| 09:43 justleen | hello |
| 09:43 justleen | Can I ask some help with a LVM disk config? |
| 10:01 Nic0 | justleen: go ahead |
| 10:03 justleen | I keep getting errors that my VG would be to big |
| 10:04 justleen | while Im well within the disk space |
| 10:04 justleen | 72GB sas disk trying to create the following: |
| 10:04 justleen | disk_config disk1 bootable:1 |
| 10:05 justleen | primary /boot 300 ext3 rw |
| 10:05 justleen | primary - 4069- - - |
| 10:05 justleen | disk_config lvm |
| 10:05 justleen | vg VG1 disk1.1 |
| 10:05 justleen | VG1-_root / 8000 ext3 rw |
| 10:05 justleen | VG1-_swap swap 4096 swap sw |
| 10:07 justleen | when running the install it fail with "Volume group VG1 requires 12096 MB, but available space was estimated to be 295.069790039063" |
| 10:07 justleen | when checking pv / vg / lv, all seems well.. |
| 10:12 Nic0 | I would replace disk1.1 by disk1.2 |
| 10:13 Nic0 | (not sure though, as I use sda? syntax) |
| 10:14 justleen | i tried using sda, but thats doenst work (sas disk, /dev/cciss/c0d0) |
| 10:14 justleen | tried c0d0 as well, again didnt work well |
| 10:16 justleen | ill try 1.2 |
| 10:18 Nic0 | The PV Name must be logged by FAI, whatever it is |
| 10:18 justleen | how do you mean? |
| 10:19 Nic0 | FAI maps "disk1" to a device name, so you should find this name in format.log |
| 10:20 justleen | ah, like so |
| 10:20 justleen | yes it does find it like disk1 |
| 10:27 Nic0 | I juste tried with disk1.2, seems to work fine (FAI 3.4.1) |
| 10:29 justleen | works so far |
| 10:29 justleen | just rebooting it now.. |
| 10:32 justleen | can't find the root filessytem now, after correctly installing |
| 10:32 Nic0 | Stuck in initramfs? |
| 10:33 justleen | no |
| 10:33 justleen | Begin: Mounting root file system ... Begin: Running /scripts/local-top ... done. |
| 10:33 justleen | Begin: Waiting for root file system .. |
| 10:34 justleen | and then drops to init |
| 10:35 Nic0 | It's what I meant :) |
| 10:36 Nic0 | I've seen this one with SCSI disks, the disks are not ready whe initrd starts, so no root filesystem |
| 10:37 Nic0 | As a workaround I set a delay in Grub |
| 10:38 Nic0 | The grub-pc line is the following: |
| 10:38 Nic0 | linux /vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-686 root=/dev/mapper/vg0-root ro single rootdelay=10 |
| 10:38 justleen | cool |
| 10:38 justleen | lemme try that.. |
| 10:42 justleen | hm, only difference is that it drops quicker to initram |
| 10:44 justleen | why would it be disk1.2? |
| 10:44 justleen | doest it start from 1 or 0?? |
| 10:45 Nic0 | Second partition of disk1 |
| 10:45 Nic0 | disk number starts from 1, so I guess it's the same for partitions |
| 10:47 Nic0 | What's the device for root in your grub config? |
| 10:47 justleen | 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 justleen | so thats fixed, just need it to get it to boot now ;) |
| 10:53 Ikarus | hrm, let's see if I can use FAI just to partition the HDDs |
| 11:01 justleen | adding bootdelays doesnt help.. |
| 11:02 justleen | are any other packages needed aside from lvm? |
| 11:02 Nic0 | Maybe grub is looking for the wrong device? |
| 11:03 justleen | perhaps.. ill change the disk layout, to have root on a "normal" partion and create a test LVM |
| 11:03 Nic0 | lvm is enough, as long as it's included in initrd |
| 11:04 Nic0 | First you can just look at the device in grub.cfg |

| 11:17 justleen | does storage setup leave existing lvm's untouched? |
| 11:18 justleen | it seems it doesnt repartition by default? |
| 11:46 Nic0 | It does repartition, unless you tell it not to so so with a preserve_* flag |
| 11:55 justleen | weird.. |
| 11:55 justleen | i dont use the preserve flag |
| 11:56 justleen | yet when running fai a second time on a client, with a smaller LV, it tries to resize it |
| 11:56 justleen | which is strange...? |
| 12:05 Nic0 | AFAIK, resizing an existing VG must be explicitely requested by a flag |
| 12:06 Nic0 | You may ask implementation details of setup-storage on the mailing list |
| 12:16 justleen | thats what I would expect indeed. |

| 13:18 Ikarus | hrm, what is the best way to bootstrap squeeze ? |
| 13:19 Ikarus | have a lenny live root and run squeeze or ? |
| 13:22 Mrfai | what do you mean with bootstrap? |
| 13:23 Ikarus | Mrfai: uh, install |
| 13:24 Mrfai | you can run your install server with lenny. Install fai 3.4.3 and create the nfsroot (a squeeze one by default) |
| 13:24 Mrfai | Then install your clients with squeeze |
| 14:12 Ikarus | Mrfai: and what repo do I need to grab 3.4.3 :) |
| 14:12 mikap | Ikarus: see topic |
| 14:13 Mrfai | deb http://fai-project.org/download squeeze koeln |
| 14:14 Ikarus | =/me writes running multi-boot installations using gPXE, gpxelinux, FAI and RIS |

| 19:31 snark | Can anyone discuss ways to use FAI without DHCP? Can't find much info on it, having trouble getting ip= netmask= host= parameters to work with an FAI boot CD, but I'm probably doing something wrong. |
| 19:45 juri_ | what version? |
| 19:46 juri_ | on my CDs, i put ip=::::eth0:dhcp , and it doesn't seem to care. |
| 19:55 snark | 3.4.2 |
| 19:55 snark | ip=::::eth0:dhcp? is that some sort of IPv6? |
| 19:56 snark | perhaps I should specify a device... what parameter do I use for that? |
| 19:56 snark | ip=192.168.0.1:eth0 ? |
| 19:59 snark | oh, I do want to use a server with the CD, if possible... |
| 19:59 snark | I can do a full on CD if I have to though... |
| 19:59 snark | right now I'm doing fai-cd -B |
