Revision as of 14:35, 6 January 2016
The following Variables do exist in FAI (example values included):
Please do not edit that much, without contacting Mrfai. Currently it's my private list of variable and comments.
type: int = internal use only; CS used in config space (often defined by *.var)
Which variables are needed inside the nfsroot, so the install clients can use them? (maybe write them into fai-client.var or nfsroot.var). Then do not copy fai.conf into the nfsroot any more.

Useful oneliners
find all files not under a ".svn" directory and replace the string '$diskvar' with '$LOGDIR/diskvar'
Test:
find -name '.svn' -prune -o -type f -exec perl -n -e 's/\$diskvar/\$LOGDIR\/diskvar/g && print' {} \;
find -name '.svn' -prune -o -type f -exec perl -p -e 's/\$diskvar/\$LOGDIR\/diskvar/g' {} \; | less
Really replace: ( same, but "i" added )
find -name '.svn' -prune -o -type f -exec perl -pi -e 's/\$diskvar/\$LOGDIR\/diskvar/g' {} \;
