Subject: fai-client: does not consistently list hard disks in the same order Package: fai-client Version: 3.2.4 Severity: normal Tags: patch
*** Please type your report below this line *** On a new target two hard disks were listed as "hda sda". On a subsequent re-installation the disks were listed as "sda hda". The standard Etch 2.6.18 fai-kernel didn't properly detect new hardware so I was forced to build a 2.6.24 fai nfsroot kernel. I now have Etch installed on both hard disks :^). I'm not sure if the order changed due to the different kernel or if udev was responsible but it doesn't matter. The following patch allows FAI to consistently list hard disks it has found. (Sorry if the lines wrap.) # diff /usr/lib/fai/disk-info ./disk-info 23c23 < egrep ' cciss/c.d.\b| ida/c.d.\b| rd/c.d.\b| hd.\b| sd.\b|/disc \b' /proc/partitions | diskandsize --- > egrep ' cciss/c.d.\b| ida/c.d.\b| rd/c.d.\b| hd.\b| sd.\b|/disc \b' /proc/partitions | sort -k +4 | diskandsize Thanks, Chris D -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.23-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages fai-client depends on: ii file 4.17-5etch3 Determines file type using "magic" ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.20 Perl interface to libapt-pkg ii perl 5.8.8-7etch1 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction Versions of packages fai-client recommends: ii debconf-utils 1.5.11etch1 debconf utilities -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
