I'm sure this is a simple one, but I can't find the answer:
When booting my stateless node, the initrd loads without a problem, but
downloading the rootimg fails. My rootimage.tar.gz is 442 MB, a fairly
normal size as far as I can tell.
The error message is actually "no such file or device" but I already
determined that the real problem is that the root file system in the initrd
is too small to hold the rootimg.tar.gz.
When I strip down the rootimg.tar.gz to the bare minimum (363 MB), the
download completes, but extracting the image fails with an error "no space
left on the device".
How do I generate an initrd with more space in the root fs?
Here is my osimage :
Object name: rhels7.4-x86_64-netboot-hpccn
exlist=/install/custom/netboot/rh/hpccn.rhels7.4.x86_64.exlist
imagetype=linux
osarch=x86_64
osdistroname=rhels7.4-x86_64
osname=Linux
osvers=rhels7.4
otherpkgdir=/install/post/otherpkgs/rhels7.4/x86_64
otherpkglist=/install/custom/netboot/rh/hpccn.rhels7.4.x86_64.otherpkgs.pkglist
partitionfile=/install/custom/netboot/rh/hpccn.rhels7.4.x86_64.cfglocaldisk
permission=755
pkgdir=/install/rhels7.4/x86_64
pkglist=/install/custom/netboot/rh/hpccn.rhels7.4.x86_64.pkglist
postinstall=/install/custom/netboot/rh/hpccn.rhels7.4.x86_64.postinstall
profile=hpccn
provmethod=netboot
rootimgdir=/install/netboot/rhels7.4/x86_64/hpccn
synclists=/install/custom/netboot/rh/hpccn.rhels7.4.x86_64.synclist
And here is how I generate the image:
/opt/xcat/bin/genimage rhels7.4-x86_64-netboot-hpccn
/opt/xcat/sbin/packimage --method=tar rhels7.4-x86_64-netboot-hpccn
Thanks!
