Hello. I have a cluster of Dell 1950 PowerEdge servers. The S.I. server and clients have S.I. version 3.8.2 installed. The OS on server and clients is openSUSE 10.2.
The client PXE boots OK, and the master script for the image starts to execute. All goes surprisingly well until this bit of the master script: # Wipe the MBR (Master Boot Record) clean. logmsg "dd if=/dev/zero of=$DISK0 bs=512 count=1 || shellout" dd if=/dev/zero of=$DISK0 bs=512 count=1 || shellout At which point the script dies because there is no /dev/zero. "ls /dev" shows that there are files in /dev, just no /dev/zero. If I comment out the dd line, the partitioning proceeds, the restore runs great, and the new cluster node boots -- at least on my test node. I haven't tried it on a brand new 1950 just out of the box. I think it might fail if the MBR isn't wiped clean, because Dell systems come with stuff on the disk drive already. Can someone tell me how to get /dev/zero in there? -- Carl Benson | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linux System Administrator | Telephone: (206) 667-4862 Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
