RE: [Sisuite-users] Problem with mkautoinstallcd tmpfs

[Bernard Li]

Hi Bela:   Can you check the resulting CD's isolinux/syslinux.cfg to make sure that the append statements are actually there?  It should look something like: LABEL systemimager KERNEL kernel APPEND vga=extended initrd=initrd.img root=/dev/ram tmpfs_size=2G tmpfs_nr_inodes=2000   I just tested my 3.6.3 RPMs and I can specify the tmpfs size without any problems, the command I used was:   si_mkautoinstallcd --append "tmpfs_size=2G tmpfs_nr_inodes=2000" --out-file /tmp/test.iso   What's the build date of your 3.6.3 RPMs, mine are: Mon 09 Jan 2006 09:31:01 PM PST   Cheers,   Bernard From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of B.

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
