Re: [sisuite-users] how to disable tmpfs staging?
Tristam, Are you using ext4? If so, I bet that's why. I'm in the process of adding support for ext4 and grub2, but its not there yet. Your partition layout should be fine. Try using ext3. You can even take an image from a machine installed with ext4 and have SI autoinstall it as ext3. Just change all instances of ext4 to ext3 in /etc/systemimager/autoinstallscript.conf on your golden client before running si_getimage. Finally, for now, try using Grub v1. Here's a HOWTO for converting from Grub2 to Grub1 (haven't tried it myself yet): https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Uninstalling%20GRUB%202 Hope that helps, -Brian On Tue, Jul 20, 2010 at 8:45 AM, Tristam MacDonald swiftco...@gmail.com wrote: On Tue, Jul 20, 2010 at 12:53 AM, Brian Elliott Finley br...@thefinleys.com wrote: What you're doing should prevent tmpfs staging.

I'm in the process of adding support for ext4 and grub2, but its not there yet. Right you are - I am imaging an ubuntu 10.04 box, so ext4 and grub2 by default. I just tested switching to ext3, and the imaging appears to be proceeding perfectly, so I will mess with downgrading grub in the morning.
