894478 - Kickstart a spare seamicro in SCL3 for releng

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(mozilla.org Graveyard :: Server Operations, task)

Description

[Shyam Mani [:fox2mike]]

Let's call this github-sync4.dmz.scl3.mozilla.com, any standard spare seamicro.

Once it's online, let's puppetize with the same user/classes as the others.

This needs kind of a lot of inodes. Anything we can do to bump up from the default?

earlier bugs should have inode requirement -- see bug 802702 and bug 877922 comment 0

Comment 3

[Eric Ziegenhorn :ericz]

This is done and ready.

For future reference, there are a couple of ways out there for increasing inodes at kickstart time such as --bytes-per-inode and even running sed against /etc/mke2fs.conf, none of which work.  The only thing I could get working was making the filesystem in advance with systemrescuecd/mkfs, then telling kickstart to use it without formatting it (clearpart --none, a few --onpart's and a --noformat).
