1. For the latest master branch, the mount /proc and /sys have been done for Ubuntu. That means it will be ready in next release.
2. Which version of xCAT were you using? Show it with 'lsxcatd -a'
3. genimage won't do the syncfile, but packimage does.
Could you give me more detail of how you will use Ansible?
Thanks
Best Regards

Hello and thanks for your answer (sorry for the delay, I was in vacation).
I'm not sure I got it correctly : this mechanism is ready but not yet
released, is that correct ?

I'd swear that when I tried this syntax, only one "action" was put in
the chain table (as opposed to, the wanted sequence of action)...
That's why we kept editing the chain table or kept using nodech.

Ok, sorry I read the script to fast. It is indeed *added* (I thought
mypostscript was overwritten).

Ok, but what about genimage ? Aren't packages and additional packages
installed in the chroot installed by running ospkg and otherpkgs
postscripts ? Isn't it the case for the sync'ed files in the image
(syncfile postscript run at genimage time) ?
Or in other words, does genimage install packages and sync files through
postscripts or not at all ?
Anyway, we decided to populate the image with ansible (using the chroot
connection type) so we can cross write updates in the image and on
running nodes with almost the exact same tasks.
Thanks.
