I have problem when installing a system through fai.
On the client system hard disk is partitioned successfully.
But problem with mount, it says
mount: unknown filesystem type 'reiserfs'


Can any body help me on this.

some par of log file fai.log is down there


after this it installed package then gives error
'No space left on device'. and ask for reboot.

Need help thanks in advance......

Is reiserfs compiled into your kernel ?
If not, where did you load the module for it, it's not loaded by default on Debian..

I don't think this is a networking issue.. it looks like you need to modify something in your fai config so the system loads the reiserfs module, so it can then mount the partitions.

Yup ! you are right modules are not loaded but i dont know how to load them.
thnx for reply

The scripts 20-hwdetect.source loads kernel modules on demand. The complete description of all these scripts can be found in Scripts in /fai/scripts, Section 7.9. http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/f...tml#s-cscripts
