Thank you for the info. It seem there is large reliance for storing conf info in a database rather than plain text files.....

Find the ngid corresponding to the nodegroup you want to modify. In the default Kusu master installation you should see this: # mysql kusudb mysql> select ngid,ngname from nodegroups; +------+----------------------------------+ | ngid | ngname | +------+----------------------------------+ | 4 | compute-diskless-fedora-6-x86_64 | | 3 | compute-imaged-fedora-6-x86_64 | | 2 | compute-fedora-6-x86_64 | | 1 | installer-fedora-6-x86_64 | | 5 | unmanaged | +------+----------------------------------+ 2. Substitute 'X' in the following commands with your desired ngid: $ mysql kusudb mysql> DELETE FROM partitions WHERE ngid='X'; mysql> INSERT INTO partitions VALUES(1,X,1,1,'/boot','ext3',100,NULL,0),(2,X,1,2,'/','ext3',1,'fill',0); - At this point, you can reprovision the node, and it should have the partitioning scheme you asked for. However, I typically define a swap partition too, in which case, here's the commands: $ mysql kusudb mysql> DELETE FROM partitions WHERE ngid='X'; mysql> INSERT INTO partitions VALUES(1,X,1,1,'/boot','ext3',100,NULL,0); mysql> INSERT INTO partitions VALUES(2,X,1,2,None,'linux-swap',2000,NULL,0); mysql> INSERT INTO partitions VALUES(3,X,1,3,'/','ext3',1,'fill',0); Hope this helps, George _______________________________________________ Kusu-users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.osgdc.org/mailman/listinfo/kusu-users _______________________________________________ Kusu-users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.osgdc.org/mailman/listinfo/kusu-users
