hi Brian,
Good catch. Based on the description, I think maybe it is the similar issue described in this ticket.
2 hints:
1. would you please take a look at the file `/var/log/xcat/xcat.log` on the compute node after reboot? this file contains some logs on postscripts. If the information is not sufficient to position the real cause, you can enable `site.xcatdebugmode` by `chdef -t site -o clustersite xcatdebugmode=1` and retrovision the node to get more verbose information.
2. is it a hierarchy cluster with service node? if yes, have you upgrade xCATsn on SN?
best regards

Yang Song,Could it be related to https://sourceforge.net/p/xcat/bugs/4579/I checked the remoteshell script and is has /usr/sbin/sshd at the bottom, so not sure what's happening.On Fri, Aug 10, 2018 at 1:22 PM, Brian Joiner <martinitime1...@gmail.com> wrote: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--On Thu, Aug 9, 2018 at 10:10 PM, Song BJ Yang <yang...@cn.ibm.com> wrote:Hi Brian Joiner,is there any packages specified in `otherpkglist` and `otherpkgdir`? which which will be installed by `otherpkgs` during the post-installation rebootwould you please provide the osimage definition and node definition? thanks------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------

Hardware: DellDeployment OS: RHEL 6.8No changes were made to OS definition, other than adding the syncfile listOur client upgraded their xCAT version from 2.7 to 2.14.1 and we're seeing some bizarre behavior when deploying the nodes.Just to make everything as clean as possible, I created a separate group with no postscripts (so only the default postscripts run), and removed all other post scripts and postbootscripts from the node definition.What's happening is: during initial deployment, 'syncfiles' copies over files, I've verified that they exist with 'ls', then the normal post install reboot occurs. After the reboot, all of the synced files are GONE. Multiple files, in multiple directories (mostly in /etc). I even created a dummy test file to make sure, and it's there during install but not after the reboot. Syncfiles always exits with 0updatenode -F will resync the files, and they survive a reboot.This problem is so strange, I've never seen anything like it. Any ideas?--Brian Joiner------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------
