Folks,

I would like to build a statelite image from an existing
freshly-installed diskful system image (so the workflow will be build
a gold image system, then capture, then build other systems
statelite).  But imgcapture is failing.  When I run it, I get this
message:

# imgcapture rsa03 -o SL6-x86_64-statelite-cng2 -i eth0 -n igb  -V
nodename is rsa03; os is SL6; arch is x86_64; profile is cng2
bootif is eth0; netdriver is igb
the output of "stat / -f |grep Type" on rsa03 is:
rsa03:     ID: 87cd4ce061a2fd20 Namelen: 255     Type: ext2/ext3
The file type is ext2/ext3
The excludestr is "cd /; find . ! -path "./tmp/*" ! -path "./proc/*" !
-path "./sys/*" ! -path "./dev/*" ! -path "./xcatpost/*" ! -path
"./install/*" |cpio -H newc -o |gzip -c - >/tmp/xcat_imgcapture.15312"
running "echo -n > /tmp/xcat_imgcapture.15312" on rsa03
Capturing image on rsa03...
running "cd /; find . ! -path "./tmp/*" ! -path "./proc/*" ! -path
"./sys/*" ! -path "./dev/*" ! -path "./xcatpost/*" ! -path
"./install/*" |cpio -H newc -o |gzip -c - >/tmp/xcat_imgcapture.15312"
on rsa03 via the "xdsh" command
Error: The "xdsh" command fails to run "cd /; find . ! -path "./tmp/*"
! -path "./proc/*" ! -path "./sys/*" ! -path "./dev/*" ! -path
"./xcatpost/*" ! -path "./install/*" |cpio -H newc -o |gzip -c -
>/tmp/xcat_imgcapture.15312" on rsa03
# echo $?
1

So obviously the xdsh command fails?  Let's try that directly (slight
change to use another output file):

# xdsh rsa03 'cd /; find . ! -path "./tmp/*" ! -path "./proc/*" !
-path "./sys/*" ! -path "./dev/*" ! -path "./xcatpost/*" ! -path
"./install/*" |cpio -H newc -o |gzip -c - >/tmp/xcat_imgcapture.15313'
Error: rsa03: 4075749 blocks
# echo $?
0

So it worked?  Or not?  How about running the command directly on rsa03:

# xdsh rsa03 'cd /; find . ! -path "./tmp/*" ! -path "./proc/*" !
-path "./sys/*" ! -path "./dev/*" ! -path "./xcatpost/*" ! -path
"./install/*" |cpio -H newc -o |gzip -c - >/tmp/xcat_imgcapture.15314
4075776 blocks
gzip: / is a directory -- ignored
4075776 blocks
# echo $?
0

That looks like it worked.  So what failed?  I guess maybe something
wrote to stderr (like the status messages)?
