[09:30] <\sh> doesn't help [09:30] grep /boot /etc/fstab ?

[10:42] anyone actually set up dual-boot systems with FAI and Windows RIS ? [10:42] been tinkering with it for some time now [10:42] but haven't found the "right" way [10:45] <\sh> windows RIS? [10:45] <\sh> something like altiris I guess [10:46] \sh: Windows RIS is Remote Installation Services (the pre-Vista way of installing Windows over the network) [10:47] <\sh> Ikarus: ok...and why do you want to have a dual-boot system? why don't you split up FAI on one server and the Windows stuff on the other? [10:47] <\sh> We are running FAI and Altiris in parallel on two machines, but sharing the same network [10:48] \sh: uh, the server side is not the issue [10:48] the problem is getting FAI and RIS to play nice next to eachother when installing a new desktop [10:49] <\sh> Ikarus: ah you want to have a "dual-boot" workstation after deploying it first with windows RIS and then running FAI [10:49] yup [10:51] <\sh> what's the problem...install first the windows part, and adjust your FAI disk-layout to preserve the windows partition and just install the linux part with FAI [10:52] <\sh> eventually tweak your grub config (on ubuntu lucid it should detect your windows partition automagically when generating the grub.cfg) [10:52] \sh: it gets worse, Windows RIS installs it to the whole disc [10:53] <\sh> Ikarus: then it's not the right tool...altiris is much better...but it costs money [10:54] \sh: WDS can also do it, but no money nor time to switch that setup [10:55] <\sh> Ikarus: eventually having a hook for disksetup which resizes the windows partition? [10:55] yeah, considering just hacking around it by running ntfsresize prior to disksetup [10:56] other option is to boot a Linux thingy first, lay down a disc layout and force Windows to use that [10:56] but that is far more work in terms of getting it to work [10:58] <\sh> Ikarus: the other way around is more the "normal" way of doing it...think about windows and it's bootloader...normally I don't have a grub anymore after installing linux first, and windows last [10:59] \sh: this would be boot Linux and layout disc, boot Windows and install, boot Linux and install [11:00] will have to do something with Windows nasty habit to reboot in the middle of the installation though I guess [11:00] some gpxe scripting or the like [11:08] now if only there was a safe way to do this, but I guess I'll need TCPA for that.... [11:08] PXE is inherintly unsafe, passing initial credentials around more so [11:13] fimblo (~fimblo@kaki.spotify.net) left irc: Quit: leaving [11:18] fimblo (~fimblo@kaki.spotify.net) joined #fai.

[11:58] hey guys, using fai 3.4.7 and when the system gets partitioned I get the following error: [11:58] /dev/sda1 is apparently in use by the system; will not make a filesystem here! [11:59] it makes no sense, since mount show no entries of /dev/sda [11:59] http://pastebin.com/7HtgZJ0W [11:59] Is this a bug? [12:00] or something to do with automount? [12:01] Robbie: what does /proc/mounts say? [12:02] msantana (msantana@SDF.ORG) joined #fai. [12:02] mgoetze, [12:02] http://pastebin.com/BiVsawea [12:03] no idea then... i would just try zeroing the first mb or so with dd and installing again [12:05] i'll give it a try [12:11] sucks [12:12] now it does sda1 and sda2 but fails with the same error on sda3 [12:12] well seems to help... so uh, zero the whole disk? :) [12:13] or you could try mkfs with -v to see whether it says anything more [12:17] doing that ;) probably a disk corruption [12:44] ok mgoetze, that did the trick [14:15] Robbie: what was the problem in the end? [14:16] the disk /dev/sda/ and /dev/sdb where not clean [14:16] i had to dd the whole disk [14:17] instead of just the mbr [14:17] but software raid fai [14:17] no go [14:17] keeps on failing with mdadm [14:17] we have the latest version, mdadm is even from natty repo [14:17] pretty simple config [14:17] 2 disks [14:17] raid 1 [14:18] with 3 partitions [14:18] even after full wipe of both disks [14:20] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/565383/ [14:20] @ Mrfai [14:31] Mmm. mt is the setup-storage guru. But I'm wondering why the OS thinks those disks are mounted. Never saw this before. [14:34] maybe leftovers on the disk? [14:36] maybe. But there must be some bits at a certain position of the disk, that are left over. MAybe a former partition at the same position that was not cleanly umounted. [14:42] Mrfai, does mt also do soft raid configs? :) [14:44] he's the setup-storage developer [14:44] great [14:56] fai: 3 lange committed revision 6282 to 7 fai: diverting nis not needed any more, tested with lenny and squeeze (closes: #612481) [15:53] justL1 (~leen@rev-131-102.virtu.nl) left irc: Quit: Leaving.
