[Server-devel] xs-rsync

2008-08-18 Thread David Van Assche
I've been playing around with this for a while but a couple of
questions have come up which I can't resolve:

1. In the XS-rsync document on the olpc wiki it mentions:

~ With a USB stick, for a headless XO ~

What is a headless XO?

2. Run `xs-refresh-xobuildlist --rebuildconfig` - when I try this
command on my XS, it tells me command not found... am I missing
something I should have installed?

3. Does the latest olpc-update rpm include the patch already or do I
have to manually patch it?

4. You mention: put the name in a file called xyz_jffs2.name, can this
name be called anything like joyride-2013?

ok, think thats it... thanks

Ooops. Headless XS. It doesn't _have_ to be headless, but this model
supports operation without any interaction via a terminal (tty or
graphical)...

 2. Run `xs-refresh-xobuildlist --rebuildconfig` - when I try this
 command on my XS, it tells me command not found... am I missing
 something I should have installed?

Perhaps. What version of the xs-rsync have you got (try `rpm -qi
xs-rsync`) ? Have you performed the recommended

  yum --enablerepo=olpcwhatever install xs-rsync

?

 3. Does the latest olpc-update rpm include the patch already or do I
 have to manually patch it?

You don't mention what rpm version you have, and my crystal ball is at
the repair shop. Whatever olpc-update is in joyride-2301 has it.

 4. You mention: put the name in a file called xyz_jffs2.name, can this
 name be called anything like joyride-2013?

Yes. The xyz part has to match all the other files. Inside the file,
put joyride-2013. So if you are getting
xo-1-olpc-stream-joyride-build-2270-20080807_2118-devel_jffs2.img
and its companion files,

  echo joyride-2270 
xo-1-olpc-stream-joyride-build-2270-20080807_2118-devel_jffs2 .name

Initially I tried to write logic to guess the right name, but there
are several patterns, and I'm not into black magic really. Pick a
name, put it there. I call mine twiggy.

 Excellent. If you have a normal laptop, you'll need the recent 802.11s
 kernel modules.
 
 What does need work is the network_config file, and the idea of running it
 on boot, you need to pass the server_number to the script right?
 Can't do that on boot, and by default on F9 and the livecd there is no
 ifcfg-eth0 file to work with anyway.
 
 Here are the challenges:
 
  - network_config runs on firstboot, and can be re-run later if
 network interfaces are added/removed

Think if the udev rule use different names from the default names, then 
the devices won't flip around. ie msh0=mesh0 eth1=lan using something like:
KERNEL==eth*, ATTR{address}==00:52:8b:d5:04:48, NAME=lan

Then the ifcfg-files could use the new alias names.
Thoughts?


  - network_config sets up
- eth0 for the WAN
- ethN where N0 and the interface is wired as LAN ports
-  the ethX/mshX pairs as LAN+Mesh ports
- and appropriate bridging across the LAN ports, routing/NAT'ting
 between LAN and WAN
 

This there a reason for the multi-bridges? Could you not just add the 
msh devices to a single bridge and adjust the subnetmask to fit?
Just wondering...

On a side note can I get the output of brctl show, ip route, 
iwconfig from a running installation, to compare with please.
The debugging web page is a good start, but lacking the bridging info,
you really need to see both the routing and bridging to get a better 
picture.

  - udev scripts so that once an ethX/mshX is set, things work well
 even if the machine boots w/o the AA, or if the AA is plugged _after_
 we've booted
 
75-persistent-net-generator.rules takes care of the naming, what you 
want is an auto ifup dev with the plugging in of the usb dev?

  - possibly other bits that I'm forgetting :-)


I heard rumbling about xo name resolution, how about dhcpd auto-updating 
named?

 If this xs-conf is meant to be a rpm then would the *_config files not live
 better in /sbin and the ifcfg-* and *.conf file templates in
 /usr/share/xs-config?
 
 Yes. And all that symlink mess get deprecated. I'm working on that too :-)

That will take a bit of time... ;-)

Re: [Server-devel] xs-rsync

2008-08-18 Thread David Van Assche
Well I believe I've followed all the instructions but I'm getting some
weird stuff happening...

first rsync rsync://schoolserver tells me schoolserver doesnt resolve
secondly still cannot get the command xs-refresh-xobuildlist
--rebuildconfig to work without list it works, but not
otherwise... and Ive pasted the version i have below...

any ideas?

devices that are in use, then the config files for the network layout 
could be fixed. The names of the ifcfg files become static,
mesh1 mesh2 mesh3,mshX ethX wless1, wless2, wless3,

On my test box, installing a second wired nic was automatically given

That would mean creating udev rules when network_config is run? That

That's desirable, but I'm not sure how long we'll want to stick to

[Server-devel] How working is the radv setup on XS?

2008-08-18 Thread Martin Langhoff
Wad,

xs-config contains a radvd.conf file, though the service is not
enabled. Is it in a working state, or just trails of someone
experimenting with it? If it's not in a usable state, I'm keen on
killing it until we have an IPv6 scheme that works. Half-baked
configuration files lead to confusion, and to higher likelyhood of
locally modified files that rpm will not overwrite.

Problem is - I know nothing about radvd so cannot easily judge its
state. FWIW, the file says:

interface msh0
{
AdvSendAdvert on;
MinRtrAdvInterval 30;
MaxRtrAdvInterval 100;
prefix 2001:4830:2446:ff10::/64
{
AdvOnLink on;
AdvAutonomous on;
AdvRouterAddr off;
};
RDNSS 2001:4830:2446:ff00::1 {
};
};

cheers,



m

Those are subnets for the OLPC office. So it only is usable for
schoolserver.laptop.org. In fact, besides the subnets specified, there's
nothing special, and it is probably just better to kill the config
before it causes someone trouble.

RIP radvd.conf then. We'll resurrect if/when needed.

thanks!

Yup, that worked.

However, my kickstart modifications were not successful. My hard drive 
got repartitioned. Eventually grub failed to install. I'm not sure why. 
After I installed grub manually then the system refused to up all the 
way up, possibly due to a bad hard drive.

Now that I lost my data anyway, I'll just use a clean XS_165 install to 
a different hard drive and see what happens.
