Re: fai-cd: Is there a cache ?
I have rebuild the CD and there was a mistake...
I had 2 tarball and the second erase the first that is the reason...
So many thanks for you files are updated and it's working now.

Good. Did you copy your new files into this location?
yes new files are copied here :
/srv/fai/config/files/home/artica/artica-1.1.050713.tgz/DEFAULT
for example, after installing with new CD, the file installed is
artica-1.1.050713.tgz but inside the tgz the file version is
artica-1.1.050609 from first compilation cd that i had build this morning.
i have mounted the iso
mount -o loop -t iso9660 /home/artica-1.1.050713.iso /mnt/iso
there is a
/mnt/iso/live/filesystem.dir/var/lib/fai/config/files/home/artica/artica-1.1.050713.tgz/DEFAULT
cp
/mnt/iso/live/filesystem.dir/var/lib/fai/config/files/home/artica/artica-1.1.050713.tgz/DEFAULT
Are you damn sure that this tgz file is the only source of your
/usr/share/artica-postfix/VERSION file? You don't install any deb, use ftar,
copy some files explicitly, etc?
If you turn on verbose, you should find quite a bit of output in
/tmp/fai/{fai,shell}.log or /var/log/fai/localhost/last-install/{fai.shell}.log.
Best,
Michael

"--force" didn't change anything for our problem. Thank you for your remarks and proposals - we decided to take the "safest" way: creating a hook to switch of the partitioning completely. Like that, everything is working fine. Axel

The fai-cd version is fai-cd 3.3 FAI_CONFIGDIR=/srv/fai/config here it is the ouptout: debian4r1:~# fai-cd -m /home/mirror -f /home/artica-1.1.050713.iso Bind mounting all required parts NFSROOT /srv/fai/nfsroot/live/filesystem.dir mounted Config space /srv/fai/config mounted Mirror /home/mirror mounted Writing FAI CD-ROM image to /home/artica-1.1.050713.iso.

No, there's no cache. The config space which will be put on the CD it taken from FAI_CONFIGDIR. Which version of fai-cd re you using? Did you specify -C?

fai-cd: Is there a cache ?
Dear I have put some files in config/files/ directory in order to install them during CD installation. ex: /config/files/home/mydir/file.tar.gz/DEFAULT /config/files/home/mydir/file2.tar.gz/DEFAULT sometimes i need to make updates of this files i replace them in the same folder /config/files/home/mydir/file2.tar.gz in each time i update files, i launch fai-cd -m /home/mirror -f -v /home/myiso.iso but i don't understand why after installing the system, files updates inside config/files directories are not updated. Is there a cache created ? If yes, Is there a way to delete cache before make the iso file ?
