[09:41] justleen (~leen@rev-131-102.virtu.nl) joined #fai. [09:43] hello [09:43] Can I ask some help with a LVM disk config? [10:01] justleen: go ahead [10:03] I keep getting errors that my VG would be to big [10:04] while Im well within the disk space [10:04] 72GB sas disk trying to create the following: [10:04] disk_config disk1 bootable:1 [10:05] primary /boot 300 ext3 rw [10:05] primary - 4069- - - [10:05] disk_config lvm [10:05] vg VG1 disk1.1 [10:05] VG1-_root / 8000 ext3 rw [10:05] VG1-_swap swap 4096 swap sw [10:07] when running the install it fail with "Volume group VG1 requires 12096 MB, but available space was estimated to be 295.069790039063" [10:07] when checking pv / vg / lv, all seems well.. [10:12] I would replace disk1.1 by disk1.2 [10:13] (not sure though, as I use sda? syntax) [10:14] i tried using sda, but thats doenst work (sas disk, /dev/cciss/c0d0) [10:14] tried c0d0 as well, again didnt work well [10:16] ill try 1.2 [10:18] The PV Name must be logged by FAI, whatever it is [10:18] how do you mean? [10:19] FAI maps "disk1" to a device name, so you should find this name in format.log [10:20] ah, like so [10:20] yes it does find it like disk1 [10:27] I juste tried with disk1.2, seems to work fine (FAI 3.4.1) [10:29] works so far [10:29] just rebooting it now.. [10:32] can't find the root filessytem now, after correctly installing [10:32] Stuck in initramfs? [10:33] no [10:33] Begin: Mounting root file system ... Begin: Running /scripts/local-top ... done. [10:33] Begin: Waiting for root file system .. [10:34] and then drops to init [10:35] It's what I meant :) [10:36] I've seen this one with SCSI disks, the disks are not ready whe initrd starts, so no root filesystem [10:37] As a workaround I set a delay in Grub [10:38] The grub-pc line is the following: [10:38] linux /vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-686 root=/dev/mapper/vg0-root ro single rootdelay=10 [10:38] cool [10:38] lemme try that.. [10:42] hm, only difference is that it drops quicker to initram [10:44] why would it be disk1.2? [10:44] doest it start from 1 or 0?? [10:45] Second partition of disk1 [10:45] disk number starts from 1, so I guess it's the same for partitions [10:47] What's the device for root in your grub config? [10:47] yes, your right. I complained it only has 295 of free space, that (duh) matches my 300MB for the boot partition, 1.1 [10:47] so thats fixed, just need it to get it to boot now ;) [10:53] hrm, let's see if I can use FAI just to partition the HDDs [11:01] adding bootdelays doesnt help.. [11:02] are any other packages needed aside from lvm? [11:02] Maybe grub is looking for the wrong device? [11:03] perhaps.. ill change the disk layout, to have root on a "normal" partion and create a test LVM [11:03] lvm is enough, as long as it's included in initrd [11:04] First you can just look at the device in grub.cfg [11:13] siggg (~jean@tra78-3-82-244-85-196.fbx.proxad.net) joined #fai. [11:17] does storage setup leave existing lvm's untouched? [11:18] it seems it doesnt repartition by default? [11:46] It does repartition, unless you tell it not to so so with a preserve_* flag [11:55] weird.. [11:55] i dont use the preserve flag [11:56] yet when running fai a second time on a client, with a smaller LV, it tries to resize it [11:56] which is strange...? [12:05] AFAIK, resizing an existing VG must be explicitely requested by a flag [12:06] You may ask implementation details of setup-storage on the mailing list [12:16] thats what I would expect indeed.

Install fai 3.4.3 and create the nfsroot (a squeeze one by default) [13:24] Then install your clients with squeeze [14:12] Mrfai: and what repo do I need to grab 3.4.3 :) [14:12] Ikarus: see topic [14:13] deb http://fai-project.org/download squeeze koeln [14:14] =/me writes running multi-boot installations using gPXE, gpxelinux, FAI and RIS [15:13] administrat0r (~chatzilla@mm-187-202-84-93.dynamic.pppoe.mgts.by) joined #fai.

[19:46] on my CDs, i put ip=::::eth0:dhcp , and it doesn't seem to care. [19:55] 3.4.2 [19:55] ip=::::eth0:dhcp? is that some sort of IPv6? [19:56] perhaps I should specify a device... what parameter do I use for that? [19:56] ip=192.168.0.1:eth0 ? [19:59] oh, I do want to use a server with the CD, if possible...
