Currently, this is the default value while running make-fai-nfsroot
only. In case, we're running from a FAI-CD, the default value is
file://$FAI. All other cases do not provide a default value.
I'm not sure about the best default in those cases, but in case of a
softupdate I don't think that nfs://`hostname`/$FAI_CONFIGDIR would make
a lot of sense as `hostname` would return the hostname of the client.

In the current version, the following code is executed:
In lib/get-config-dir:
if [ -z "$FAI_CONFIG_SRC" ]; then
sendmon "TASKERROR get_fai_dir 21"
echo "Error: Provide the URL to obtain the fai config storage in
\$FAI_CONFIG_SRC"
exit 21
fi
... which is then caught in lib/subroutines-linux:
get-config-dir || {
echo "Problems accessing the config space."
die ""
}
As FAI_ACTION does not equal "install" in that case, die() should simply
exit. I don't see where fai would hang.
Cheers,
Sebastian
