetze	verwilst: you can execute aritrary scripts to define classes, so there is no limit to what you can do...
09:33 verwilst	the sky is the limit ;)
09:38 edoreld	not even that, heh ;)
09:40 telmich	good morning
09:40 telmich	I'm trying to format my stuff with jfs, install jfsutils, but mksf.jfs /dev/hda1 seems not to do anything (state S) after the udevadm settle ... stuff
09:41 telmich	did anyone in here see that before?
09:43 telmich	argh, it waits for a confirmation
09:43 oz_	what confirmation?
Action: telmich tries createopts="-q" now
09:44 telmich	oz_: "do you really want to format?"
09:51 oz_	telmich: hell, say no! you'll loose all your data !1!1!1! ;)
10:12 telmich	oz_: oh, I though they were save to ... err .. yeah ;-)
10:19 kai_bo	moin! hat noch jemand das problem das die default locale nicht ordentlich per debconf gesetzt wird? Alle anderen Einstellung werden von debconf übernommen, nur die default locale nicht....
10:23 oz_	kai_bo: gold:~# cat /srv/fai/config/debconf/GERMAN
10:23 oz_	locales locales/default_environment_locale select de_DE.UTF-8
10:23 oz_	locales locales/locales_to_be_generated multiselect de_DE.UTF-8 UTF-8
10:23 oz_	xserver-xorg xserver-xorg/config/inputdevice/keyboard/layout string de
10:23 oz_	for GERMAN
10:23 oz_	this works here.
10:23 kai_bo	right
10:23 kai_bo	exacty like this looks my GERMAN class
10:24 kai_bo	but after the installation the default locale ist not set...
10:24 oz_	maybe there's some other class resetting this
10:25 kai_bo	I doubt it, but i will check it again
10:26 telmich	kai_bo: did you have a look at fai.log?
10:28 kai_bo	yes; it says: Adding debconf data from /var/lib/fai/config/debconf/GERMAN
10:29 kai_bo	but i notice in my  GERMAN clalls there ist first  "locales locales/locales_to_be_generated multiselect de_DE.UTF-8 UTF-8" and then "locales locales/default_environment_locale select de_DE.UTF-8
10:29 kai_bo	coult that be a problem?
11:10 kai_bo	it seems that debconf is setting everything correct, but after an "apt-get install locales" during the installation the default locale is set None via the locales package....
11:10 kai_bo	(debian lenny)
11:36 verwilst	configuring software raid, is it still done like this: http://faiwiki.informatik.uni-koeln.de/index.php/User:Svamberg/Software_RAID with the new partitioning thingy?
11:37 verwilst	oh, just found another page
11:55 edoreld	I'm getting a lot of "No such file or directory" on fai-client install (after the red logo, which also fails with same error & also "read-only file system" (debian etch).
simNIX (~simNIX@156-60.bbned.dsl.internl.net) left irc: Quit: Ik ga weg
11:58 edoreld	for example -> chmod: cannot access /target/var/log/192.168.1.229/install-" no such file or directory :/
12:01 Mrfai	edoreld: log files cal tell us much more. use paste.debian.net
12:03 edoreld	ok altough the normal log files didn't get created :/
12:03 edoreld	I got some though
12:03 edoreld	1 sec
12:05 edoreld	actually there are 3 logs and none of them give any useful information :/
12:06 edoreld	bootstrap.log, dpkg.log & auth.log
12:08 oz_	edoreld: are you booting with the 'boot=live' option?
12:13 kai_bo	I got my locales problem solved...
12:13 edoreld	I'm not sure, I ran "fai-chboot -IFv <host>" and then just booted
12:13 kai_bo	If anyone is interested: http://dpaste.com/57139/ is executed as a script in last

12:24 verwilst	anyone doing software raid with the new partitioning scheme?
12:26 oz_	edoreld: you should be able to check this
12:26 edoreld	please kindly tell me how would I go about doing that :)
12:28 kai_bo	verwilst: yes, we do
12:29 oz_	edoreld: it'S all written in the FAI guide...
12:29 oz_	how do you boot?
12:29 oz_	pxe?
12:29 edoreld	pxe
12:30 oz_	then look for you tftpd root
12:30 edoreld	ok
12:31 verwilst	kai_bo: /boot as raid, works? :)
12:32 kai_bo	verwilst: this is our disk_config which really works ;)
12:32 kai_bo	http://dpaste.com/57145/
12:32 verwilst	aha :) very nice :)
12:32 kai_bo	and yes, /boot is on a raid1 ;)
12:33 verwilst	Using config file: /var/lib/fai/config/disk_config/FAIBASE
12:33 verwilst	grr
12:33 verwilst	i have a SOFTRAID class before FAIBASE
12:33 verwilst	shouldn't it take that one then?
12:33 verwilst	kai_bo: good to know /boot on raid1 works :)
12:34 oz_	yay! raid on /boot
12:34 Mrfai	kai_bo: you really have this in your disk_config? raid1<----->/boot<->disk1.1,disk2.1>ext3<-->rw
12:34 Mrfai	IMO <-----> and <-> is very bad
12:35 oz_	looks really weird
12:35 kai_bo	no, the <--> are just from mcedit when I pasted the file
12:36 kai_bo	I got so familar with mcedit displaying them for space and tabs that i did not notice them during the paste....
12:37 oz_	repaste it, then
12:38 kai_bo	already on its way
12:38 kai_bo	http://dpaste.com/57154/
12:39 verwilst	how is the order determined in disk_config?
12:39 verwilst	if my class does echo SOFTRAID FAILBASE
12:39 verwilst	shouldnt it use SOFTRAID first?
12:39 verwilst	FAIBASE* ( i watch too much failblog :) )
12:41 verwilst	kai_bo: you actually like all the <---->'s in your files while viewing em? :)
12:43 kai_bo	kai_bo: yes ;) I even find it very helpful when formatting a file or doing some stuff in python ;)
12:43 kai_bo	verwilst : yes ;) I even find it very helpful when formatting a file or doing some stuff in python ;)

13:30 verwilst	kai_bo: pretty kinky imo :P
14:10 kai_bo	verwilst: actually in the editor the signs are not so prominent as in the paste, they are more a slight pale blue while the background in mcedit is a dark blue
14:14 verwilst	ah yeah
14:14 verwilst	but still.. :d
14:34 verwilst	kai_bo: did you change your grub install or config to be able to boot?
14:34 verwilst	since my grub refuses ;)
14:37 kai_bo	mmhh, no, but we made a small patch for setup_storage, since we wanted a raid1, but there was only one drive in our development system, thats all
16:00 verwilst	it works!
16:01 kai_bo	nice ;)
16:01 verwilst	i had a swap param on my sdb3
16:01 verwilst	which is part of the raidset
16:01 verwilst	which made it complain about UUID shizzle
16:01 verwilst	:)
16:01 verwilst	off for the weekend!

16:03 EvilDennisR	hrrm, my rootfs doesn't seem to have /var/lib/fai/, and makes fai dump me to a shell
16:04 EvilDennisR	/srv/fai/nfsroot/live/filesystem.dir/var/lib/fai/ exists however
16:05 EvilDennisR	is the rootfs created on the fly or something ?
16:06 mgoetze	aufs
16:08 EvilDennisR	I changed FAI= to /mnt, and that fixed that problem, however dpkg needs to write stuff to /var/lib/apt - which also doesn't exist
16:11 eartoast	moin
16:12 eartoast	is anybody coming to linuxtag here in berlin?
16:12 EvilDennisR	!/me
16:12 EvilDennisR	its a little far for me =)
16:12 eartoast	I still have free tickets available...
16:13 eartoast	EvilDennisR: where are you from?
16:13 EvilDennisR	Boston, Mass, usa
16:13 eartoast	ok, thats really far ;)
16:13 EvilDennisR	heh, yup
16:14 EvilDennisR	mgoetze: So how do I get aufs to create those directories in /var/lib/ ?
16:16 eartoast	EvilDennisR: aufs simply making / writable by overlaying it with a ramdisk
16:16 EvilDennisR	so how do I have my ramdisk create them in /var/lib/ =)
16:18 eartoast	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 EvilDennisR	Yeah, it looks like its using both for some reason
16:19 eartoast	which version of FAI are you using and on which distro?
16:19 EvilDennisR	I created a file in /srv/fai/nfsroot/live/filesystem.dir/root/ and its there if I ls /root/
16:20 mgoetze	eartoast: i think edoreld is going
16:20 mgoetze	EvilDennisR: dunno, it just works for me :)
16:20 EvilDennisR	3.2.17~lenny fai-server
16:20 EvilDennisR	is running on ubuntu hardy (8.04), and its trying to fai as jaunty (9.04)
16:21 EvilDennisR	I should prolly get the 3.2.20 debs
16:22 EvilDennisR	mgoetze: it used to just work for me when I was faiing machines with hardy
16:22 EvilDennisR	got some new blade servers, kernel didn't work with em, we figured we should upgrade
16:22 EvilDennisR	thus I'm dicking around with fai again =)
16:23 eartoast	hm.
16:23 EvilDennisR	I'm gonna install the 3.2.20 packages just for shits
16:23 eartoast	didn't experiment with jaunty...
16:23 eartoast	maybe there is something in the initrd
16:24 EvilDennisR	I wouldnt doubt it
16:24 eartoast	which mounts another tmpfs under /var/lib ?
16:24 EvilDennisR	I was batteling with that thing all yesterday
16:24 eartoast	when you are dropped into the shell, what does 'mount' say?
16:24 EvilDennisR	the ubuntu guys forgot to add the bnx2x ethernet driver to get added with update-initramfs
16:25 EvilDennisR	root fs on / type rootfs
16:25 eartoast	nothing more?
16:25 EvilDennisR	gr, I can't paste because I'm connected on the ilo
16:25 EvilDennisR	leme ssh in, hold on
16:28 EvilDennisR	http://pastebin.com/md1a87b0
16:29 EvilDennisR	for some reason our pastebin on pidgin.im/nopaste is still f'ing broken
16:29 EvilDennisR	http://pastebin.com/m5fd95b7 (mount)
16:33 eartoast	hm
16:33 eartoast	looks funny...
16:34 eartoast	maybe a missing chroot/pivot_root?
16:34 EvilDennisR	??
16:34 EvilDennisR	you tell me =)
16:34 EvilDennisR	I haven't messed with any of this setup in like a year
16:35 EvilDennisR	so I'm a little hazy on configs and such
16:35 eartoast	ls -l /live/var/lib
16:35 eartoast	sry
16:35 eartoast	ls -l /live/image/var/lib
16:35 EvilDennisR	doesn't exist
16:36 EvilDennisR	/live/image/live/filesystem.dir/var/lib/ ?
16:36 EvilDennisR	theres cow and image in /live/
16:36 eartoast	yes, 'image' is the ro-nfsroot
16:36 EvilDennisR	yup
16:37 eartoast	and 'cow' the tmpfs that is overlayed
16:37 eartoast	/live/image/live/filesystem.dir/var/lib/ ?
16:37 EvilDennisR	it exists, yup
16:38 eartoast	and contains?
16:39 EvilDennisR	apt/  aptitude/  cfengine2/  dhcp3/  dpkg/  dumpdates  fai/  initramfs-tools/  initscripts/  libuuid/  locales/  logrotate/  mdadm/  misc/  nfs/  pam/  ucf/  urandom/  vim/
16:40 EvilDennisR	so fai is there
16:40 EvilDennisR	but is not in /var/lib/
16:41 eartoast	any error messages from the live-initramfs scripts?
16:42 EvilDennisR	checking /target/var/log/fai/ ..
16:43 EvilDennisR	only logs that have "useful" stuff in them are dmesg.log and fai.log, both don't contain anything about initramfs
16:44 EvilDennisR	dmesg.log:[    0.440866] checking if image is initramfs... it is
16:50 eartoast	an idea would be to unpack the initrd and grep for any script messing with /var/lib
16:50 EvilDennisR	already doing that =)
16:51 EvilDennisR	scripts/live:           cow_dirs='/var/tmp /var/lock /var/run /var/log /var/spool /home /var/lib/live'
16:52 eartoast	it could be that there is something 'cleaning' /var/lib/ (which is not a good idea, actually)
16:52 EvilDennisR	thats the only result I get when I get for var/lib
16:52 EvilDennisR	s/for/for grep/
16:52 eartoast	nope. cow means copy-on-write, I suspect this refers to the aufs-overlays.
16:53 eartoast	FAI doesnt touch /var/lib, AFAIR
16:54 eartoast	so I don't think that a fai upgrade would help you
16:55 eartoast	is there any script running before rcS_fai ?
16:56 eartoast	this should actually be the _first_ (and last) script started by init
16:56 EvilDennisR	theres like nothing in /target/var/logs/
16:57 EvilDennisR	leme check actual /var/logs/
16:58 eartoast	well, /target/ should be empty...
16:58 eartoast	if fai exited that early
16:58 EvilDennisR	yeah, it is except for /var/
16:58 eartoast	whats in /etc/rcS.d ?
16:59 eartoast	argh. gotta go, looks like rain and I am here by bike...
16:59 eartoast	c u
16:59 EvilDennisR	its raining here too =/
