I guess I managed to confuse myself with what's going on but am now
getting a clearer picture so let me back up a couple of steps and ask a
few questions at the same time...
When I try to install an image, it gets to the point where it downloads
the installation script and begins executing it. One of the first
things it does after making sure no filesystems are mounted is
DISKORDER=
[ -z $DISKORDER ] || {
logmsg enumerate_disks
etc...
so if DISKORDER isn't empty, it executes the code. DISKORDER is empty
and so none of this code gets executes and if simply falls through the
block. Is also skips the error message that says no disks were found
because it's part of this block as well! Maybe this is what it's
supposed to do? I have no idea. maybe some extra comments in the code
would help. The output from running the script looks like:
logmsg: No such file or directory
logmsg: No such file or directory
Error: Could not stat device /dev/cciss/disk0/disk
etc...
and I have no idea where any of this comes from. With some additional
debugging code of my own I figured out that $DISK0 has been set to
'/dev/cciss/disc0/disk' - why didn't the "logmsg Partitioning $DISK0"
print anything? I basically did the exact same thing with an 'echo' and
it did work. I then executed the 'parted' command and saw the 'could
not stat device" error so that's obviously the third error line listed
above. So where did the 'logmsg' errors come from? Are there bugs in
the error reporting code?
So back to the question at hand - does anyone have a clue as to what's
going on here? I've been trying to figure out if there as a way to copy
files off the client machine for posting but can't figure out how. I
tried using rsync to copy back the image server but that didn't work.
As I've said before /dev/cciss doesn't exist and feels like it could be
the root of the problem.
