Thomas,
We just discovered the same thing here. I actually changed the PXE boot
file for the client to use NFSv3 (by adding ':vers=3' to the end of the
'root=' line), but the effect was the same. I think using NFSv3 for the
installs will be an OK workaround for now. Thanks for you help with thi
Thomas,
Thank you for creating the nfsroot tarball. Unfortunately, using this
nfsroot produces the same problem for me (/tmp not writeable). If
this nfsroot works OK for you, then my problem must be somewhere else.
Maybe a boot parameter or NFS export option? I'll keep looking and let
you know

I am just starting to look at Debian stretch and FAI 5.1.2. I have
an FAI server installed with all stock Debian stretch packages and am
trying to use dracut with overlayfs. When I boot a client to install
stretch via FAI, all of the filesystems appear to mount properly,
including the nfsroot. H

I would like to add a line like the following to /etc/network/interfaces
in the FAI NFSROOT:
iface lo inet loopback
post-up /opt/sbin/my_script.sh
I've created an nfsroot-hook to add the line (and the script to
/opt/sbin) and that seems to work fine. However, when the install
client boots, i

I have been trying to use FAI 3.4.0 under 64-bit squeeze and
I keep seeing the following error on the install client:
mount.nfs: mount point /var/lib/fai/config does not exist
Error in task confdir. Traceback: task_error main
The nfsroot mounts fine, but the FAI config space does not.

We have been using FAI for several years, but have just started to try
disk partitioning with setup-storage. Our standard disk configuration
uses 2 primary partitions and 3 logical partitions. We would like
to preserve the *size* of all partitions and preserve the *contents*
of only the last two
