This is for remote syslog and is not supported on EL4, though you didn't specify which you were using, Cobbler adds this automatically to Anaconda kernel arguments so it does not require manual setup or use of the logging directive. I imagine the logging directive does the same as syslog=host:port, in either case this is better asked to kickstart-list, which is the list for all Anaconda related details (http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list) > > in /var/log/cobbler on the cobbler server > I have cobbler.log and install.log and empty directories for kicklog > and syslog > how do I get logfiles recorded in kicklog and syslog > > Think what I'm really looking for is how to capture the messages that ran > off the top of the screen on the Ctrl-Alt-F4 console > > It is reporting lots of ioerrors on xvda > > Here are the relevant parts of the kickstart: > > bootloader --location=mbr --driveorder=xvda > clearpart --all --initlabel --drives=xvda > part /boot --bytes-per-inode=4096 --fstype="ext2" --ondisk=xvda > --size=100 > part swap --bytes-per-inode=4096 --fstype="swap" --ondisk=xvda > --recommended > part / --bytes-per-inode=4096 --fstype="ext3" --ondisk=xvda > --size=1 --grow ... snip ... > We seem to have created the correct logical volume: > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] kickstarts]# lvdisplay dat-vg/gtm-00-disk0 > --- Logical volume --- > LV Name /dev/dat-vg/gtm-00-disk0 > VG Name dat-vg > LV UUID gUDfR8-6BkI-eemF-d5f5-ds0e-8cm5-WegeYq > LV Write Access read/write > LV Status available > # open 0 > LV Size 10.00 GB > Current LE 2560 > Segments 1 > Allocation inherit > Read ahead sectors auto > - currently set to 256 > Block device 253:0 > > Doing a fdisk -l on the Ctrl-Alt-F2 console > > it appears to have been partitioned correctly > > But it's mounted read-only > > Can't cut an paste from the Ctrl-Alt-F2 console window. > > Should I be using the anaconda command > logvol instead of part > Definitely ask [EMAIL PROTECTED] for that. This is what it's there for and storage related questions come up frequently. -- Michael _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
