error while running fai-setup for ubuntu-edgy

[Prafash Kumar]

Hi Shekar,

Can you check if you have "uniofs" filesystem support with the kernel ?
If not get the patch from http://download.filesystems.org/unionfs
and rebuild the kernel.

I had the same error and thomas asked me to try this.  And worked for me.

Thanks,
Prafash
