Hi all,

I think that we should add some common unwanted patters to the
exclusions automatically made by systemimager during image retrieval by
si_getimage.

In some recent distributions some pseudo-filesystem are not reported
with mount. On the other looking in /proc/mounts doesn't resolve,
because there are also the filesystems mounted *under* others (usually
rootfs, initramfs, etc).

Here is a list of patterns that we could always exclude:

# selinux stuff
/selinux/*
# eventfs in SuSE
/lib/klibc/events/*
# mounted media devices not reported by mount
/media/*
# NFS stuff
/var/lib/nfs/*
# LVM caches and backups (automatically re-created at the first boot)
/etc/lvm/.cache
/etc/lvm/backup/*
/etc/lvm/archive/*

What do you think? Do you know other patterns that should be
automatically excluded?

Regards,
-Andrea

PS for David: have you tried to remove /selinux/* from your image and
try to repeat the installation? this is equivalent to run si_getimage
with --exclude '/selinux/*'.

Re: [sisuite-users] Cannot Open libc.so.6

   ar But... why do you have /lib64 if your machine is a i686???

 That I never found out ... :-(

 After removing the the /lib64 files, I rebuilt SI and it worked!
 The last problem was finally solved.
   -Kenneth


Looks like I got bitten by this as well... the package libc6-amd64 in
Debian appears to be a default package in the upcoming Etch release. My
image server is Intel hardware, and I know I didn't add this package
myself. (It may have been a dependency of some other package, but I
don't know for sure.)

I removed it, rebuilt, and now things exist in /lib rather than /lib64.

With Etch moving closer to release, maybe a note in the Debian install
section about this package causing issues for 32-bit systems is
warranted?  (perhaps under the list of dependencies?)

On a related note, do average folk have edit rights to the wiki, if an
account is created? I hate to sound lazy by suggesting changes if it was
something that you would prefer we do. But then, I know for certain
projects, you don't want the general public editing things all
willy-nilly, either.

Re: [sisuite-users] building debian packages

 The debian packages are available at:

 I have only tested the release with rsync and i could reinstall a

 In the systemimager-server package are also the monitord and the
 bittorent init.d scripts. They belong in a separate package but for  
 the
 moment it is oke. The main goal for us is to test the bittorent setup

I just want to thanks the developers for version 3.7.6. We are  
upgrading from 3.2 and with the new version it is more configurable  
and easier to setup.  The monitor software works as a charm and we  
are pleased with the bittorent functionality.

Thanks

Re: [sisuite-users] Imaging issues with RH ES 4

2007-02-22 Thread David . Livingstone
Yes I have removed the /selinux/* from the image however I'm waiting for 
some new
machines to try again. 

 I agree that adding the patterns would be the fast solution.Of course the 
best solution
 would be to have mount/mtab show all mounts ... I could open a ticket 
with RH however
 I'm not sure I would get too far.

Re: [sisuite-users] Booting From Local Hard drive

2007-02-22 Thread hiba salma

Hi...
My problem got solved, here is the solution.
Solution:
While I was searching for the solution of this problem, I saw almost same problem posted on syslinux user’s mailing lists. Here is the link (http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2007-February/008075.html ) and this problem got solved by installing new version of Pxelinux bootloader.

Since I was using version 2.00 of pxelinux, so I thought to upgrade it to syslinux-3.36
I downloaded syslinux version 3.36 from this link (http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/) 
This was syslinux-3.36.tar.gz , so I untared it using the command (tar –xvzf )

Then I copied pxelinux.0 ( from syslinux-3.36) to /tftpboot , but before copying the new file, I made a backup of the old pxelinux.0 of pxelinux version 2.00 ( b/e I wanted to check if there was some problem in the old version or not)

After pxelinux bootloader got upgraded to new version, I rebooted the client.
The client tried to boot from the local hard drive after configuring itself from the network, it waited a couple of sec’s and LILO came up! And all was good.

For checking if there was really some problem with the old version, I again replaced the backup file of pxelinux.0 from the new pxelinux.0 file.
Rebooted the client, it tried to boot from the local hard drive after configuring itself from the network, but it again got stuck there!

So there was problem with the pxelinux old version bootloader (version 2.00) as it never allows the client to boot from the local hard drive after it configures itself from the network.

I’m Thankful to all of those who suggested me solutions to this problem.


Best Regards,
Hiba
