I don't know if this is related, but it seems my distribution (EL5u2) is getting misclassified by getDistributionList as unknown and my clutype and cluster_conf also: __repository__comoonics_bootimage__cdsl_local_dir="/cdsl.local" __repository__comoonics_bootimage__cdsl_prefix="/cluster/cdsl" __repository__comoonics_bootimage__distribution="unknown" __repository__comoonics_bootimage__shortdistribution="unknown" __repository__comoonics_bootimage__clutype="gfs" __repository__comoonics_bootimage__cluster_conf="/etc/cluster/cluster.conf" __repository__comoonics_bootimage__rootfs="ocfs2" __repository__comoonics_bootimage__chroot="0" __repository__comoonics_bootimage__cluster_conf="/etc/cluster/cluster.conf" __repository__comoonics_bootimage__hardwareids="eth0:00:16:3E:24:6C:79 eth1:00:16:3E:74:DC:50" > -----Original Message----- > From: Dan Magenheimer > Sent: Thursday, April 23, 2009 5:20 PM > To: Dan Magenheimer; Marc Grimme > Cc: ope...@li... > Subject: RE: [OSR-users] New Preview RPMs for next Release > Candidate of > comoonics-bootimage > > > A couple more items before I quit for the day: > > I manually hacked in a symbolic link for /var so > the boot would work better and turned on -x in > the bootsr script. > > I am also seeing a couple of messages of the type: > > Error: cannot find /var/comoonics/chrootpath > > and I see that message comes from manage_chroot.sh > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Dan Magenheimer > > Sent: Thursday, April 23, 2009 4:42 PM > > To: Marc Grimme > > Cc: ope...@li... > > Subject: Re: [OSR-users] New Preview RPMs for next Release > > Candidate of > > comoonics-bootimage > > > > > > Hi Marc -- > > > > Thanks for the help.
