Hi,
This is just me putting lots of little issues into a bugreport.
1. I couldn't work out what the original error was on about; this is
clearer:
--- subroutines-linux.orig 2006-01-06 12:29:32.000000000 +1100
+++ subroutines-linux 2006-01-09 13:47:24.000000000 +1100

else
faimond=0
- echo "Can't connect daemon on $monserver. Monitoring disabled."
+ echo "Can't connect to monserver on $monserver port 4711.
Monitoring disabled."
fi
}
2. Document (somewhere) how to turn off colour
touch $FAINFSROOT/.nocolorlogo (also document it is American and not
English)
3. please use consistent variable in various programs
/usr/sbin/fai refers to $diskvar ($LOGDIR/disk_var.sh)
/usr/sbin/fai then calls 'set_disk_info'
/usr/lib/fai/subroutines-linux calls 'set_disk_info' but internally
refers to $(disk-info) and $diskvar
/usr/sbin/setup_harddisk call it '$FAIOutputFile' which made tracking it
down substanially more difficult
4. It'd be nice if you could include a 'be nice to Xen' option
this would:
- mv /lib/tls /lib/tls.disabled after construction of the NFS
root (and/or after upgrades)
- perhaps generate the /etc/fstab and $LOGDIR/disk_var.sh files
from the passed in command line; for the moment I do:
echo "Partitioning local harddisks"
- [ ! -s $diskvar ] && setup_harddisks -d -X | tee $LOGDIR/format.log
2>&1
+ #[ ! -s $diskvar ] && setup_harddisks -d -X | tee
$LOGDIR/format.log 2>&1
# setup_harddisks must create $diskvar file
- if [ ! -s $diskvar ]; then
- cat $LOGDIR/format.log
- sndmon "TASKERROR partition 21"
- die "setup_harddisks did not create $diskvar file."
- fi
+ #if [ ! -s $diskvar ]; then
+# cat $LOGDIR/format.log
+# sndmon "TASKERROR partition 21"
+# die "setup_harddisks did not create $diskvar file."
+# fi
+# For Xen, define things ourselves
+echo "BOOT_DEVICE=/dev/hda" >> $diskvar
+echo "ROOT_PARTITION=/dev/hda1" >> $diskvar
+echo "BOOT_PARTITION=/dev/hda1" >> $diskvar
+echo "SWAPLIST=/dev/hda2" >> $diskvar
+# For Xen, we also need to write out the fstab
+
+echo "# /etc/fstab: static file system information." >> $LOGDIR/fstab
+echo "#" >> $LOGDIR/fstab
+echo "#<file sys> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump>
<pass>" >> $LOGDIR/fstab
+echo "/dev/hda1 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1" >>
$LOGDIR/fstab
+echo "/dev/hda2 none swap sw 0 0" >>
$LOGDIR/fstab
+echo "proc /proc proc defaults 0 0" >>
$LOGDIR/fstab
5. note that scripts have to be executable
6. note that scripts are actually pulled into 'fai-do-script' via a
source
7. note that if they want to use 'ifclass' they should also:
'. /usr/lib/fai/subroutines'
perhaps 'ifclass' should be a seperate binary?
Thats all for now -- while it may sound like I'm being overly harsh on
you -- I've only just started using FAI.
Cheers,
Anand

*shrug*
I was told, on irc, to report my issues via a bug report.
probably it should have gone to the mailing list instead.

I'll send email instead to the mailing list.
Thanks,
