Hi,
we try to install a debian system on a bunch of servers with different disk
layouts. Some machines only have one disk, some have additional disks,
which leads to a strange issue.
During install we like fai to ignore all additional disks and lvm's and
whatever is on disks besides sda.
Our
Hello everyone,
I have a FAI usb stick that installs my machines. It installs the
machine, and then copies itself onto a recovery partition. This is used
to re-install the machine in case of errors. This all works fine.
The problem is: sometimes I update my USB stick, and I want to do a
Hi Florian,

Now the problem is, that when users have setup a lvm on disk sdb fai
detects this lvm, at first seems to ignore it, but later tries to create
that exact lvm again on the system, although its not configured anywhere.
A debugging log is attached.
The question is: bug or

Is there a way to say to FAI that it should check for USB sticks
before checking the harddisk partitions?
I'm not sure I understand what sort of detection routine within FAI this could
refer to. Isn't it your BIOS/EFI that chooses the boot media? Wouldn't a change

The machine actually boots from USB the second time. FAI loads from
USB stick (I can tell: the stick is blinking, and booting is slower
than from HD). At first, the Linux kernel is loaded, and then initrd

Then, FAI (or is it the Linux kernel?) needs to find out

Hmm, FAI doesn't try to be smart in any way - it shouldn't find anything, it
will only use whatever was configured.

Thanks a lot for providing such detailed information. This is definitively a
bug; yet I wonder which version of FAI you might be using? Looking at your

Do you think it is possible to only update setup-storage?
Yes, in this particular case it should be safe to take the fai-setup-storage
package from 3.4.8 and install it in the NFSROOT.
Best,

Hi,

This mail is to inform you that a new lens for FAI disk_config files was
added to Augeas. It can currently be found in the git repository of the
Augeas project [1]. This lens will turn disk_config files into a tree that
can be parsed with xpath using Augeas.

Thanks a lot

I have noticed that the schema on the wiki is outdated, and sometimes not
functional even. With the lens in the current state, I've been able to
successfully parse 477 disk_config files we use in production. I'd be happy
to get more tricky cases to test if you wish to send
Hi,
Would you mind taking a look at the logtail patch that's been sitting in
experimental for almost forever already?
I don't see how this can possibly work on something like the kernel message
buffer. Its contents will rotate once it runs full so the offset noted by
logtail will no
