I can confirm that it
works with /dev/hda2, dev/hdc2 and /dev/hdc3. I tried all of these combinations
on numerous occasions. But I always created a partition with fdisk first and
then mkfs’ed it. I have never tried a USB stick thought… Dmitry Lebedev From:

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Arne Gylseth Yes, this was one of the first things I tried. It did not work here. (But possible it should have worked and that it
were just something with my USB stick ..) Thanks. Intersting to know it can/should work, this way as well ..

[mailto:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On
Behalf Of Arne Gylseth About
using one USB stick as system disk and keydisk (sda1 and sda2) .. The genkd
apeared to be a script /usr/sbin/genkd It looks like
it does not handle the situation that one keydisk with 2 partisions is both
systemdisk and keydisk. So what I
did was that I just used a 64 MB USB stick. 48 MB were used as sda1 systemdisk. Then I
made one more 12 MB sda2 partision using fdisk. Then also
extracted a part of the genkd script:
echo
"Done. I STRONGLY URGE YOU TO REBOOT NOW." ****STOP Runned
this on the USB stick based server. Havent
been testing to much, but it looks like it works OK with one USB stick as
system disk (sda1) and keydisk (sda2). By the
way it works slightly different from my ide flash based installation. To
be able to store any datas at the keydisk with the "double USB stick
installation", the filesystem mounting has to be selected to
"read/write". I think
it looks like this workes quite wellas an aditional Astlinux installation for
testing etc based on a allmost free memory. I anybody
have some more information or ideas, please leave a few words :-) Best reg

trying to test out a Astlinux 0.4.0 USB stick boot installation. I just
followed instructions in the guide how to write over the image to a USB stick,
and this worked ok. It's
booting and running from the USB stick quite well. But then
the problem: How to
use the remaining free part of the usb stick as key disk ? I hva
tried with different variants of running "genkd" and
"fdisk". The best
way I have made it was making some manual copying of the asterisk konfiguration
files into the /mnt/kd directory. This worked. When I tried with the rc.conf
file it crashed completely. How is
this "use usb partision 3 alternative" suposed to be working ? Should
it be an automatic function (genkd ?) to fill upp the /mnt/kd directory with
datas or should this be done manually ? By the
way, I can use it as is (with manually copying of configurarion files, minus
the rc.conf file), but I'm just courious if I understand things the right
way. I am
using one 0.3.0 installation with hda flash memory plus usb key disk and this
runs very nice. Installation of keyisk were automatic with "genkd". Should it
work the same way with everything on the USB disk, or will it be required with
some more "manual configuration" ? Is the
"genkd" cammand actually a script ? Hvere can this be found ? Should it
eventually be runned with a parameter when everything is on the usb pin ? I
tried with "genkd /dev/sda2" but it did not work. I think
it will be a good thing to be able to run it from an usb stick as an
alternative, because this makes it some times very easy to find hardware. Best reg
Arne.
