That is exactly it! It was more or less staring me in the face, but I just couldn’t see it.

To keep the image size small (and give you as much RAM as possible for actual work), xCAT will remove unneeded files when preparing your image. The exact list of files it removes is in your exlist file. You can find the location of that file with lsdef -t osimage <image> Edit that file as needed, then rebuild your image. _______________________________________________________________________ Kevin Keane | Systems Architect | University of San Diego ITS | kke...@sandiego.edu<mailto:kke...@sandiego.edu> Maher Hall, 192 |5998 Alcalá Park | San Diego, CA 92110-2492 | 619.260.6859 | Text: 760-721-8339 REMEMBER!

We’re using xcat 2.14.2 deploying centos 7.6 After a while though, I noticed that our ramdisk machines were out of sync with the nfs disk machines – specifically they were not picking up the timezone information. A little further digging revealed that 27 directories in /usr/share (including zoneinfo), so the ones running nfs are showing BST while the ramdisk ones are showing UTC. Also including in the missing directories list are a bunch of gnome directories and a few others. I double-checked and the directories exist in the image directory. I unzipped rootimg-statelite.gz and ran cpio -t < rootimg-statelite | grep share/zoneinfo | more Sure enough – no zoneinfo . So I reran liteimg. Then did the same check on it again. Still no zoneinfo. It feels like I might be missing something obvious, but I’m not sure what ... any pointers would be very much appreciated, Jeff Berry MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, Cambridge _______________________________________________ xCAT-user mailing list xCAT-user@lists.sourceforge.net<mailto:xCAT-user@lists.sourceforge.net> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/xcat-user
