Hi,

 

We are marching ahead with our experience with SI.  A previous issue with device creation was fixed following Bernard Li’s direction to use mknod.  Here are the commands inserted in the master script after the disk enumeration process in case someone else needs to do the same thing:

 

mknod  /dev/cciss/c0d0  b  104  0

chmod  660  /dev/cciss/c0d0

 

This creates a device exactly as on our golden client, consult the devices.txt file for any other configuration or device.  As per Bernard a MAKEDEV is in the works, such would be greatly appreciated and will make things easier in the future.

 

We also found problems with the logmsg  Creating partition  ${}n.”  statements.  It has a problem substituting correctly.  Rather than troubleshooting this we just commented out each of these lines where n=1, 2 and 3 in our master script.

 

Now, new problem:

 

The tmpfs file runs out of capacity before the file system creation completes with a size of 452788 and 99-100% use.  Tried the si_mkautoinstallcd command with the –append “tmpfs_size=2G tmpfs_nr_inodes=2000” option.  However, this did not help; it generated a tmpfs of the same size as without the option.

 

The sfdisk command indicates that we do have a device c0d0 of the correct size of 142GB as expected.  So now we just need to make tmpsf big enough for the file structure creation.  Any suggestions on how to do this besides the options to si_mkautoinstallcd, or is it some other problem that we are having with the master script?

 

Thanks,

Bela
