Then I run 'fai-setup -v' the last few lines of the output are:

Actually that was a lie. fai-make-nfsroot fails with the same error. When I look they didn't look like that same file to me, but if I comment out the cp of localtime fai-make-nfsroot completes. Still having issues, but I need to test more before I can ask reasonable questions.

I pulled the debian stretch version of fai-server, 5.3.5, and installed it on the ubuntu system I am trying to get working. fai-make-nfsroot completes without modification. An attempt to build a system resulted in a failure because the process fail to create /tmp/fai. I get dropped to a shell problem a bit after the red FAI message.

Unfortunately this is in a VMware control window so capturing the error is really difficult. The first line I see when everything comes to rest is:

/usr/lib/fai/prcopyleft: line 16: cannot create temp file for here-document: Operation not supported

If I try and create a directory in /tmp I get the following error:

mkdir /tmp/foo
mkdir: cannot create directory '/tmp/foo': Operation not supported

Not sure what to try next.  Suggestions welcomed.
