fai-make-nfsroot − create the FAI nfsroot directory
fai-make-nfsroot [options]
Create the FAI nfsroot directory as pointed by $NFSROOT in the config_file. This directory is necessary for the installation of Debian on remote clients using the FAI package. The config_file location is discussed in the OPTIONS below.
The exit code returned is 0 if all commands to build the root directory exited successfully and >0 if an error occurs.
|
−a |
Adjust a generic nfsroot. Add resolv.conf, add host entries, set the root password. |
−B BASETGZ
Use specified BASETGZ file as base.tgz (or base.tar.gz, base.tar.xz, base.txz) for the nfsroot. This avoids calling debootstrap and therefore reduces the buildtime for the nfsroot.
−C CFDIR
Use CFDIR as configuration directory. Default is /etc/fai. You can also set the environment variable FAI_ETC_DIR.
|
−f |
Force overwriting an existing nfsroot. By default fai-make-nfsroot aborts if the configuration variable NFSROOT points to a directory which already exists. To force overwriting (and therefore rebuilding) the existing nfsroot use this option. This option is supported starting with FAI 4.0. Note: To update and therefore preserve an existing nfsroot see option −k. | ||
|
−g |
Create a generic nfsroot. Remove most install server specific data from nfsroot. See also -a. | ||
|
−K |
Remove all kernels from NFSROOT. This is the same as calling aptitude purge ~nlinux-image inside the nfsroot. | ||
|
−k |
Install additional packages defined in /etc/fai/NFSROOT into the nfsroot. Also copies all kernels from the nfsroot to the directory $TFTPROOT. | ||
|
−l |
Create a nfsroot using live/filesystem.dir subdirectory. This is needed if the initrd of the kernel is created by the live-boot package. | ||
|
−p |
Preserve ssh keys. This will preserve the whole .ssh directory of the root account inside the nfsroot. | ||
|
−v |
Create verbose output on stdout. | ||
|
−h |
Show simple help. |
If you do not use NFS, you may still use the NFSROOT directory as a staging point for building the base installation tarball.
