Same happens on when trying to NFS-mount from NetApp (Ontap 5.3.4R2) - mounts from Linux NFS-server does work though. This is by the way present in Rawhide too, though the details differ. Here's the copy of my post to pinstripe-list to which nobody had anything to say :) --------- Date: Mon, 11 Sep 2000 14:27:05 +0300 (EEST) From: "Matilainen Panu (NRC/Helsinki)" <panu.matilainen> To: pinstripe-list Subject: NFS installation from NetApp filers fails on pinstripe Hi, Found a rather nasty (for me at least) issue with pinstripe + current rawhide installer: it can't NFS-mount from NetApp filers at all though installing from Linux NFS-server does work. RH6.2 has no problems with this (install tree is world mountable as read only) at all so it's not a problem with permissions/NetApp configuration. Pinstripe installer would seem to get the proper information from DHCP-server but both kickstart and manual installation over NFS fail from NetApp. If I install from a Linux NFS-server it works just fine and then if I try manually mounting from the shell: #mkdir /tmp/foo #mount netapp:/xxx/yyy/path/to/rh/image /tmp/foo mount failed - invalid argument #mount linux:/xxx/yyy/path/to/rh/image /tmp/foo ..no problemo The same happens both with a static IP and when using DHCP. Rawhide (Aug 11) bootnet.img is a bit of a different story: DHCP only gets an IP-address, netmask and default-gw, but no nameserver nor kickstart-information (it just seems to dismiss them) and will then ask for nameserver IP. But... this time it can't install from either Netapp or Linux-NFS server :( If I give it a static IP then install works from Linux NFS but still not from NetApp .. --------- BTW mounting is ok once the system is up and running - this is just during the install. The bug is present also on official RH7. Bad... Not only related but exactly the same problem. There also is a working fix posted by tek.edu at bug 17609. |
