What's the official website for FAI?
http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai
What order are scripts executed in?
Scripts are executed in class definition order, and in numerical order within each class.
For example, if the classes FOO and BAR were defined (in that order), and $FAI_CONFIGDIR/scripts/FOO contained S20 and S40, and $FAI_CONFIGDIR/scripts/BAR contained S30, the order of execution would be:
- $FAI_CONFIGDIR/scripts/FOO/S20
- $FAI_CONFIGDIR/scripts/FOO/S40
- $FAI_CONFIGDIR/scripts/BAR/S30
make-fai-nfsroot dies silently, Why?
Restarted it with more debug output (-v) and (-r) to recover yielded: Reading Package Lists...
E: Dynamic MMap ran out of room E: Error occured while processing phpgroupware- netsaint (NewPackage) E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/172.25.1.52:9999 _debian_dists_unstable_main_binary-i386_Packages E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
Reason:
As I my default /etc/apt/sources.list read in stable, testing and unstable, apt-get needs a lot
of space for its internal tables. Therefore I had also a special apt.conf which is missing in the
nfsroot of FAI. This is a known problem of apt.
Solution:
Copied /etc/apt/sources to /etc/fai/sources.list, then minimised it to contain just one version (e.g. stable)
of Debian
