| 01:21 tuv | fai-setup -v log for squeeze: http://paste.debian.net/72051 |
| 01:22 tuv | apparently, aufs-modules-2.6... is not in the repositories, so it needs to be built. how can i automate using module-assistant in this case? |
| 01:22 tuv | also, is cfengine2 absolutely required, or am i free to remove it from NFSROOT without breaking things? |
| 01:24 tuv | also, should i add the packages i want installed on my nodes to the NFSROOT file, or is there somewhere else for that kinda thing |
| 02:32 tuv | turns out aufs is compiled into squeeze kernels |
| 02:54 tuv | i removed aufs-modules-2.6... from /etc/fai/NFSROOT, but fai-setup still fails |
| 02:59 tuv | chroot to nfsroot; aptitude reinstall linux-image-2.6.32-3...; exit chroot; cp nfsroot/boot/initrd* /srv/tftp/fai/ |
| 02:59 tuv | seems to work |
| 03:02 tuv | time to understand what goes into /srv/fai/config |
| 03:31 tuv | phew.. this is really tedious |

| 07:16 tuv | why is the 'info' package excluded in the nfsroot? (--exclude=info as a debootstrap option) |
| Mrfai (~lange@suenner.informatik.uni-koeln.de) joined #fai. |
| 07:45 mgoetze | tuvwx: uhm, well, why do you think you need the "info" package in your nfsroot? |
| 07:46 mgoetze | tuvwx: the stuff in the NFSROOT is only for the installation system. something you want installed on the final system goes in package_config. you should read the fai guide |
| 07:49 tuv | mgoetze: ok.. i get it now. btw, i've been reading the guide for a month now. i have to say, it's somewhat confusing, and not very straightforward to follow in an actual install. i.e. i have to read it all at least once (5 times in my case) before i can start the first step of the installation |
| 07:50 tuv | is cfengine2 absolutely required, or am i free to remove it from NFSROOT/package_config without breaking things? |
| 07:51 mgoetze | tuv: cfengine2 is used in some of the example scripts. if you replace those with your own you can remove cfengine2 |
| 07:51 mgoetze | (incidentally i think /etc/fai/NFSROOT ships with a comment line saying exactly that) |
| 07:51 tuv | mgoetze: scripts in /srv/fai/config? or somewhere else? |
| 07:52 mgoetze | the scripts in /usr/share/doc/fai-doc/examples/simple which almost everyone uses as a starting point for their /srv/fai/config |
| 07:52 tuv | mgoetze: i saw that, but it doesn't really say what exactly in the 'simple' configuration does require cfengine2 |
| 07:53 mgoetze | tuv: grep -r cfagent /srv/fai/config/scripts |
| 07:55 tuv | well, i'm at the stage of understanding /srv/fai/config, which looks like it's going to take some time. i think i've got the rest figured out, and (with some extra work) it seems to work with squeeze too |
| 07:55 mgoetze | it's easily replaced, then again having cfengine in your nfsroot is absolutely harmless, it's not like it will be installed on your final system... |

| 10:05 stockholm | that honors the preinst error code? |
| 10:06 Mrfai | no, not yet. |
| 10:07 Mrfai | but it will go into the next major fai release |
