I know there are several threads already going related to this topic, sorry to start another. I'm using a GRUB bootable USB stick to start FAI. I've already attempted the suggestions here:
https://lists.uni-koeln.de/pipermail/linux-fai/2016-August/011454.html Here's my /etc/exports on the FAI server (192.168.80.138): # Force first export NFSv4, everything else NFSv3 (for FAI) /srv/nfsv4 192.168.80.0/24(fsid=0,ro,no_subtree_check) /srv/fai *(async,ro) Here's the stanza from my GRUB entry: menuentry 'Debian 9 (Stretch) 64 bit FAI using DHCP' { insmod part_msdos echo 'Loading Linux 4.9.0-1-amd64 ...' linux /stretch64/vmlinuz-4.9.0-1-amd64 ip=eth0:dhcp root=nfs:192.168.80.138:/srv/fai/nfsroot,nfsvers=3 aufs boot=live FAI_CONFIG_SRC=nfs://192.168.80.138/srv/fai/config,nfsvers=3 FAI_FLAGS=verbose,sshd,createvt FAI_ACTION=install BOOT_IMAGE=vmlinuz-4.9.0-1-amd64 HOSTNAME=faitest echo 'Loading initial RAM disk ...' initrd /stretch64/initrd.img-4.9.0-1-amd64 } I am still having the read-only /tmp issue. Any other suggestions?
