I believe you have to pass some special networking flags to make NFS work in virt installs, though I do not remember them offhand nor am I able to find a reference quickly enough. This issue has been proposed when we are only considering blocker issues in the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. ** If you would still like this issue considered for the current release, ask your support representative to file as a blocker on your behalf. Otherwise ask that it be considered for the next Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. ** I found there is a --opts= for passing the arguments wondering what I need to pass 'ro' did not do it
nfs — Install from the NFS server specified.
*
--server=
Server from which to install (hostname or IP).
*
--dir=
Directory containing the variant directory of the installation tree.
*
--opts=
Mount options to use for mounting the NFS export. (optional)

I noticed errors on virtual console 4 providing in case they mean something.
I have not been able to get an nfs install to started so far trying various options found by looking at nfs mounted filesystems on other servers. So if you have any thoughts I would welcome them.
I see you are using the 'default' virtual network. This is a NAT based setup. As part of fixing a recent CVE we added extra NAT rules to ensure that all guest IP connections get re-written to have a source port > 1024. If your NFS server has a restrictive policy with the 'secure' flag set against the NFS volume, guests will not be able to access it. In such a case use the 'insecure' flag for the NFS volume, so that it allows access from source ports > 1024. Thank you for your bug report. This issue was evaluated for inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Unfortunately, we are unable to address this request in the current release. Because we are in the final stage of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 development, only significant, release-blocking issues involving serious regressions and data corruption can be considered. If you believe this issue meets the release blocking criteria as defined and communicated to you by your Red Hat Support representative, please ask your representative to file this issue as a blocker for the current release. Otherwise, ask that it be evaluated for inclusion in the next minor release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Closing as a dup of the libvirt security bug *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 602455 *** |
