Description of problem: The example of using an NFS server during a kickstart installation is not quite complete. Mounting an NFS share without using the "-o nolock" option causes severe performance problems during a kickstart install. I suggest adding "-o nolock" to the example in the manual - and maybe mentioning that NFS file locking isn't supported while in kickstart mode. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Joshua, After consulting with the Red Hat developer assigned to post-install scripts, you are correct! The mount binary is changed to '-o nolock' by default, but would need to be set for the custom post-install section... The fix will go live for our next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Thanks so much for filing a bug to make our products better! :-) Please do not hesitate to contact me for any futher questions or comments! :-) Andrius.
