[SOLVED]Re: fai-cd makes too big iso
rvenne a écrit : Hi list. I've fai-server 3.2.7, and I'm unable to make bootable cd iso image with fai-cd command. in fact, I did it with fai-cd -m /tmp/emptydir myiso.iso until an automtic update gets a new version of fai-server. The NFSROOT structure has been changed, and I was forced to copy stage2_eltorito into the NFSROOT myself here's the command output: fai-cd -m /files/scratch/debmirror -f fai.iso Bind mounting all required parts NFSROOT /srv/fai/nfsroot/live/filesystem.dir mounted Config space /srv/fai/config mounted Mirror /files/scratch/debmirror mounted find: /files/scratch/debmirror/dists//files/scratch/debmirror/debian-security/.temp/dists/etch: Aucun fichier ou répertoire de ce type find: /files/scratch/debmirror/dists//files/scratch/debmirror/.temp/dists: Aucun fichier ou répertoire de ce type Writing FAI CD-ROM image to fai.iso. This may need some time. re-directing all messages to log I've changed the file to see the logs output. they were re-directied to /dev/null by default. and my fai.iso grows up to some Go ! I'm pretty sure that it's making an iso image of the whole system. and fai-cd doesn't accept empty mirror directory any longer. /etc/fai/fai.conf FAI_DEBMIRROR=fai:/files/scratch/debmirror LOGUSER= FAI_LOGPROTO=ssh FAI_CONFIGDIR=/srv/fai/config FAI_CONFIG_SRC=file://$FAI_CONFIGDIR MNTPOINT=/media/mirror FAI=/var/lib/fai/config #(this one is empy) /etc/fai/make-fai-nfsroot.conf: NFSROOT=/srv/fai/nfsroot NFSROOT_ETC_HOSTS="192.168.0.10 fai" TFTPROOT="/files/scratch/debmirror" #I was forced to fixe this one.

I forgot setting kernel package, so that fai is looking for a real mirror to install it. KERNELPAQUAGE is not necessary any more in conf files. a fai kernel deb file should be specified in /etc/fai/NFSROOT

[...] Are you running all this in any kind of chroot (well, make-fai-nfsroot will chroot itself), pbuilder or the like? It seems like there is no /dev and not /sys mounted!?

Apparently there was some change that could cause such breakages. Thomas, could you help out? Best, Michael pgpuBsCzbwRZj.pgp Description: PGP signature

Hi John, from FAI 3.2 we are using a stock Debian kernel with initrd, so I think you are still using an older FAI version. The README in the fai-kernels packages describes which options you have to set to build a kernel for FAI. But with FAI 3.2 and newer you can just use a plain kernel. This needs the unionfs module, which is broken for some kernel versions. But you may want to test aufs (another union file system). Add union=aufs to the kernel command line and check that this module available inside the nfsroot. But I did not test it myself yet. -- regards Thomas
