Hello.
I upgraded my S.I. server from 3.4.1 to 3.6.3, and I'm in the
process of upgrading all my clients to 3.6.3. I have many i386
architecture clients that run SuSE9.2 and use the nvidia.ko
driver for graphics.
On these systems, si_prepareclient adds all the modules for the
initrd, as in:
Adding: /lib/modules/2.6.8-24.23-default/kernel/fs/reiserfs/reiserfs.ko
...
Adding: /lib/modules/2.6.8-24.23-default/kernel/drivers/char/nvram.ko
>>> Filesystem for new initrd: ext2
>>> Creating new initrd from: /tmp/.systemimager.0
>>> New initrd mount point: /tmp/.systemimager.1
>>> dd if=/dev/zero of=/etc/systemimager/boot/initrd bs=1024 count=24924
24924+0 records in
24924+0 records out
I see it making an ext2fs filesystem on /etc/systemimager/boot/initrd:
>>> mke2fs -b 1024 -m 0 -N 14659 -F /etc/systemimager/boot/initrd
mke2fs 1.35 (28-Feb-2004)
warning: 347 blocks unused.

This filesystem will be automatically checked every 35 mounts or
180 days, whichever comes first. Use tune2fs -c or -i to override.
>>> tune2fs -i 0 /etc/systemimager/boot/initrd
tune2fs 1.35 (28-Feb-2004)
Setting interval between check 0 seconds
However, it looks like this filesystem is too small:
>>> mount /etc/systemimager/boot/initrd /tmp/.systemimager.1 -o loop -t
ext2
>>> tar -C /tmp/.systemimager.0 -cf - . | tar -C /tmp/.systemimager.1 -xf -
tar: ./dev/log: socket ignored
tar: ./my_modules/nvidia.ko: Wrote only 3072 of 10240 bytes
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
How can I work around this?
Please & thanks.
