Description of problem: When using rear to backup system, sometimes we need to work with NFS server that only supports NFSv3. We need to specify 'BACKUP_OPTIONS="nfsvers=3,nolock"' option in this situation. But if we use rear in rescue mode, this option not work. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rear-2.00-2.el7.x86_64 How reproducible: After install and configure rear, boot the system into rescue mode and run 'rear mkbackup'. Steps to Reproduce: 1. install rear and configure rear with the following configuration in /etc/rear/local.conf: === OUTPUT=ISO OUTPUT_URL=nfs://192.168.122.1/home/storage BACKUP=NETFS BACKUP_OPTIONS="nfsvers=3,nolock" BACKUP_URL=nfs://192.168.122.1/home/storage BACKUP_PROG_EXCLUDE=("${BACKUP_PROG_EXCLUDE[@]}" '/media' '/var/tmp' '/var/crash') === 2. test 'rear mkbackup' command, there is no problem # rear -v mkbackup 3. boot system into rescue mode and run 'rear mkbackup' # chroot /mnt/sysimage # ip a # nmcli con up ens32 --> configure the nic with proper ip address # mount -t nfs -o 'nfsvers=3,nolock' 192.168.122.1:/home/storage /mnt # umount /mnt # rear -v mkbackup Actual results: It failed with following error: ERROR: Mount command 'mount -v -t nfs -o rw,noatime 192.168.122.1:/home/storage /tmp/rear.UYwAxLnNr85F2kL/outputfs' failed. Aborting due to an error, check /var/log/rear/rear-localhost.log for details. Expected results: 'rear mkbackup' command can make the backup files successfully in rescue mode.
