Hello, The xcat.log file says only the syslog and remoteshell (default postscripts provided by xCAT) were ran on the node.
Last Friday I tried removing the exlist file for the node and setting the provmethod to "netboot" instead of the osimage name. When the node booted, at first there was no change. However, after a while, all remaining postscripts were finally executed. I then checked again the xcat.log file and it said 13 minutes were elapsed between the remoteshell and the syncfiles scripts. After the syncfiles, all remaining custom postscripts executed properly. So now I need to investigate why the remoteshell postscript takes so long to run.

It also looks like for a "mypostscripts" file but I'm not sure where it tries to retrieve it from and what that file is. There are 3 postscripts that should be run on the nodes but none of them are. I tried pushing them in both osimage and postscripts table, it didn't change anything. The exports from the head node are correctly mounted, the network settings are also good...I really have no idea what's happening here.
