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 |
