Hi guys,
I don't know if this is off the mark or not, but I wanted to make you
aware of something we discovered when we started using FAI with Debian
Squeeze and Ubuntu Precise. It seems that at some point, Debian started
hard-coding --no-nfs-version 3 into /etc/init.d/nfs.
I.e. as in like this:
$ grep version /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server
RPCMOUNTDOPTS="$RPCMOUNTDOPTS --no-nfs-version 3"
This option should be in /etc/default/nfs-kernel-server if it should be
anywhere... This broke FAI completely until after a painstaking search
we came across this. Perhaps some of you are also struggling with this,
perhaps not at all.
Cheers,
Iordanm

I haven't posted in a couple days, but the problems all still exist.
Friday I created a new Debian Wheezy FAI server and install FAI, but
never got to work at all. All sorts of what appears to be NFS issues.
I was using the -l -v -f for the setup and make nfs. Today I switched
by to my Squeeze FAI server trying to push out wheezy and similar issue
target starts going bad with Begin: Tring netboot from :srv/fai/nfsroot
... Begin: Trying nfsmount -o nlock -o ro :/srv/fai/nfsroot /liv e/image
.. nffmount: can't parse IP address '' and continues that last line till
I power off the target.
Also on the FAI Wheezy server still have ti issue running fai-setup:
Using configuration files from /etc/fai
Creating FAI nfsroot in /srv/fai/nfsroot/live/filesystem.dir
mv: cannot move `/srv/fai/nfsroot' to
`/srv/fai/nfsroot/../.will-now-be-deleted/nfsroot': Directory not empty
So to get fai-setup to work I have to delete the nftroot.
Sounds like fai-setup isn't configuring nfs. I wish the FAI doc's had
info on troubleshooting nfs since it is so dependent on it.
Can someone give me some pointers to troubleshooting this.
Steve B.
