Xenial builds from Debian Stretch NFS root
------------------------------------------
We have been building Xenial systems from a Stretch and just noticed that the file system build with Stretch is creating structures that prevent fsck from running. Specifically metadata_csum is preventing fsck from running. How would we specify a setup-storage to create file systems without that option?

Alternately we would install e2fslibs and e2fsprogs packages. My first attempt at that didn't go well. Has anyone done that.

Creating a standalone CD with a fixed address
---------------------------------------------
I am also working on creating an FAI CD that can be used to boot strap a new site, i.e. a site without a DHCP server or access to internal services, i.e. the internal DNS and repos. I would like to assign a static IP address to the clients that are built. Does anyone have an example of doing that? How do I specify the IP address?

Thanks in advance,

Bill
