reminder, my fai server is etch ( not etch-and-a-half) , fai 3.2.8
packages all around.
on the fai-client:

The fai-client machine is still up, after the fai failed to partition
the disk.
hi i'm using fai 3.2.8 in etch. my fai client is a machine running
on a adaptec raid card. I'd love to use lenny for a fai server and
install lenny on the fai-client machine, but i can't, there is an
issue out there right now with certain older adaptec raid cards and
current kernel in lenny.

i do not know. all of the examples i find on the internet use file:/
not file:///
i will try file:///
on my fai server i have this defined in fai.conf :
# the configuration space on the install server
FAI_CONFIGDIR=/srv/fai/config
# the local configuration directory on the install client
FAI=/fai
so i cd into there

I've never seen this error before, I am running fai 3.2.14

thanks
when I create a file with fcopy, is there a way to set the owner and
group of the directory it is created in?
here's what I did:
fcopy /home/bill/.ssh/authorized_keys
which creates the directory /home/bill/.ssh , and copied in the
authorized_keys, and it set the owner group and permissions of

I do not think /var/log/fai is getting chown'd to LOGUSE

My fai server is running debian etch amd64 . I am booting i386
clients. I do this because VirtualBox doesn't support 64 bit guests
yet, but that is not today's' problem.
I have this in my make-nfs-root config file:
# - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
# following
So I have booted my client machine , through fai,
in client has presented me the list of the disk partitions , etc., showing me
that stuff is almost all installed.
then i see it trying to ssh to the local client machine.
I assume what I really want it to do is ssh to the fai-server so it
can run
I don't quit understand the instructions in the wiki about what else I need,
to use LVM and setup_storage.
I am trying this as my disk_config, the errors I get are
Error: could not read device /dev/lvm
