Title: Re: [Sisuite-users] bittorrent file size limit?
Hi Alex:
 
"real console" = real physical console to your client node.  SystemImager comes with a virtual console (see si_monitortk).
 
Which version of SystemImager are you using?  And did you build from source or are you using RPMs?
 
If you're using the code from trunk, there should be a new package called "systemimager-bittorrent" - it contains things like si_mkbtimage but does not include the bittorrent program.  However, if you build from source, then those programs will be installed on your system.
 
Anyways, I use bittorrent 4.2.2 as well and didn't have any problems (with smaller image).  Do you think you can try installing with a smaller image?
 
BTW, if BITTORRENT_STAGING=/a/tmp it means that it's spooling to your local disk, so as long as you have enough room (which I hope you have), it shouldn't really stop.  Perhaps you can check the filesize of the downloaded tar file in /a/tmp on the console to see if it is exactly 2GB?
 
I can also try to test a larger image and see if I encounter the same issue.
 
Cheers,
 
Bernard

No, I didn't see any error message, it was only printing the download
percentage. Like this:

...
percentage done: 32.4%
percentage done: 32.5%
percentage done: 0%
percentage done: 0%
percentage done: 0%
...

I'm not sure what you mean with real console, I tried switching to another
virtual console (Alt-Fx) but this was only one.

I used the one from Fedora Core 3 (4.2.2), may be this is the problem. If I'm
not wrong, the only SystemImager package that comes with bittorrent is
systemimager-<arch>initrd_template. Anyway I will give a try at the last
version from fedora.

I used the kernel command line option "BITTORRENT_STAGING=/a/tmp" as apear in
the wiki page.

Yes, I already read it.

Thanks,
