[opensuse-autoinstall] Problem with fetch profile via nfs in 10.3
Hi, I'm posting this as a follow-up to older posts I found on the mailing- list archives regarding problems with nfs during the autoinstall procedure (and possibly related topics) with 10.3. The posts I'm referring to are: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-autoinstall/2007-10/msg00031.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-autoinstall/2007-10/msg00007.html and possibly: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-autoinstall/2007-10/msg00010.html I found a solution to start the nfs-mount manually and described this in: http://forums.suselinuxsupport.de/index.php?act=ST&f=20&t=63305 However, this is merely a workaround and identifies the source of the problem, while I still don't know how to automize this in a fashion, such that the autoinstallation procedure runs clean without stopping and returning errors in between. Furthermore I do understand, from what a learned from the first mentioned reference, that Uwe Gansert already has a solution to this problem. I would be very interested in learning more about this, since I unfortunately couldn't find any description of such a solution. many thanks Vincent David -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org

the solution is to mount the autoyast profile source with the option "-o nolock". That was fixed in the autoyast code itself for 11.0 The problem only occurs on 10.3 -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Business: http://www.suse.de/~ug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org
Hello, is it possible with autoyast installation to create a raid1 meta device (/dev/md1) with only one partition (/dev/sda1) ? This does make sense if you want to save the "old system" on partition (/dev/sdb1) to have a fast fallback possiblity in case the "new system" does not work. Up to now I get the error - 6002 , if try it.

Is there a way from the command-line to make an autoyast reference profile and create a cd image based on the resulting xml file? I can do it through yast, but I want to be able to back up the current machine config on a regular basis in case the machine needs to be rebuilt.

yast2 clone_system writes to /root/autoinst.xml and is the only way currently -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Business: http://www.suse.de/~ug now playing Diary Of Dreams - Son Of A Thief -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org
Can the "make cd" yast gui be duplicated from the command-line? -----Original Message----- From: Uwe Gansert [mailto:ug@suse.de] Sent: Monday, December 10, 2007 10:26 AM To: opensuse-autoinstall@opensuse.org Subject: [opensuse-autoinstall] clone system On Freitag, 7.

dunno if it works with AY, but the command line utility "mdadm" expects (and accepts) the keyword "missing" in place of the spare device name (/dev/sdb1 in your case). Worth a try...
