I'm not even sure what I'm trying to do is 'legal', but maybe with a
little bit of documentation it might be? I should also point out the
version I'm running is: v3.7.4r3725_arighi
I have 3 different types of systems, all opterons. Each has different
size scsi disks, memory configurations, etc. In the past with SI, I'd
just do 3 installations from iso images and save 3 SI images. This time
I decided to try something different. I took the image of one machine
and using autoinstallscript.conf files from different installations on
the other systems, generated separate install script, but all pointing
at the same image.
When I installed on the other 2 systems using the new scripts the system
did indeed boot and seem to run just fine. However, on closer
inspection I found that neither of the other 2 systems had swapping
enabled though there were entries in /etc/fstab for it as follows:
# This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hda /media/cdrom auto
pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
furthermore, if I try to turn swapping on with swapon -a, look what
happens:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# swapon -a
swapon: /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01: Invalid argument
on the other hand, if I run the comand "mkswap -c
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01", I can then turn swapping on and everything is
fine. So what I'm wondering is might there be another step or two
required to move an image to a machine with a different disk structure?
I wouldn't have thought so. Or might this be a subtle bug?
on a related note, one one of the machines the \boot partition didn't
mount even though it too is there and I can mount it manually. I don't
now if the two problems are related or not.
