HI, This should be a xCAT bug, I opened xCAT bug https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3541948&group_id=208749&atid=1006945 to address this problem. In the meanwhile, you can manually modify the subroutine generic_post in /opt/xcat/share/xcat/netboot/<osname>/genimage to change the mount options for the "/" as a workaround. here is an example:
print $cfgfile "$rootfs_name / tmpfs rw,size=4096m 0 1\n"; Thanks, ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Li,Guang Cheng (李光成) IBM China System Technology Laboratory Email: [email protected] Address: Building 28, ZhongGuanCun Software Park, No.8, Dong Bei Wang West Road, Haidian District Beijing 100193, PRC 北京市海淀区东北旺西路8号中关村软件园28号楼 邮编: 100193 From: Patrick Jaeger <[email protected]> To: xCAT Users Mailing list <[email protected]> Date: 2012-07-09 19:29 Subject: [xcat-user] why dracut mode ignore -l size option on genimage hello , we have the following question : during diskless installation we use the genimage command with -l <size> ( to reduce the size of the size of root system .) why dracut mode seems to ignore the -l option of genimage command ?
