NFS bug study
All debian used are fresh install of wheezy 7.8.
All alpine used are fresh install of edge. (will also try vanilla kernel in KVM)
All boxes are supermicro servers with bi-Xeon running AL from USB key.
I do not have physical access to the boxes!
The NFS-servers are configured to export
/srv/home 192.168.1.0/24(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)
The nfs-clients are configured to mount from fstab
storage:/srv/home /home nfs noauto,defaults,noexec 0 0
"storage" is defined in /etc/hosts to point to the right server.
The test is done with
mount /home
We will compare the dmesg outputs, the ls -ld /home outputs, the cat /home/test and touch /home/toto ones. /home/test is prepared on the server (just a text file containing "do you see me?"). Those tests are run as root user.
Will redo usage tests with non root user because of the default squashroot of NFS...

touch /home/toto (even after adding rw to the mount options in fstab)
touch: cannot touch `/home/toto': Permission denied
Some pointers to investigate this permission problem:
To begin using machine as an NFS client, you will need the portmapper running on that machine, and to use NFS file locking, you will also need rpc.statd and rpc.lockd running on both the client and the server.

How to automate KVM creation
The goal is not only to have a working install but to have it at the after setup-alpine stage without human intervention... Tis is the first stages of a work in progress...
I want to pass a Block Device and a name as parameters. The block device could be an image file, a LV, a NBD, a hdd, a raid array, whatever.
Everything else should be fully automatic according to some config file (stating the http-proxy, the time server, the log server, ...).
The I will just run the script, watch my dhcp logs to discover the new IP assigned (that's why the name is a parameter), then log in with ssh without password to customize it further but at high level only (will be a robot and not me in fact).
I guess it would be something like emulate boot from usb key with specific overlay already on key...
then run setup-disk with proper parameters on the command line to avoid the interactive process (like setup-alpine does)...
Methink this could be done from a couple of scripts put in /etc/local.d/. The last.stop one deleting all of them to be clean at next reboot.
Let's start easy ;)
How to prepare a img file to emulate an USB key
first a working example done in console (accessed trough ssh).
Will build a script from it...
