LVM mirror

2023-03-21 Diskussionsfäden Henning Fehrmann
Hello, we intend to install the OS on a LVM which is put on top of two mirrored physical devices without using mdadm. We use FAI v 5.10.3. The standard disk_config: ``` disk_config disk1 disklabel:gpt-bios fstabkey:uuid primary - 1- - - disk_config disk2 sameas:disk1

probably no grub-install in FAI installation

running out of arp-cache

Hello, On a regular running system we have been faced with the problem that we went out of the arp-cache. This was solved by adding net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh1(2,3)=... lines in the /etc/sysctl.conf. The same thing happen now during the FAI installation. I am not really sure at which point

Hi all, after a succsessgul 'fai softupdate' /var/lib/fai/config is still mounted. Currently, we are using the fai-client version 3.1.8. Has this bug already been fixed in newer versions? Cheers, Henning Fehrmann -- Dr. Henning Fehrmann - Max Planck Institute for Gravitation

BIOS
