Why? [I have to admit using http to transfer the base-images to the
install clients. But this was when I had to sync the config space between
two different entvironments and didn't know about the glory of revision
control systems. Tar'
Hi,
The first (and seemingly correct) approach is to use fcopy, without mixing
yet another protocol into the mix. FTP/HTTP/NFS seem to me of 'the same
class' and fcopy was (I admit) the easiest to setup by copying the ready
made skeletons-> I tried it for the first approach, as an ultimate step

you mean where you have files and directories like

transfer images etc. so it would be better, to use ftp to tra

Color yourself surprised then. You forgot the base-images which easily
amount to more then 100 MB each. (I've found them quite useful for
installing SuSE-hosts with FAI although you might also use them to '
Sounds to me like you have a network issue, NFS timeouts shouldn't occur
unless there are lost packets -- if the disk is stuck in I/O wait the NFS
process can still respond. Check your interfaces and switches for
dropped/errored packets. You should be able to host hundreds of clients
off a 1G, it
Well,
in my not quite so 10GbE env I experience NFS timeouts when doing 16
machines at a time.
Moving the fai configspace onto ramdisk helps for the rooms equipped with
1Gbps,
yields _lots_ of 'NFS not responding, still trying' for one forgotten room
which has still has 100Mbit

Using a squeeze install server and FAI 3.4.8 I get these NFS
parameters from cat /proc/mounts

A lot. Some years ago I could install about 20 machines simultaneously
when using fast ethernet without any problems. NFS is not a problem,
Hi,
by the way - what are the default options of mounting the NFS by FAI when
installing?
(rsize in particular, atime?)

Increase the amount of nfs processes in /etc/default/nfs-kernel-server. Or
your disk is saturated (unlikely). I install dozens at a time with no slow
down.
RPCNFSDCOUNT=512
Increasing the count arbitrarily high will not affect performance.
However, over 1100 or so it starts to mess up the NFS
