A couple of questions about deploying opensuse 42.3 via FAI

[Matteo Guglielmi]

Dear All,

I'm currently testing an opensuse 42.3 image which I did put together
using 'mk-basefile' and some modified rinse files in /etc/rinse and
/usr/lib/rinse.

Everything works but I would like to understand two things (see error
messages at the bottom of the email):


1)

Is it possible to have dbus working when using $CHROOTCMD in FAI?

Is it a problem if dbus is not running in the chroot environment?

Do you know how dbus could be started in the chroot environment?


2)

The 'mk_zerofree_list' function defined in the 'subroutines' file is
failing when installing opensuse 42.3.

Apparently the shell being used is not bash but dash.

But, isn't FAI using the /bin/sh file of the nfsroot?

Because that /bin/sh points to /bin/bash in the nfsroot... so, which
shell (I mean which binary) is using FAI for all its functions?

Thanks everybody,

MG.
