I'm sorry if this is the wrong list for a new-be, as I have posted a few unanswered questions. If this is the wrong list, could you please direct me to the proper list?
My question: Why does the master script try to write an entire image (mine is 5.5GB) to memory before writing to disk, when I seems unnecessary, and in my case, illogical, since my system only has 300Mb of RAM, and Systemimager had the opportunity to determine this during the prepareclient, and getimage sessions? Background: The Systemimager installs to a PXE client kept failing, with "Out of memory rsync error" until I hacked the master script: /var/lib/systemimager/scripts/<host>.master by adding this line: export TMPFS_STAGING="no" to the section "Lay the image down on the freshly formatted disk(s)" at line (line 236). Google.com didn't find any advice on the subject, and in all the Systemimager or PXE install documentation I've read, I didn't see a reference to this issue or advice on how to fix the problem. Maybe this would be good to add to the prepare client or getimage scripts. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.
