I used the deb's from the university's site:
# sources.list
# FAI
deb http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/download etch koeln
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# dpkg -l | grep fai
ii fai-client 3.2.8
Fully Automatic Installation client package
ii fai-doc 3.2.8
Documentation for FAI
ii fai-server 3.2.8
Fully Automatic Installation server package
And, it was mounted rw because I ended up with a stale NFS handle on the
client, and I had to remounted the NFS share on the server rw:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# mount -o remount,rw
/srv/fai/nfsroot/live/filesystem.dir/media/mirror
It didn't even occur to me that FAI might try to rm -rf it, so I wasn't
all that concerned with the fact that the share was being exported rw to
the FAI install clients (I've changed it so that it's only exported rw
to the box running debmirror now), or that I remounted it rw (I didn't
pay close enough attention to realize it was ro prior to the remount).
Regardless, FAI shouldn't be mounting the mirror inside the nfsroot. At
worst, it should umount that before executing an 'rm -rf'. Not using
the '-f' I guess doesn't make it an 'automatic' installation, so
prompting for even a dangerous command like that might not be the right
thing to do. But at least FAI should mount it on a different mount
point on the installation server and export that to the client, and at
best it should only be mounted by the client.
