trivial problem with fai-setup

thank you for the answer.
Now it works (fai-setup).


Next problem(s) :-)
fai 2.5
boot via floppy (grub, fai-dhcp)

I am in full debug mode (/bin/sh -x in all fai-script)

1)
fai-setup:
++ id -ng fai
+ logusergid=nogroup

is it right? nogropup? why not users (or a fai group)?


2)
in /home/fai/nfsroot/var/tmp/base.tgz :
/etc/fstab:
# UNCONFIGURED FSTAB FOR BASE SYSTEM

3)
+ setup_bootp
++ which mknbi-linux
+ '[' -x /usr/bin/mknbi-linux ']'
+ mknbi-linux --verbose -a ip=both /home/fai/nfsroot/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20 /boot/fai/installimage
Unknown option: verbose
/boot/fai/installimage: file not found
++ which imggen
+ '[' -x '' ']'
+ echo 'BOOTP environment prepared.'
BOOTP environment prepared.
+ echo 'make-fai-nfsroot finished properly.'
make-fai-nfsroot finished properly.
+ exit 0

there is no installimage in /boot/fai , but the client boot via dhcp
anyway.
Is it correct?


4)
in fai-setup:
add_export_line $FAI_CONFIGDIR  "@faiclients(ro)"
add_export_line $NFSROOT  "@faiclients(ro,no_root_squash)"

should be (since /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server complain it):
add_export_line $FAI_CONFIGDIR  "@faiclients(ro,async)"
add_export_line $NFSROOT  "@faiclients(ro,no_root_squash,async)"

4b)
why 'ro'?

still going on with fai.....

thank you.
