Hi Darrick, I have been trying to sort a hardware issue and have now managed to try the genunion and export of the keydisk to the CF card. I am using astlinux-0.6.1-via.img.gz from your site on a Wyse Winterm box.
My configuration was a CF card at /dev/hda with the image on and a keydisk at /dev/sda. I fitted a 1GB CF card at /dev/hdc. I ran genunion and it claimed to have worked. I rebooted and could make permanent changes to root password (nice!). However my PBX had not picked up any configuration e.g. there were no phones showing in "sip show peers" and my TDM lights were not on. I ran movekd. Unfortunately this threw errors : /usr/sbin/movekd: line 7: =: command not found /usr/sbin/movekd: line 8: =: command not found /usr/sbin/movekd: line 41: syntax error near unexpected token `fi' /usr/sbin/movekd: line 41: ` fi' Apologies if this is old news, but the first pair were fixed by removing the spaces around the "=" and the $ prefix on the left hand side on the findfs assignments. The second pair was fixed by adding a "then" line to the branch at line 41. I then ran movekd which claimed to work this time, but still my PBX would not pick up any configuration. I rebooted, still without success. I observed the console at boot up and the only thing possibly relevant was the message : "ext2f_check_if_mount(): no such file or directory while determining if /dev/hdc is mounted." A df after startup showed : pbx ~ # df Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hda1 130734 38256 92478 29% /oldroot/cdrom /dev/hdc1 975268 9804 915924 1% /oldroot/mnt/asturw none 92160 79392 12768 86% /oldroot/mnt/asturo none 975268 9804 915924 1% / none 200 28 172 14% /dev none 5000 124 4876 2% /var none 10000 172 9828 2% /tmp /dev/sda1 121999 6433 109267 6% /mnt/kd I rebooted and tried again with the USB stick removed - again without success. As a work around I refitted the USB stick and ran "e2label /dev/sda1 ASTKD" my PBX came alive again after the next reboot. However this is not where I need to be, I now have a three disk system and would like to get rid of the USB stick on read the config from the second CF card. The root password is now changeable and sticky which is good though. Question: How can I get my configuration exported AND picked up from the CF card ?
