You can tunnel NFS over ssh if you want to, but it might be rather
slow, I don't know, I've never tried it.
You'd have to force rpc.mountd on the server

At the website or in the source, or in /usr/share/doc/fai if you've
installed it using apt-get.

Hi all,
This is probably more a question for the dhcp list, but I'm not on
that one :)
I noticed that certain options for FAI get passed in from the dchp
server which are custom "vendor" options. Such as:
option fai-location code 170 = text;
option fai-action code 171 = tex

You could do that to, but you need to somehow get NONIS defined. If
you do this in the dhcpd.conf file by setting 'option nis-domain' to
an empty stri

I'm curious, why would this be bad? If you have YPDOMAIN defined,
then wouldn't you *want* NIS? If you don't want NIS, then don't
define YPDOMAIN. Would

I've got my system installing to the RAID 1 set (4-way mirror). My

Hi all,
Anyone have any ideas how I'd go about getting FAI to create a RAID
set accross 4 disks, then installing to that?
I have systems with 4 IDE drives, and I wanted to create a mirror of
the /, /boot, /usr, and /var partitions across the 4 drives using
RAID 1, and then be able to boot fr

Hi all,
For some reason I can't seem to call /sbin/MAKEDEV from within FAI
scripts, it reports an error about not being able to access /proc/devices:
/dev/MAKEDEV: warning: can't read /proc/devices
I worked around the issue by calling 'mknod' directly with the mode,
type, major/mino

Hi all,
In the /fai/files/etc directory, there are several sub-dirs, one for
each file which belongs in /etc on the install client. Under each of
those directories go the file you want installed for a specific class.
For example, /etc/printcap would be /fai/files/etc/printcap/CLASSNAME.
My
Hi all,
Has anyone had success creating a raid set from an FAI script?
I'm attempting this:
mkraid --configfile /tmp/target/etc/raidtab
mkereiserfs /tmp/target/dev/md0
and have even tried:
$target/sbin/mkraid --really-force --configfile $target/etc/raidtab /dev/md0
Hi all,
I noticed that under scripts directory, that there is a combination
of both executables and directories. Am I correct in my
understadning that FAI is intelligent enough to determine if the
directory entry is a directory and to descend into it only if that
class name is defined?
Also
Hi all,
How does one get the /etc/network/interfaces file to be correctly
generated? It would seem that based on all the information handed
out by the dhcp server that this should be easily done. Would this
be a job for a custom script, or is there some easier, automagic
mechanism already
Hi all,
For some reason my install client is stopping because:
Found multiple /etc/fstab files in : hdc3 hdd3
I've traced this down to the fstab_mount function. What I don't
understand is *why* this is getting called. I have a disk_config
file called '80GB_NODE' (80GB_NODE being t
Hi all,
According to the docs, it appears that a '-' in a disk config script results in
a file system which is not mounted. Does that mean it is also not
added to the /etc/fstab file?
I have a few systems which have 4 drives in them. What I want to do
is build them such that:

Hi,
I'm a little confused. The dhcp server config has the statements:
filename "/boot/fai/pxelinux.0";
next-server nomen;
which I understand to mean that the install client will attempt to
dhcp boot, then be redirected to 'nomen' to tftp the file pxelinux.0
Is this correct?
Hi all,
I'm slowly muddling through here getting my FAI server set up. I'd
like some input as to whether I've done this correctly or not. So
far, I've done the following:
- Set up and installed the OS on the server
- Set up and configured a Debian mirror
- Installed
Hi all,
I'm new to FAI and just trying now to set up my installation server.
I have the Debian mirror up and running, and am able to use it from
my workstation with apt-get. Now I'm trying to configure FAI.
I'm trying to do this with PXE on eepro100s. The docs say that you
