Post subject:  Diskless Frontend Script not working
hi @ all,

i'm trying to use a diskless frontend with 6.03.00 and installed the package
Quote:
diskless-legacy
starting
Quote:
config_diskless_frontend.bash
creates the new file structure for the frontend and sais, i should boot the frontend and restart the script to optain the mac adress of the frontend interrogating daemon.log.

rebooting the frontend machine works regarding the dhcp and tftp, the kernel boots until it sais
Quote:
nfs over tcp not available from 192.168.3.106
and gets a kernel panic. i think this should be ok for the moment, so i restart the script on my backend, but it doesn't find the mac address in daemon.log. :(

having a look into the script, i saw it is searching for
Quote:
authentic mount request
in daemon.log, but this is not happening. the damon.log only logs the dhcpdiscover, dhcpoffer, dhcprequest and dhcppack...

i made a virtual machine as a clean r6.03.00 installation fully updated to be sure that not only my several times updated backend system is the point, but in the vm there are the same problems...

any idea on this?

regards, jan

Is nfsd running? What does /etc/exports look like? Mine is below. I have three diskless clients: fe-1, fe-2 & sbe



Code:
[mythtv@mbe mythvideo-scanner]$ cat /etc/exports
# /etc/exports
#
# See exports(5) for a description.

# use exportfs -arv to reread
#/export    192.168.1.10(rw,no_root_squash)


/data/var/cache/pacman *(rw,no_root_squash,async,no_subtree_check)
/nfsroot/fe-1 *(rw,no_root_squash,async,no_subtree_check)
#/myth *(rw,no_root_squash,async,no_subtree_check)
/nfsroot/fe-2 *(rw,no_root_squash,async,no_subtree_check)
/myth *(rw,async,no_subtree_check)
/nfsroot/sbe *(rw,no_root_squash,async,no_subtree_check)

hi,

thanks for your reply.

yes, nfsd is running. my exports file is the following:

Code:
[root@myth-vm2 mythtv]$ cat /etc/exports
# /etc/exports
#
# See exports(5) for a description.

# use exportfs -arv to reread
#/export    192.168.1.10(rw,no_root_squash)


/myth *(rw,async,no_subtree_check)
/data/var/cache/pacman *(rw,no_root_squash,async,no_subtree_check)
/nfsroot/net-fe *(rw,no_root_squash,async,no_subtree_check)


so, this looks quite good, i think...

regards, jan

Google reveals some good tips, from here for example http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1591697
Code:
rpcinfo -p localhost | egrep "mount|nfs|port"
ps aux | egrep "nfs|mountd"

and others...
