OK, standard questions... ;-) 1) can you post the autoinstallscript.conf?
2) can you post the output of the following commands executed in your golden client: parted -s /dev/sda print parted -s /dev/sdb print parted -s /dev/sdc print parted -s /dev/sdd print cat /proc/mdstat pvdisplay -c vgdisplay -c lvdisplay -c For all the developers... -Andrea PS (for all the developers) maybe we should consider to add a si_getsnaphot (or a similar name) to get a general snapshot of a system that a user is trying to install. This new command will generate a tar.gz containing the stdout/stderr of the above commands (and other interesting details like systemimager version, kernel, distro used, etc), so when someone needs support it can simply post the snapshot and we'll have immediately an overview of the system... I think it can be very helpful for us for the debugging... PPS (for Mark) I dunno how many clients are you using for your tests, but it should be very interesting for us to have a feedback about the bittorrent transport, in particular we'd like to have some numbers.. to see if we can tune some default parameters, and if we can really reduce the installation time with more than "X" clients... if you want to collaborate let me know... you can win all my help :-) and a low-latency reply to your mails... :-) yup!
