I am just starting to look at Debian stretch and FAI 5.1.2. I have an FAI server installed with all stock Debian stretch packages and am trying to use dracut with overlayfs. When I boot a client to install stretch via FAI, all of the filesystems appear to mount properly, including the nfsroot. However, /tmp is not writeable. I can write to / though. Has anyone else seen this problem?
Here is more info on my setup: FAI package version: 5.1.2 Dracut package version: 044+105-2 Kernel package version: 4.6.4-1 On the install client: Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=vmlinuz-4.6.0-1-amd64 initrd=initrd.img-4.6.0-1-amd64 rw rootovl ip=eth0:dhcp root=nfs:faiserver:/srv/fai/nfsroot FAI_FLAGS=verbose,sshd,createvt FAI_CONFIG_SRC=nfs://faiserver/srv/fai/config FAI_ACTION=install root@faiclient:~# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on devtmpfs 230M 0 230M 0% /dev tmpfs 247M 280K 247M 1% /run overlay 247M 0 247M 0% / tmpfs 247M 0 247M 0% /live/cow faiserver:/srv/fai/nfsroot 30G 4.1G 24G 15% /live/image faiserver:/srv/fai/config 30G 4.1G 24G 15% /var/lib/fai/config root@faiclient:~# lsmod | grep overlay overlay 45056 1 root@faiclient:~# touch /tmp/test touch: cannot touch '/tmp/test': Operation not supported root@faiclient:~# touch /test root@faiclient:~# Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions for fixing the problem.
