Package: fai-client
Version: 3.2.4+svn4837-0ubuntu2
Severity: normal
Hi,
We noted a problem when launching faireboot the following way:
ssh installing_host -l root faireboot
Reboot never occurs. The problem seems related to the fact that ssh is
closing the session before the backgrounded init call has finished or
even started. So the init/reboot process is aborted.
The solution we found to solve this problem was to add a sleep time
after the init call in faireboot script
##########################################################
if [ "X" == "X$SSH_CLIENT" -a "$TERM" != "dumb" ]; then
exec reboot -dfi
else
killall -CONT rcS
killall rcS
init 6 &
# addition here
sleep 10
fi
##########################################################
Would it be possible to add a default/configurable sleep time after the
init call in faireboot? It would allow us to keep in sync with fai
without having to "patch" it after each new version is released?
Thank you very much in advance!
Best regards,
Benoit
