[xcat-user] issues on imaging filename

[Egan Ford]

When imaging linux your /install/image/x86 directory should look
something like this:

-rw-------  1 root root    5999629 Oct 20 16:51 linux-sda1.gz.000
-rw-------  1 root root 2136730399 Oct 20 17:10 linux-sda2.gz.000
-rw-------  1 root root   58869431 Oct 20 17:11 linux-sda2.gz.001
-rw-r--r--  1 root root        512 Oct 20 16:51 linux-sda.mbr
-rw-r--r--  1 root root        259 Oct 20 16:51 linux-sda.sfdisk

After imaging the .000 should be removed automatically:

-rw-------  1 root root    5999629 Oct 20 16:51 linux-sda1.gz
-rw-------  1 root root 2136730399 Oct 20 17:10 linux-sda2.gz
-rw-------  1 root root   58869431 Oct 20 17:11 linux-sda2.gz.001
-rw-r--r--  1 root root        512 Oct 20 16:51 linux-sda.mbr
-rw-r--r--  1 root root        259 Oct 20 16:51 linux-sda.sfdisk

The 001, 002, etc... extensions are used when the image exceeds 2GB.

I just tested this and it works fine for me.  nodetype.tab should look
like this:

node02  image,x86,linux

image is the install type, x86 is the install arch (not the OS arch),
and linux is my image name.

In $XCATROOT/install/image/x86/base there is an example linux.tmpl
file.  Copy that to something else and use that name in nodetype.tab
and try again.
