Description Wade Mealing 2007-12-18 01:20:07 UTC

Description of problem:

This may not be in the correct product, so please move it if it is not.

When attempting to mount nfs shares from the %post section of anaconda, mounting
fails as it requires the locking daemon to be running to be able to mount shares.

There is work around to use the "mount -o nolock,udp" command, although 
this was not previously required in RHEL 2.1 - 4.  Customer considers this
change in behavior a regression.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

anaconda-11.1.2.87-1

How reproducible:

Every time.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create custom kickstart, use install method HTTP
2. In %post section, mount something via nfs
3. Kickstart system
  
Actual results:

System stops, and wont mount nfs in kickstart, things go wobbly.

Expected results:

Mount remote nfs server.

Additional info:

Worked in 2.1,3 & 4.  Seems like the defaults for NFS now default to locking.

This requires a 5.3 release note once they open up. Here is the text: 

The NFS default for RHEL5 is "locking". Therefore, to mount nfs shares from the
%post section of anaconda, use the "mount -o nolock,udp" command to 
start the locking daemon before using nfs to mount shares.
