what nfs-utils version are you using?? client: 1.2.0-16.fc12 server: 1.2.0-5.fc11 *** Bug 528653 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** for the benefit of others: debugged this in irc with steve yesterday. This is happening because nfs-utils tries an nfsv4 mount, which fails, and it isn't falling back to an nfsv3/v2 mount. workaround: on the server, edit /etc/sysconfig/nfs, and uncomment the line that reads RPCNFSDARGS="-N 4" restart the nfs service, and it should work. *** Bug 527257 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Adding CommonBugs keyword Created attachment 364646 [details]
Proposed Patch
I've just proposed this upstream and will keep you updated
on its progress... but I would suggest we think incorporating this
one line fix sooner verses later since it does indeed stop the
client from hanging when rpcbind is not running (like with all
nfs installs).
Book it Danno! The patch just got the thumbs up from the maintainer... http://linux-nfs.org/pipermail/nfsv4/2009-October/011420.html Running into this bug. Setting the mount option on the live server is going to be ... tricky. Any other workaround or will I have to wait for the fix (which I presume is going to go into rawhide kernel before F12 GA ?) > workaround: ... from comment #4. Indeed it worksforme but these are current rawhide images with anaconda 11.38 and this workaround is still required. Before I stumbled into this one I found bug 529462 (is this is a duplicate?) and added https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=529462#c6 and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=529462#c7 there. That describes what I can collect on different screens. What shows up is not that helpful, I am afraid. I wonder what else will go haywire instead. A server used in these experiments provides installation over PXE for various distros. Just yesterday I was using it for CentOS 5.4 installation and no edits in /etc/sysconfig/nfs were needed. michal: i believe it's expected still to be broken, as the patch hasn't gone into current rawhide yet. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers Michal: I see exactly the same messages as you described in bug 529462 comment 6. Because I can't easily edit the NFS options on the live server, another workaround I found is to patch anaconda to honor NFS options, for progress on that see bug 529197. Note that I haven't yet done a successfull install using that patch but it at least avoids the loader waiting for an unsuccesfull NFSv4 mount. *** Bug 526494 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Looks like this went into a Koji kernel already: * Tue Oct 13 2009 Steve Dickson <steved> 2.6.31.4-81 - Fixed hang during NFS installs (bz 528537) but we haven't had a kernel build tagged in for a while, rawhide is still on 56, the kernel that was shipped in the beta. we're going to need a new kernel build tagged into rawhide soon, for this and other issues - the sooner the better, for testing purposes. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers Adding additional repositories on NFS is also broken, I believe. A new kernel is available in rawhide that contains this fix. kernel-2.6.31.5-96.fc12 includes the patch noted by steved in comment#8. * Tue Oct 13 2009 Steve Dickson <steved> 2.6.31.4-81 - Fixed hang during NFS installs (bz 528537) (In reply to comment #15) > Adding additional repositories on NFS is also broken, I believe. Hey David, there are a few hiccups around the yum repo dialogs in the installer. We've got a few pinpointed, but I suspect others remain. I don't have the bugs handy atm, but a few were resolved already around nfs repo's. Can you file a new bug for any anaconda UI issues while editing repos? The new kernel fixed this problem for me. Dave, can you confirm so we can close this? -96 was tagged into F12 already, so we have a new enough build to include the fix. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers Ping - Dave, this is on the f12 blocker list and we're coming down to the release wire so it'd be great if you could confirm ASAP. Thanks! -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers I tried a setup with anaconda version 12.41 and image files from 2009-10-30 rawhide. At least initial installation stages did not require a workaround from a comment $4. Anaconda was using NFSv3 without an explicit turning off v4 on a server. OTOH I did not try a kickstart file but I was loading stage2 over NFS. We really want to pare down the blocker list now. Given confirmation from two people I'm pretty confident this is fixed. Dave, please re-open if you can still reproduce a problem here...Steve, please advise if you think I'm closing this too soon. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers *** Bug 537067 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 529462 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I tested this with the F12 final release on PS3 and it seems to be fixed. -Geoff |
