Hi all,
We're trying to use FAI to install Debian servers with all partitions,
including root, on LVM. The GRUB_PC/10-setup script fails. I added
"bash -x" and I get the following in error.log:
fai.log:GRUB_PC/10-setup FAILED with exit code 1.
shell.log:+ trap 'error=$(($?>$error?$?:$error))' ERR
shell.log:grub-probe: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for
/dev/VolGroup00/LVroot. Check your device.map.
shell.log:++ error=1
shell.log:++ error=1
shell.log:cat: /boot/grub/video.lst: No such file or directory
shell.log:GRUB_PC/10-setup FAILED with exit code 1.
But if after this error, I go into a shell and "chroot /target", I can
run "grub-install /dev/sda" and that works: the installed system boots
fine off the LVM. If we set up root or /boot as a traditional physical
partition, this does not happen.
Hello Aaron,
we're aware of this and we believe that it's a grub bug. I would link
you to it, but I can't find it at the moment; Thomas Lange had shown it
to me two weeks ago.
Anyhow, as you mentioned setting up grub works, despite setup-storage
returning an error towards the end of the installation.
We'll try to fix this false flag error but in the meanwhile I suggest
that you test your grub configs by manually running grub setup in
/target on one of your machines and then during your deployment to your
cluster, simply ignore the error returned by GRUB_PC/10-setup.
If you should experience a critical issue due to the whole thing, please
let us know.
Best Regards
Kerim
