Am I correct in thinking that when getimage takes an image of the golden client, it will generate parted commands for non-mounted filesystems, but not generate an mke2fs command for that filesystem?
I just ask because our golden client has /dev/hdb1 which is unmounted most of
the time, and remounted at midnight to accept dumps of /dev/hda* partitions.
We've started to experience installations which fail on reboot post installation, complaining about "bad magic number block on /dev/hdb1".
We have been fixing this by having users enter the root password and
fdisk/mke2fs /dev/hdb1 (over the phone, with non-Linux savvy users this has
been fun) whilst we've tried to figure out what was wrong.
Today we were poring over things trying to figure it out once and for all and closer examination shows us that the .master file has parted entries for /dev/hda* and /dev/hdb1, but only has mke2fs/mount commands for /dev/hda*.
Is this a feature?
I think this is because we only create filesystems on devices listed in /etc/fstab.
Is this filesystem not listed in /etc/fstab?
If it's not, and you want it to be formatted, but you don't want it auto-mounted, you can add an entry for this filesystem into /etc/fstab with the 'noauto' option in the 4th field.
If you try that, and it doesn't do what you want, or if you think that the behavior of SystemImager should be different, let us (sisuite-devel) know.
Cheers!
