| 08:43 oz | stockholm: use preserve |
| 08:43 oz | it's described in the FAI Guide |
| 08:44 stockholm | hm, the partition table will be created anyway if i do that? |
| 08:45 stockholm | oz: i know about preserve and the fai guide |
| 08:45 oz | no |
| 08:46 stockholm | oz: hu? "no" what? it wont create a partition table? |
| 08:46 stockholm | oz: this has to work on virgin disks and used ones |
| 08:47 Mrfai | yes the partition table will be created, but it will use the same values for partition, that should be preserved. |
| 08:47 oz | it does...what is your problem? |
| Action: oz don't get it |
| 08:48 stockholm | oz: i do LVM, and currently the HD gets formatted twice, which for large hard disks takes long |
| 08:49 stockholm | it would be nice if it could only take half as long |
| 08:49 stockholm | as the logical volume gets formatted later on, anyway |

| 15:23 Paracyber | i need to install 18 lames for a blade, with different configuration but all under RHEL4, however for the "images servers", i am free to install a debian, that's the goal of my question ;) |
| 15:27 Mrfai | rpm package format is supported. But I'm not sure if anybody did RHEL. AFAIK Henning did some Cent OS isntallations. So it should work, but maybe not out of the box. |
| 15:38 Paracyber | Thanks Mrfai, i believe, for saving time, i will use kickstart, which seems to be more appropriate for my case |

| 16:47 dayid | Hello, |
| 16:49 dayid | I ran acros FAI on web when trying to find a more efficient manner of working with a kickstart system @ my NOC. However, we are locked in on using CentOS as per customer expectations and our support-techs. Does anyone present know if there's a similar project that would work for yum/rpm based distributions, or if someone has so modified this one to work for such? |
| 16:50 dayid | Essentially, our kickstart system I need/want to be more automated (as it doesn't detect any hardware, we're stuck saying "ok, do this one for /dev/sda instead of /dev/hda - and for this machine use x86 vs. 64) - and hopefully through such, not have as many things to change each time we update/include something different (currenly some 10 different variations of the install) |
| 16:50 dayid | and I'm too tired of having people say "just use DD" as we go from 40GB disks for small dedicated boxes to 2TB setups for shared boxes |
