| 08:36 Nabilou | Hello guys, Is it possible to install packages from sources? |
| 08:36 mgoetze | serge: by default the config space is not directly in the nfsroot, because you might want use the same config space with more than one different nfsroot. or you might want to get the config space from somewhere else entirely, not necessarily via nfs... |
| 08:36 mgoetze | Nabilou: it's as possible as anything else |
| Mrfai (~lange@kueppers.informatik.uni-koeln.de) joined #fai. |
| 08:37 mgoetze | serge: anyway i would suggest you a) stop using etch and b) investigate why the second nfs mount went wrong, rather thank working around the problem ;) |
| allee-k (~allee-k@alleehol.mpe.mpg.de) joined #fai. |
| 09:29 Nabilou | Could you give help me to pick up the trail to install packages from sources with FAI please? |
| 09:29 mgoetze | what packages, what sources, and how much are you paying? |
| 09:30 mgoetze | also, i highly recommend reading the FAI guide, it contains everything you need to know |
| 09:32 Nabilou | asterisk for example with patched sources |
| 09:33 mgoetze | the cleanest thing is to make a new package, put it in a local repository, and add that to your sources.list . there are thousands of HOWTOs on this topic and google will help you find all of them |
| 09:33 mgoetze | however, if you want to compile during every installation, don't let me stop you |
| 09:36 Nabilou | I don't want to compile during every installation, it would be a lost of time... |
| 09:36 Nabilou | Thank you by the way |
| 09:37 mgoetze | np |
| 10:20 mgoetze | hm, looks like ubuntu have given up on start-stop-daemon ... i get a bunch of errors when building a lucid nfsroot: |
| 10:20 mgoetze | start: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused |
| 10:38 Adri2000 | mgoetze: hmm really? yesterday at least I didn't get such errors |
| 10:47 mgoetze | Adri2000: well maybe you are actually running upstart on the system where you built the nfsroot ;) |
| 10:47 mgoetze | Adri2000: but that doesn't make it any better - we don't want the chroot communicating with pid 1 on the host system |
| 10:49 Adri2000 | mgoetze: indeed, the system building the nfsroot is lucid as well... |

| 11:42 mgoetze | hm, so my first attempted lucid install looked like it went fine but actually can't find the root fs on boot... guess i need to change something w.r.t. LVM... |
| 12:00 Adri2000 | mgoetze: hmm, so you had no probem about config dir not mounted like mine? |
| 12:01 mgoetze | Adri2000: no, but i use a lenny nfsroot |
| 12:02 mgoetze | it seems to have worked fine without lvm, only other change i needed so far is that chpasswd no longer takes --md5 option |

| 12:16 Adri2000 | mgoetze: ok. I may try with a lenny nfsroot instead of a lucid one... |
| Nabilou (~Nabilou@mail.sysun-technologies.com) left irc: Ping timeout: 480 seconds |
| 12:29 mgoetze | Adri2000: i've been using this strategy very successfully for lenny and hardy already - always the same nfsroot, just different base.tgz (via basefiles) and config classes. |
| Nabilou (~Nabilou@mail.sysun-technologies.com) joined #fai. |
| 13:51 Adri2000 | found something interesting in make-fai-nfsroot code |
| 13:51 Adri2000 | find etc/init ! -type d | egrep -v "fai|udev|hostname|mountall" | xargs -r rm |
| 13:51 Adri2000 | that explains why some files were missing in /etc/init |
| 13:51 Adri2000 | but why is it doing that? |
| 14:03 Mrfai | It's because otherwise upstart would start to many things. |

| 14:14 Nabilou | Sometimes my clients during the installation try to mount NFS share on the router instead of the FAI server |
| 14:14 Nabilou | But most of the time it works finely |
| 14:14 Nabilou | Any ideas? |
| 14:15 Adri2000 | Mrfai: ok. but statd is necessary for nfs. so I guess it should grep -v statd as well |
| 14:34 Mrfai | is statd on the client needed? on my client there's no statd running during installation |
| 14:35 Mrfai | all nfs directories are mounted using nolock |
| 14:35 Adri2000 | mount.nfs: rpc.statd is not running but is required for remote locking. |
| 14:35 Adri2000 | mount.nfs: Either use '-o nolock' to keep locks local, or start statd. |
| 14:35 Adri2000 | hm |
| 14:35 Adri2000 | where are the nfs mount options defined? |
| 14:38 Mrfai | bin/fai: export romountopt="-o async,noatime,nolock,ro,actimeo=1800" |
| 14:38 Mrfai | later the variable romountopt is used when doing an nfs mount |
| 14:44 Adri2000 | okkkkk |
| 14:44 Adri2000 | :) |
| 14:45 Adri2000 | so, if I manually mount the config dir with $romountopt it works |
| 14:45 Adri2000 | then why does it fail before?! |
| 14:46 Adri2000 | I can't find anything interesting in the logs |

| 15:26 Adri2000 | echo $romountopt works |

| 15:48 Adri2000 | Mrfai: any way I could debug that? :( |

| 16:41 Mrfai | Adri2000: Check everything you have changed. It works in the original FAI version. |
| 17:37 Adri2000 | Mrfai: I don't think I've changed anything... but I'm using the ubuntu package. isn't there a way to see what is happening when fai is supposed to mount the config dir? it would make it easier to see where is the problem |
| siggg (~jean@tra78-5-88-172-128-32.fbx.proxad.net) left irc: Quit: Leaving. |
| 17:39 Mrfai | you can add set -x somewhere in the code. Then you will see a lot of debuggin output |
| 17:46 Adri2000 | ok... |
