Bernard,   No I am not using LVM, the source fstab shows:   LABEL=/           /           ext3      default   1 1 LABEL=/boot     /boot     ext3      default   1 2 none                 /devpts  devpts   gid=5,mode=620            0 0 none                 /dev/shm           tmpfs    default   0 0 none                 /dev/proc           proc      default   0 0 /dev/cciss/c0d0p3          swap     swap     default   0 0 dev/cdrom         /mnt/cdrom        udf,iso9660 … de/fd0               /mnt/floppy        auto  …   and sfdisk on the source shows three partitions p1, p2, p3 (/, /boot and swap) for /dev/cciss/c0d0, which size is 142253280.  This corresponds with what SI tries to create as a dev/cciss/c0d0 of the same size on the target, with part1, part2, part3 components.   Thanks, Bela   P.S. My first transmissions don’t seem to post to this list for some reason.  The second time it works, don’t know why.  I apologize if this appears as a duplicate post but after 3 days I have not seen the post on the site.  I do receive each message via email from the list however.   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bernard Li Sent: Saturday, January 21, 2006 7:33 PM To: sisuite-users@lists.sourceforge.net; sisuite-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [Sisuite-users] Problem with mkautoinstallcd tmpfs   Are you using LVM?   Cheers,   Bernard   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of B. Erdelyi Sent: Fri 20/01/2006 11:11 To: sisuite-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Sisuite-users] Problem with mkautoinstallcd tmpfs Hi,   I am attempting an image install with si_mkautoinstallcd using SI 3.6.3.  The tmpfs mounted as / is not large enough to create the entire file structure.  The process ends with tmpfs 99% full.   I have attempted to specify the –append option to si_mkautoinstallcd with various values without success.  The following parameters were specified:   “tmpfs_size=2G tmpfs_nr_inodes=2000” “tmpfs_size=1g tmpfs_nr_inodes=1000” “tmpfs_size=1g”   Regardless, tmpfs is created each time the same size with or without the mount options specified at: 452,788 1-k blocks.  This is weird since the machine has 2G of RAM, I would expect to see a default tmpfs mount of about 1G.   It seems that si_mkautoinstallcd is not passing the arguments to the mount tmpfs command.  Is there a place in the scripts where I could explicitly specify the tmpfs mount options?  I have searched the autoinstall and SystemImager::Server.pm scripts, but I cannot find the logical place to impact a change
