Anyone here on the list having an fedora Server (newer versions) for serving diskless-clients (running fedora)?

ong as I have a writeable nfs-mount. Otherwise the system hangs on booting. Using more than ONE client isn't possible this way. I'll have to separate /etc and /var. something like overlayfs, like fai is using, would be the solution, perhaps. Any other suggestions/hints? Thanks in advance

RAID Detection using intel VROC (VMD)

the installed Linux. But rerunning update-grub doesn’t help, so I tried to re-run grub-install without success. So two problems: - how can I get fai to automatically detect the existing raid? - how can I get grub-efi to find the grub.cfg after running update-grub later Thanks for any hints S

Re: VMs end up without grub installed

Hello Bill, Is your system to be installed EFI or BIOS boot? Grub-pc is normally bios boot oriented. I added a switch myself by checking if a call to „efibootmgr“ (has to be installed beforehand) is successful or not to decide if grub-pc or grub-efi will be installed Have fun Sven > Am 21.04

Hi Ulli, Diverse deutsche Unis haben IPv6 Adressräume, aber häufig keine IPv6 fähigen Firewalls, weshalb der IPv6 Traffic häufig direkt am X-Win-Gate geblockt wird, da sonst dahinterstehende einzelne PCs/Server angreifbar wären, wenn die Admins das nicht richtig konfigurieren und selbst eine Fi

Re: stretch and grub on LVM

Hi Thomas, shouldn't grub be installed in the mbr of the used harddrives (e.g. /dev/sda and /dev/sdb) of the lvm, if / is on lvm-volumes? IMHO the grub.cfg etc should be in /boot/grub (so no problem while /boot has its own partition - /boot inside the lvm-Volume might be inaccessable for grub)
