read-only filesystem in FAI 3.2.5

[Tobias Unsleber]

Hi Michael,

thanks for your reply. After discussing this with my colleague, who works mainly on that issue, we came together that this is an dhcp server issue. The comment, as I now understand it, points to the dhcp server config. We had a test scenario first, were it was alright, and integrated now into a production dhcp-server where we got this error. I think we will recheck the config against the fai-manual and then ask for further asisstance. Besides, I used to work with fai one year ago paused and I am now using the current fai version in this project.

Regards,
tobias
