Song,
Yes there are otherpkgs that run after the reboot. I'll try to get the OS
and node defs to you at some point today. The client did respond back
after doing some investigation of his own:
"..it appears that the script is running without a chroot and writing the
files to the genimage transient file system." I did a further test by
creating a 600 second sleep postscript, and found that the syncfiles are in
the /etc/ but not in /mnt/sysimage/etc/
I put a test file in /mnt/sysimage/etc/ and it survived the reboot. None
of the 'syncfiles' were there, but my test file was.
Why would syncfiles not write to the correct directory during deployment?
I'm concerned that something didn't go right during the upgrade.
Thanks,
Brian Joiner
