Hi,
I'm trying to setup FAI for a test machine (KVM virtual machine,
managed from virt-manager)
in order to understand enough to deploy FAI for some 120 machines (of
5 flavours) in faculty computer rooms.
fai-setup -v shows quite nice installation of ubuntu 10.04 to
/srv/fai/nfsroot/live/filesy

Hi David,
I have never done that with fai-cd in particular, but I would look around the
UNETBOOTIN project.
Good luck

Hi,
I have a question concerning booting fai-installed hosts
After the installation I would like to make FAI to boot the local hard
disk on _server_ side, not touching the (presumably quite remote) host
I mean -> host is initially setup for PXE boot, FAI takes over the
installation process, finish

Hi,
by path is ok after reboots, even after disk change
for difference btween :00 and :03
maybe see the numbers produced by lspci ;)
I have quite the same setup here:

Hi,
keep in mind that members of software RAID, lvm physical volumes and
so on may house the data despite zeroed out first sector:
#dd if=/dev/md0 of=file count=1
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
512 bytes (512 B) copied, 0.00886503 s, 57.8 kB/s
#dd if=/dev/zero of=zero count=1
1+0 records in

Hi,
why do you need that?
A well configured installation (ssh) runs fai-chboot on its own...

Hi Ivan,
According to my limited experience - it's already done by FAI, just
configure the installation properly,
so a succesfull installation runs fai-chboot on its own, without your
intervention.
Cheers

Hi Ivan,
that's exactly what I meant in the original post by 'properly
configuring ssh' ;)
Generate the key inside the nfs chroot and set it up for server login.
have a look there:

Fai does not use NFS4 as of yet AFAIK,
and I think Thomas (the one responsible for the wiki)
already rephrased it.

Hi,
Word of explanation to avoid further confusion:
the problem has been traced back to a misconfiguration -> NOSUID was set on
the partition in question...
quick and dirty summary: FAI OK, PAM OK, sudo/su OK.

Hi,
by the way - what are the default options of mounting the NFS by FAI when
installing?
(rsize in particular, atime?)

I'm considering a new installation on wheezy (having used the squeeze
