That sounds like a problem we used to have with pfilter. Did you select
pfilter to be installed, it is not selected by default in 5.0.

Hi,
I am installing OSCAR 5.0, with Fedora Core 5 fresh install on a server
node.
Everything goes smooth until I try to push OSCAR image to slave nodes via
network boot (PXE). If I select rsync as a transport, oscar_wizard
proceeds
to network-booting a node just fine, partitions hard drive, creates local
filesystem and initiates rsync image transfer without any errors or
warnings
reported. Then the transfer will abort at about 50% and time out. There is
no
errors whatsoever reported, it just stops abruptly. I can still ping slave
node from the server node and after install script fails on the node upon
rsync timeout and throws a shell prompt I can also ping server node from
the
slave, but alas - no rsync traffic at all. I initially suspected a
hardware
problem and tried replacing network switch, cables, power cycling both
head
node and slave, etc. Nothing helped. I also tried disabling firewall, no
effect. However, now every next attempt after the initial failure the
image
transfer will not even start, just sits at 0% and eventually times out.
Which
looks more like a software problem to me. All other transport options work
fine, e.g. BitTorrent, multicast, but I'd really like to be able to use
rsync
since it is by far the fastest transport supported.
On a related issue: should I try upgrading server node OS (with yume)
before
creating slave images? Will this put updated rsync into the image or is it
a
fixed part of SystemImager network boot image (together with the kernel)?
Cheers,
Ivan Adzhubey
