Strange AUFS problem with squeeze...

[Dirk Geschke]

Hi all,

maybe someone has a good hint for me...

I just try to install an FAI client with squeeze from a lenny server.

But I get a lot of errors when files are copied and then directly
after this are accessed.

For example:

fcopy: copied /var/lib/fai/config/files/etc/init.d/fai-update/TRAIN to /target/etc/init.d/fai-update
update-rc.d: error: unable to read /etc/init.d/fai-update

There are a lot of these messages, but the files are copied, I can see
them in the target directory.

Or this:

mkdir: cannot create directory `/scratch/firefox-extensions': No such file or directory
cd: 4: can't cd to /scratch/firefox-extensions

As before, the directory is created...

If I use cfengine to create links on directories which are not yet there
it seems that the kernel throws a stack trace regarding the module "aufs"
and the installation stops here.

Has anyone an idea/solution/fix for this strange behaviour? 

The used FAI version for installation is FAI 3.4.7, 24 Dec 2010 and I use
this kernel to boot via PXE:

Kernel currently running: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Kernel parameters: initrd=initrd.img-2.6.32-5-amd64 ip=dhcp root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=/srv/fai-squeeze/nfsroot boot=live FAI_FLAGS=verbose,sshd,create
vt FAI_ACTION=install BOOT_IMAGE=vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-amd64 

Very strange...

Best regards

Dirk
