Hi, I've used cobbler quite a bit in the past, typically through the Sun HPC distribution. I'm trying to simplify things and decided to use oneSIS without Cobbler, but it is struggling with CentOS 6.2 distributions. The functionality of building a distribution seems to overlap cobbler so I'm exploring whether I can go the other route and leave oneSIS behind and just go with cobbler.
The big thing I'm trying to figure out is how to create a distro from my almost perfectly installed system :-) The oneSIS parallel is "copy-rootfs" followed by the "mk-sysimage". For example, with oneSIS I would do this: copy-rootfs -l /var/lib/oneSIS/image/centos-62e -e /export/software -e /export/shared -e /home -e /var/lib/oneSIS mk-sysimage -c /etc/sysimage.conf -p /usr/share/oneSIS/distro-patches/redhat-el-6.patch /var/lib/oneSIS/image/centos-62e (The -l indicates the local file system is the root fs, the -e lets me exclude various directories, then the mk-sysimage does linking of directories to make /var/log writeable, etc...) Am I thinking of this wrong? Do I have to have a "second" pristine system and then export the root of it's file system and do a cobbler import --path=/mnt/otherroot -name=x Paul Monday Parallel Scientific, LLC. paul.mon...@parsci.com _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list cobbler@lists.fedorahosted.org https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
