[09:54] hello there, I'm using a newish version of FAI with setup-storage and trying to ensure that it wipes all old partitions, there's no preserve_ option set and all of the partitions are linux, but for some reason it seems to have kept an old windows partition around [09:54] the config file is essentially the default FAIBASE [09:55] but it seems to have kept a second primary partition around, is there any way to say 'wipe this all'? [09:55] maybe 'preserve_reinstall' ? [10:06] aha oh wait [10:06] perhaps fdisk -l is not displaying things in a nice way [10:06] because cfdisk shows a portion of the disk remaining unpartitioned [10:06] which could explain it :) [10:15] have a look at flag_initial=1 # used by setup-storage [10:16] Mrfai: yeah i thought of that, i'm now 99% sure it was just fdisk -l confusing me [10:16] it seems to be working fine :) [10:16] Mrfai: do you know if the AUFS problems on Ubuntu/2.6.28 have been resolved? [10:37] No, I do not know the status of aufs and ubuntu [10:38] \sh probably knows more about that [10:58] mgoetze: roger that, i guess you've namedropped so hopefully (s)he'll see later on [10:59] thanks for the advice, it definitely was my terrible reading of fdisk that screwed me up, and FAI is as usual working excellently [11:10] Joelio (~joel@87.117.231.19) joined #fai. [11:10] Hi! [11:11] Is there any way that I can create an ISO of all the packaged needed for install? currently I'm using the boot-only cd to bootstrap and NFS export.. but the I need to install a box remotely. [11:11] The server is a dell with a DRAC so I could mount an ISO, but it'd need to have all of the packages installed, as the NFS mount won't be present (firewalls, private IPs etc..) [11:12] is this a job for fai-cd? [11:19] Joelio: definitely, yes. [11:23] E: Malformed line 12 in source list /home/debmirror/aptcache/etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse) [11:23] when trying to run fai-mirror [11:41] Anyone seen this before?

[12:08] it does run through the rest of the packages though [12:14] Joelio: /etc/fai/apt/sources.list cooorect? [12:14] correct, even. [12:25] yes, all present and accounted for.. [12:29] show us.

[15:09] \sh: you're lucky if you don't have any optiplex 320s!
