| 09:54 Winkie | 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 Winkie | the config file is essentially the default FAIBASE |
| 09:55 Winkie | but it seems to have kept a second primary partition around, is there any way to say 'wipe this all'? |
| 09:55 Winkie | maybe 'preserve_reinstall' ? |
| 10:06 Winkie | aha oh wait |
| 10:06 Winkie | perhaps fdisk -l is not displaying things in a nice way |
| 10:06 Winkie | because cfdisk shows a portion of the disk remaining unpartitioned |
| 10:06 Winkie | which could explain it :) |
| 10:15 Mrfai | have a look at flag_initial=1 # used by setup-storage |
| 10:16 Winkie | Mrfai: yeah i thought of that, i'm now 99% sure it was just fdisk -l confusing me |
| 10:16 Winkie | it seems to be working fine :) |
| 10:16 Winkie | Mrfai: do you know if the AUFS problems on Ubuntu/2.6.28 have been resolved? |
| 10:37 Mrfai | No, I do not know the status of aufs and ubuntu |
| 10:38 mgoetze | \sh probably knows more about that |
| 10:58 Winkie | mgoetze: roger that, i guess you've namedropped so hopefully (s)he'll see later on |
| 10:59 Winkie | 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 | Hi! |
| 11:11 Joelio | 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 Joelio | 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 Joelio | is this a job for fai-cd? |
| 11:19 oz__ | Joelio: definitely, yes. |
| 11:23 Joelio | E: Malformed line 12 in source list /home/debmirror/aptcache/etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse) |
| 11:23 Joelio | when trying to run fai-mirror |
| 11:41 Joelio | Anyone seen this before? |
| 11:44 Joelio | cracked it :) |
| 11:47 Joelio | ERROR: No suitable Packages file found in mirror. |
| 11:47 Joelio | Now :( |
| 11:47 oz__ | prolly a typo |
| cbmuser (~glaubitz@z6.physik.fu-berlin.de) left irc: Quit: dust and check hardware. |
| 12:08 Joelio | grr.. it seems fai-mirror is failing again.. it's breaking at |
| 12:08 Joelio | E: Couldn't find package nfs-common |
| 12:08 Joelio | wtf? |
| 12:08 Joelio | it does run through the rest of the packages though |
| 12:14 oz__ | Joelio: /etc/fai/apt/sources.list cooorect? |
| 12:14 oz__ | correct, even. |
| 12:25 Joelio | yes, all present and accounted for.. |
| 12:29 oz__ | show us. |

| 14:39 \sh | so |
| 14:39 \sh | Who wanted something? |
| 14:40 \sh | Winkie: Regarding http://faiwiki.informatik.uni-koeln.de/index.php/UbuntuJauntyInstallationHowTo it works with jaunty and jaunty has 2.6.28 |
| 14:45 Winkie | \sh: it was me |
| 14:46 Winkie | \sh: a while ago, probably a month or so, i tried jaunty and debian with 2.6.28 |
| 14:46 Winkie | and every time i consistently got a kernel panic |
| 14:46 Winkie | i suspect i sent you the pics of the screen |
| 14:46 Winkie | do you remember this problem? can you confirm whether it's fixed? |
| 14:46 \sh | Winkie: robert markula posted this howto...and for him it worked |
| 14:46 \sh | Winkie: nope..I'm still using lenny for deploying ubuntu servers |
| 14:47 Winkie | \sh: right, well i'll give it a go then i guess, we're also using lenny, but the problem is we have Dell Optiplex 320s |
| 14:47 Winkie | which will only boot reliably on >=2.6.28 |
| 14:47 Winkie | and 2.6.28 consistently gave a nasty kernel panic on debian/ubuntu and 3 different bits of hardware :( |
| 14:47 Winkie | hopefully that's fixed now, i'll let you know |
| 14:48 \sh | Winkie: would you pls send me your email again...so I can have a look again in my mail archive |
| 14:50 Winkie | \sh: i don't know if i sent you an email, or just links to some pictures i took |
| 14:50 Winkie | one second, i will check my logs |
| 14:50 Winkie | bugger, don't have logs from that far back on here |
| 14:51 \sh | Winkie: anyways...I would direct you to robert markula from here...(check the ML archives) he's reachable via mail |
| 14:51 \sh | (dunno if he's on irc) |
| 14:51 Winkie | \sh: right, well first things first is to actually test it |
| 14:51 Winkie | i will check out whether it works |
| 14:55 \sh | Winkie: hehe :) I'm testing too...just working on a marriage of FAI + django as frontend |
| 15:00 Winkie | \sh: oh god django |
| 15:00 Winkie | sorry i have a lot of python and any web 2.0 hate |
| 15:00 Winkie | i'm just looking to have a consistent image across 40 or so PCs without having to manually install them |
| 15:05 \sh | Winkie: hehe...I'm at 250 now :) so I need something which can be used as frontend for the juniors to install servers... |
| 15:09 Winkie | \sh: you're lucky if you don't have any optiplex 320s! |
| 15:12 Winkie | anyway i'm just setting up the basic FAI on this machine now |
| 15:12 Winkie | i have 50 mins left here |
| 15:15 \sh | Winkie: I don't buy any dell hardware anymore :) |
| 15:15 Winkie | \sh: we tried that, bought some HP desktops, they're almost as bad |
| 15:16 Winkie | \sh: who do you use for desktop PCs? |
| 15:16 \sh | lenovo :) |
| 15:16 \sh | desktops and laptops |
| 15:16 \sh | i mean the desktops are built with laptop hardware ,) |
| 15:17 Winkie | haha they are? |
| 15:17 \sh | some of the models yes |
| 15:17 mgoetze | who needs desktops anyway? |
| kai_bo (~kai@statdsl-085-016-072-173.ewe-ip-backbone.de) left irc: Quit: Verlassend |
| 15:17 \sh | mgoetze: workstations is much better..and more expensive..and those machines you are building from scratch ;) |
| 15:24 Winkie | oh bugger |
| 15:24 Winkie | i had forgotten that ubuntu 9.04, the fai-server comes with hardy in the sources.list |
| 15:24 \sh | Winkie: right...it's still an old version of fai..working on an update these days |
| 15:26 Winkie | \sh: that's fine, it's whether i get a crash on the client that matters to me |
| 15:27 Winkie | the howto you linked me to was very extensive, but i think i have covered all the normal things |
| 15:27 Winkie | so we'll see in about 10 mins when it finishes bootstrapping |
