[opensuse-autoinstall] btrfs on SLES11 SP3
by Hans-Joachim Ehlers 23 Oct '13

23 Oct '13

Hi I am a little bit lost with BTRFS. The reason i would like to use BTRFS is the ability to shrink a btrfs filesystem on the fly . But if i use only one disk for btrfs , btrfs will use the whole disk and i would need to implement subvolumes WITHOUT the ability to limit the size of a given subvolume (directory ) Example: /dev/sda1 BTRFS / ( subvolume) /tmp (subvolume ) If i use partition i can shrink but i am not able to give the free space to a different partition ( Without repartitioning) So it looks like that i need still a LVM approach or is there any quota management ? Any comments and tips for BTRFS ?

[opensuse-autoinstall] SLES 11 SP3 and btrfs profile example
by Hans-Joachim Ehlers 11 Oct '13

11 Oct '13

Hi , I try to build a partition profile for btrfs The result should look like: /boot 256M (ext3) / 15G brtfs /var 2G brtfs /tmp 4G brtfs I am not sure if i should use a single partition brtfs and apply quota using subvolumes (HOW do i configure that anyway ?) or having dedicated brtfs partitions ( If possible ) Note: A current test for a profile build with autoyast gives during installation an error message:" fsck: fsck.btrfs: not found." Any hints or examples ? Tia Hajo -- Hans-Joachim Ehlers UNIX Systems Engineer MetaModul GmbH on behalf of EUMETSAT Tel : +49 6151 807-7307 http://www.eumetsat.int

[opensuse-autoinstall] SoftwareRAID on GPT disks
by Lukas Puzik / myLoc managed IT AG 18 Sep '13

18 Sep '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello! I'm fighting for a week with autoyast and a SoftwareRAID partitoning on non-EFI servers with two 3-4 TB disks. I've figured out, that autoyast successfully applies my profile to the servers, as long as I don't set up a SoftwareRAID. Means, that autoyast creates automatically a bios_grub partition and installs GRUB2 correctly, the server is able to boot from a 2.7 TB root partiton. I don't need to do anything. As soon as I'm using a SoftwareRAID partitioning, autoyast doesn't create the above mentioned bios_grub partition and bootlader instalation fails, the operating system isn't bootable. It's possible to workaround this issue by manually creating the bios_grub partiton in the partitioning context and to manually enabling bios_grub to this partiton with parted in postpartitioning-scripts, nevertheless GRUB2 will show the same error messages as before, which can't be timed out using error context. But, operating system will boot up correctly from a 2.7 TB md device. I've attached my example partitioning with static 1MB bios_grub partition, 32GB swap, 1GB /boot, and max root partition: <partitioning config:type="list"> <drive> <device>/dev/sda</device> <initialize

[opensuse-autoinstall] Add-on product URI naming scheme
by Andreas Taschner 30 Aug '13

30 Aug '13

Hi In an attempt to create SLES11SP2/3 installation images, which contain various repositories with some in-house developed RPMs, some questions have popped up from my customer. Although I have searched in the "usual places"++ (admit not being very good at that) I have not been able to find clear answers. > My question is how can I refer to a repository in an autoyast file, when > the repository resides in the same medium as the installation files? > > In my autoyast file I have > <add-on> > <add_on_products config:type="list"> > <listentry> > <media_url>cd:///repos/my_repo1</media_url> > <product>my_product1</product> > <product_dir>/</product_dir> > <name>my_product1</name> > </listentry> > </add_on_products> > </add-on> > > Should the media_url be cd:///<path> or can I use file:///<path>? > If I use a usb disk instead of a CD, should I change the cd:///<path> to > usb:///<path>? > Would it be possible to use relurl:///<path>? > In that case what is considered the root of the SuSE DVD installation > media, the root directory or some other path? > > It seems that cd:/// works for installation with a DVD. I didn't find > this in the documentation and I don't know if file:/// is supposed to > work or not. I once had a case about location of the info file for linuxrc (where one could refer to info=disk:/info?device=*usb*), but I am not sure this applies to AutoYaST. Also the paths available during installation are not clear to me. Is anybody willing to elaborate or point to sources that document the naming schemes and paths. Thank you.

[opensuse-autoinstall] install hangs inside of virtual machine
by Lonni J Friedman 09 Aug '13

09 Aug '13

Greetings, I'm trying to run an autoyast based installation of SLES11-SP3 inside of a KVM based virtual machine (host OS is Fedora19-x86_64, if that matters), and it is consistently hanging at: Sending dhcp request to eth0 It sounds quite similar to this bug: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=799496 however, I'm not installing over NFS at all. I'm invoking the installation from local media, and pulling down all components via http. This is the isolinux 'append' entry that I'm using: textmode=1 initrd=sles113_64bit.img autoyast=http://172.20.232.152/distros/suse/os/SLES11-SP3/x86_64/autoyastcuda.xml install=http://172.20.232.152/distros/suse/os/SLES11-SP3/x86_64 Has anyone else run into anything like this? thanks -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-autoinstall] network devices changing ...
by Dr.Peer-Joachim Koch 01 Aug '13

01 Aug '13

Hi, on new DELL R820 I'm currently trying to install SLES11SP1. A newer version is not possible (software reasons ...). I used some older autoinstall file, which works for old nodes. On the new node the installations fails. 1) The initrd was modified (new tg3 and megariad_sas module. But both modules are not loaded automatically. I have to do this by hand. 2) When I start the installation process after loading the modules, everything seems to be fine, but after the first boot the network devices have changed. In in the udev rules file the eth{0,1} switched to eth{2,3} and eth{2,3} switched to eth{0,1}. So after the first boot, no network is available and I have to switch the udev rules (doing a rescue boot). Therefore not everything of the autoinstall script is executed. *) How can I check, why the modules are *not* loaded ? *) Can I force in the autoinstall file to create the udev rules according to the mac addresses (lowest mac adr. -> eth0; lowest mac adr.+1 ->eth1,...) -- Bye, Peer _________________________________________________________ Max-Planck-Institut fuer Biogeochemie Dr. Peer-Joachim Koch Hans-Knöll Str.10 Telefon: ++49 3641 57-6705 D-07745 Jena Telefax: ++49 3641 57-7705
