Category: systemimager-server Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Mark Seger (markjseger) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Problems with 'getimage' and rhel4 Initial Comment: While not a SystemImager problem per se, this is a problem that effects SI. When installing RHEL4 on an Operton, I found an entry in /etc/passwd for nfsnobody with a UID of 2**32-2. I'm thinking this may be because it's a 64 bit system because on a 32 bit system nfsnobody is set to 2**16-2. It turns out that this causes the file /var/log/lastlog to be created as a sparse file with a length of 1.2T. When you then try to upload the image with getimage, rsync hangs on that file even though the sparse switch is set. I suspect if I waited long enough it might continue on, but I fear the sparse switch only effects the writing of the file and not necessarily the reading. In any event, the fix it to append -exclude /var/log/lastlog. I'm not sure you'd want to do this all the time or ever, but at least let people know what's happening... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Bernard Li (bernardli) Date: 2005-02-26 12:03 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=879102 Are you using SystemImager 3.5.x (which supports x86_64)? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100259&aid=1152342&group_id=259 ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
