Hi all, I am setting up my first FAI server (debian) for a beowulf cluster (also debian), and i am experiencing the following issue:
The fai client fails to mount the debian mirror from the FAI server. The installation fails trying to apt-update, then i ssh into the client. Config space and nfs are correctly mounted, but the mirror isnt. Trying to manually mount the mirror shows: # mount 192.168.0.1:/srv/debmirror /media/mirror mount.nfs: rpc.statd is not running but is required for remote locking. Either use '-o nolock' to keep locks local, or start statd. If i start rpc.statd or append the option '-o nolock', the mirror mounts fine. I find it strange given that the mirror already correctly mounted the config space and the nfs. The client tried because daemon.log on server shows: ... authenticated mount request from 192.168.0.95:641 for /srv/debmirror (/srv/debmirror) my fai.conf: ---------- LOGUSER=fai LOGSERVER=192.168.0.1 FAI_LOGPROTO=ssh FAI_DEBMIRROR=192.168.0.1:/srv/debmirror MNTPOINT=/media/mirror FAI=/var/lib/fai/config ---------- and my default PXE config ---------- # generated by fai-chboot for host default with IP no IP default fai-generated label fai-generated kernel vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-amd64 append initrd=initrd.img-2.6.26-2-amd64 ip=dhcp root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=/srv/fai/nfsroot boot=live FAI_FLAGS=verbose,sshd,reboot FAI_ACTION=install SERVER=192.168.0.1 ---------- I am running out of ideas, has anyone experienced something similar? I found the following thread http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.fai/7366/focus=7370 but it didnt helped me out. Best regards, Thomas -- restate my assumptions: 1.
