Should I make a pull request?  I didn't get a chance to try, but if it works 
for someone else testing I'll make a pull request.

The change looks good. We did see the issue that cpio has problem to handle the 
case that the disk space for /install is running in a nfs server.

Thanks
Best Regards

sparse /var/log/lastlog

Hm, that reminds me … did the CentOS/RH7 squashfs+overlayfs support
that I wrote about on this list end of June last year, in

http://sourceforge.net/p/xcat/mailman/message/34251334/

, find its way into xCAT yet? A trivial little patch and so far I did
not see issues with this on our system.


Alrighty then,

Thomas
