Description of problem: Mounting of nfs filesystems in the %post section of kickstart fail due to portmap not running. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): FC6 release How reproducible: Consistently reproducible Steps to Reproduce: 1. mount.nfs nfsserver:/directory /mountpoint 2. 3. Actual results: Times out - unable to contact local portmap Expected results: Should mount filesystem Additional info: Using /usr/bin/mount instead of /sbin/mount.nfs works fine. Workaround is to start portmap in the %post section of the kickstart file before attempting to mount nfs directories.
You need to use -o nolock if you're using mount from within the chroot. A portmapper _isn't_ running (and won't be)
