I don't expect the above to work, nor will the new replicate code work with this. Basically what is happening is that you are putting files in places that cobbler doesn't expect them to be. The replicate feature only really works if you used import to add the distro. Even in 2.0, this would fail because we don't go out of band (rsync is used for full data sync) to get the kernel and initrd. So basically when the replicate code goes looking for them (really it only looks for the kernel), it doesn't find it since it wasn't brought over with the data sync. I think we can get replicate to bring things over like you want, but I don't think it will be accepted for 2.0. I can see a relatively simple patch to fix this and get it in 2.2. But I would have to actually look at the code to be sure. Basically if we don't find the kernel and we are in full data sync mode, go out of band (http) to get them from the remote system. That should generally be good enough in most cases. Though I have a strange feeling this could get us in trouble in other places. I'll have to play with it (unless you beat me to it... :-D) - -- Scott Henson Red Hat CIS Operator WVU Alum BSAE/BSME -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJKrnjYAAoJEN/U2xG4t+kAIAYP/1xbJxPCJQXsX4H198qA+fJq NcCZOVjCIKmlz1T4UYNjVPvvhYjW7IT0slLeYH9hwHPNzaqv6sITKarZ0MbRheNs vBiO5RzK1xc0z9ocfhPhTqaL+VeYV/VfnbPDq3g9e804RPjF6+al991iE7/KRyRO /TA0hwpE/ZB0qSSdajbN5ed1T8YS1V3CjQc9Gb2mcml5+dIoVrpCVCsdzKRN+sTG aXXVow88mWJCoP6qLSv7WD/Jy8aD95Ex+ASk15n2PeG/q7/PyQxT3Pr3dfKRcciV 6HPvrZXfVBbjEyJ6xxcCanMhVzhwyfhnNNEpWHa45irHI6R5cBgLrmSUIrDhjJgG 3ZUJc3rSYC83mLfbacbtbVhjn6/D9tAUOB9+Ng4iURHAnyord+hqGiTvU1eTGB6J mR7vdsvBmh7Xi7QPkkvPWiYUpQgabmBwwGMFepIL1FzqBAoFesEU2gPmX72wx/bY GBpneWaLjlrDihbjz/zLMZKLThGqkz/+AVskfoAEG5XUu4JcWl2w7fKDN2Zb0bJz CcA2uO1dMaZHW5CaeTcHxz4lPzgfu2G7Ot28Z8KY0CbqyZEdnlVX50eCkv5cl1Ev LiCkJB/4RXgTbh89XAdpNuGdm1v0KWChBGYWLEs3yhFk4DFTrICISsVl3CI7wtRQ myFOVQFPDHOZHazOnfOt =g+Q5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
