setup_harddisks_2 bug

2006-12-08 Thread Paul Lussier
Hi, I've been playing around with setting up raid using FAI (v. 2.8.4) with the setup_harddisks 2 script from: http://faiwiki.informatik.uni-koeln.de/index.php/Setup_harddisks_2 in which I think I've found a bug where sfdisk bails out immediately upon not being able to query a non-existant dr

Testing changes in FAI

2006-09-19 Thread Paul Lussier
Hi folks, I've inherited a legacy FAI configuration. Currently it's running FAI 2.8.4. We're thinking of upgrading to 2.10.x at some point, but before that we need to completely understand everything that FAI is currently doing for us. Our entire configuration is currently under revision contr

Upgrading the kernel in nfsroot?

2006-08-16 Thread Paul Lussier
Hi all, I'm sure this is a faq, but I couldn't seem to find the answer on the wiki or the main FAI website. I'm using FAI 2.8.4 and I need to update the kernel which gets booted from within the nfsroot. I have this kernel as a .deb in my mirror, so I thought it would be as simple as just doing

Hi all, I'm currently using FAI 2.8.4 from 25 May 2005 ( I know it's old, but our installtion is too customized to easily upgrade). I'm trying to install to a RAID1 set using FAI. Everything goes extremely well until the reboot, where GRUB seems to not be able to boot the system correctly. Whe

What's the current status of using SW RAID in FAI? Has it been added to FAI proper, or are the directions at: http://faiwiki.informatik.uni-koeln.de/index.php/User:Svamberg/Software_RAID still the way to go? Thanks. -- Seeya, Paul
