Description Alexander Todorov 2010-01-27 12:31:59 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #432603 +++

--- Additional comment from tao on 2008-07-18 14:34:03 EEST ---

I confirmed that I could identify the nfs option with
method=nfs:tcp:nfsserver.example.com:/rhel5/trees.

---

command-line.txt file in anaconda sources doesn't document the existence of nfs mount options for the method command line parameter. It documents those only for the ks parameter.

How to reproduce:
$ grep nfs /usr/share/doc/anaconda-11.1.2.195/command-line.txt 
ks=nfs(:options):<path>   Kickstart from NFS.  NFS mount options are optional.
method=nfs:<path> Use <path> for an NFS installation.


Please document the options syntax. NFS mount options support was added with bug #432603

Fixed by 8e3c69bf1fcf269845ec00d588c673336f6dd6cd, anaconda-11.1.2.210-1.

Comment 7 Alexander Todorov 2010-10-01 13:53:13 UTC

anaconda-11.1.2.216-1

$ grep nfs /usr/share/doc/anaconda-11.1.2.216/command-line.txt 
ks=nfs(:options):<path>   Kickstart from NFS.  NFS mount options are optional.
method=nfs(:options):<path> Use <path> for an NFS installation. NFS mount 

The file reads:
method=nfs(:options):<path> Use <path> for an NFS installation. NFS mount 
                options are optional.

Moving to VERIFIED.
