We have been using FAI for several years, but have just started to try
disk partitioning with setup-storage. Our standard disk configuration
uses 2 primary partitions and 3 logical partitions. We would like
to preserve the *size* of all partitions and preserve the *contents*
of only the last two

I have been trying to use FAI 3.4.0 under 64-bit squeeze and
I keep seeing the following error on the install client:
mount.nfs: mount point /var/lib/fai/config does not exist
Error in task confdir. Traceback: task_error main
The nfsroot mounts fine, but the FAI config space does not.
If I li

I would like to add a line like the following to /etc/network/interfaces
in the FAI NFSROOT:
iface lo inet loopback
post-up /opt/sbin/my_script.sh
I've created an nfsroot-hook to add the line (and the script to
/opt/sbin) and that seems to work fine. However, when the install
client boots, i

I am just starting to look at Debian stretch and FAI 5.1.2. I have
an FAI server installed with all stock Debian stretch packages and am
trying to use dracut with overlayfs. When I boot a client to install
stretch via FAI, all of the filesystems appear to mount properly,
including the nfsroot. H

Thomas,
Thank you for creating the nfsroot tarball. Unfortunately, using this
nfsroot produces the same problem for me (/tmp not writeable). If
this nfsroot works OK for you, then my problem must be somewhere else.
Maybe a boot parameter or NFS export option? I'll keep looking and let
you know
Thomas,
We just discovered the same thing here. I actually changed the PXE boot
file for the client to use NFSv3 (by adding ':vers=3' to the end of the
'root=' line), but the effect was the same. I think using NFSv3 for the
installs will be an OK workaround for now. Thanks for you help with thi
