ftar not choosing class-based base archive file

2016-04-25 Diskussionsfäden Frank Steinberg
Hi, with a recent FAI version (5.0.3) on a jessie nfsroot, ftar’s class-based picking of a base archive did not work for me. As a first workaround I had to replace [ -f $ENV{LOGDIR}/FAI_CLASSES ] && classes=$(< $ENV{LOGDIR}/FAI_CLASSES) by [ -f $LOGDIR/FAI_CLASSES ] && classes=$(< $LOGDIR/FAI

BTRFS subvolumes

2016-10-06 Diskussionsfäden Frank Steinberg
Hi, I intend to switch my FAI setups from using ext4 to btrfs, with no RAID levels („single“), but with subvolumes (on a common toplevel volume). With the current setup-storage code, I could not get this working. The main reason is that each volume under the btrfs config section causes a new mk

Patch to support NFS diskless clients and BTRFS subvolumes

2017-11-20 Diskussionsfäden Frank Steinberg
Hi Thomas et al, I am using FAI happily for a couple of years. In some situations, I have to setup clients with BTRFS including multiple subvolumes, and in recent cases I prefer to install diskless clients using NFS root filesystems. I've attached my patch (sorry, just based a freshly created n
