compressed
Specifies if the image file on the TFTP server is compressed and handles
it accordingly. To specify a compressed image download only the key-
word "'compressed"' needs to be added. If compressed is not specified
the standard download workflow is used. Note: The download will fail
if you specify "'compressed"' and the image isn't compressed. It will also
fail if you don't specify "'compressed"' but the image is compressed. The
name of the compressed image has to contain the suffix .gz and needs
to be compressed with the gzip tool.
SYNC
Contains the name of a file (syncfilename) downloaded via TFTP whose
contents indicate the number of seconds of waiting time before the reg-
ister image is downloaded.
CONF
Specifies a comma-separated list of source:target configuration files. The
source (src) corresponds to the path on the TFTP server and is loaded
via TFTP. The download is made to the file on the register indicated by
the target (dest).
PART
Specifies the partitioning data. The comma-separated list must contain
the size (size), the type number (id), and the mount point (Mount).
– The first element of the list must define the swap partition.
– The second element of the list must define the root partition.
– The swap partition must not contain a mount point. A lowercase
letter x must be set instead.
– If a partition should take all the space left on a disk one can set a
lower x letter as size specification.
JOURNAL
Specifies a journal to be added to the filesystem. The value for this
parameter must be set to ext3 because the only journaled filesystem we
are using is ext3. the JOURNAL parameter will be evaluated only if DISK
has been set as well.
DISK
Specifies the hard disk. Used only with PART and defines the device via
which the hard disk can be addressed, e.g., /dev/hda.
RELOAD_IMAGE
If set to a non-empty string, forces the configured image to be loaded
from the server even if the image on the disk is up-to-date. Used mainly
for debugging purposes, this option only makes sense on diskful systems.
Using posldap2crconfig.pl will overwrite this optional feature of the
CR configuration file.
