1707 |
- lots of updates in the fai guide |
| 189 |
lange |
1487 |
- use the script fai-class for defining classes; scripts in class/ |
| 190 |
|
|
must not have prefix S; the following command renames your |
| 191 |
|
|
existing scripts so they will work with the new command: |
| 192 |
|
|
rename 's/S(\d\d.+)(\.sh|\.pl)/$1/' S* |
| 193 |
lange |
1394 |
the order of scripts executed has slightly changed; all classes |
| 194 |
|
|
from the file $HOSTNAME are defined after the scripts in class/ |

fai-class has a manual page |

| 200 |
|
|
uses grub or lilo as boot loader, it supports more than one boot |
| 201 |
|
|
protocol, more disk space is available on the floppy |
| 202 |
|
|
- the exit status of every hook and script is written to |
| 203 |
|
|
status.log |
| 204 |
|
|
- the hook faiend.LAST parses all log files for warnings and |
| 205 |
|

errors and writes them to error.log |
| 206 |
|
|
- variable.sh lists all variables defined after task defvar has finished |
| 207 |
|
|
- FAI_LOCATION is now defined in fai.conf, FAI_ACTION is defined |
| 208 |
|
|
in LAST.var, do not use T170 and T171 via a BOOTP or DHCP server |

- much of reorganizing the code, but this does not change the user |
| 216 |
|
|
visible behavior |
| 217 |
lange |
1394 |
- some functions that were defined as shell subroutines are now |
| 218 |
lange |
1487 |
separate scripts in /usr/lib/fai (fai-class, create_ramdisk, |
| 219 |
|
|
prepare_apt, fai-divert, fai-savelog, task_sysinfo, ...), they |
| 220 |
|
|
are not standalone script, most of them only work in the fai |
| 221 |
|
|
environment, this should solve the problems with a too big |
| 222 |
|
|
environment (when using xargs) |
| 223 |
lange |
1357 |
- PATH always starts with /usr/local/{sbin,bin} |

|
nfsroot: the variable $FAI_SOURCES_LIST or the files |
| 231 |
|
|
/etc/fai/sources.list or /etc/apt/sources.list |
| 232 |
lange |
1487 |
- you can add a list of classes after the PACKAGE command in files |
| 233 |
|
|
in package_config, so the following packages will only be |
| 234 |
|
|
installed for this class (Please only use this in the file |
| 235 |
|
|
package_config/DEFAULT) |
| 236 |
lange |

| 237 |
lange |
1564 |

| 238 |
lange |
1662 |

New in FAI 2.2.1 |
| 349 |
|
|
|
| 350 |
|
|
- FAI_FLAGS can be space or comma separated. They must be space |
| 351 |

additional kernel parameters. |
| 353 |
|

- bootp requests on multiple ethernet devices show device name |
| 354 |
|
|
(Thanks to Geert Stappers) |

New in FAI 2.2 |
| 359 |

831 |
- the fai guide has a new chapter about building a Beowulf cluster |
| 361 |
|
|
- new utilities for Beowulf cluster: all_hosts and rshall |
| 362 |
lange |
835 |
- new utility softupdate for updating packages on a running system |
| 363 |
lange |
831 |
- improved example for diskless hook |
| 364 |
lange |
836 |
- major reorganization of the rcS_fai code; most parts are moved |
| 365 |
lange |
760 |
to the subroutines file |
| 366 |
lange |
831 |
- source /fai/hooks/subroutines if file exists; here you can define |
| 367 |
lange |
1394 |
your own subroutines or redefine FAIs subroutines |
| 368 |
lange |
760 |
- most tasks are now executed via task() and the name of the task |
| 369 |
|
|
as option. This subroutine looks for a hook with the given name |
| 370 |
lange |
831 |
and executes it. Hooks can skip the default task of FAI (called |
| 371 |
lange |
836 |
task_<name>) by using skiptask(). So, hooks can replace the |
| 372 |
|
|
default behavior, and not only add functions to the |
| 373 |
lange |
831 |
installation process |
| 374 |
|
|
- hooks can define classes by writing class names to |
| 375 |
|
|
/tmp/additional-classes and variable by writing line to |
| 376 |
|
|
/tmp/additional.var |
| 377 |
lange |
769 |
- new hooks/tasks added |
| 378 |
lange |
831 |
- classes and variables are now defined in the very beginning |
| 379 |
|
|
before task_action is called and $FAI_ACTION is evaluated |
| 380 |
lange |
760 |
- FAI_ACTION can be any user defined value. FAI is looking for a |
| 381 |
|
|
command in /fai/hooks/$FAI_ACTION and executes it. |
| 382 |
|
|
- log file prepare-apt.log renamed to updatebase.log |
| 383 |
|
|
- debian-non-US in local mirror script (mkdebmirror) has new location |
| 384 |
|
|
- new type "PACKAGE taskinst" in package_config can install new |
| 385 |
|
|
task packages (for Debian 3.0 and later releases) |
| 386 |
lange |
766 |
- get_bootp_inf() and get_dhcp_info() support multiple ethernet |
| 387 |
|
|
devices via $netdevices |
| 388 |

831 |
- $netdevices can be set or automaticly determined to the list of |
| 389 |
|
|
ethernet devices |
| 390 |
lange |
766 |
- make-fai-bootfloppy: handle symlinks of lilo 21.5 and newer |
| 391 |
lange |
831 |

- new flag createvt; add this to FAI_FLAGS to get two additional |
| 407 |
|
|
terminals and ctrl-c will interrupt the installation |
| 408 |
|
|
process. Otherwise ctrl-c will reboot and no terminals are |
| 409 |
|
|
available. In the past, this function was enabled by default. |
| 410 |
lange |
722 |
Add createvt to FAI_FLAGS to get the old behavior. |
| 411 |
|
|
- before any classes are defined using the scripts in /fai/class, |
| 412 |
|
|
the classes DEFAULT, $HOSTNAME and LAST are defined |
| 413 |
lange |
723 |
