Description of problem: I have mount commands that are attempting to mount read/write file systems during the %pre and %post phases of Linux installation. When the instaler gets to these commands, a message saying the "the File system is Read Only" is printed. I tried tp mount it manyally with the -rw options to mount, but it did not work. The same commands work fine froma a RHEL4 installation, so I know the NFS mountse are OK. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: 1) Add a mount command that mounts an NFS share read/write in the %pre or %post sections of a kickstart file Add a command that echo text to a file on the mounted share 2) Start the installation Actual results: A message saying the mounted file system is Readonly is displayed Expected results: The file should be created with the echoed text. Additional info:
The title is a little misleading. It should say write to NFS shared not allowwed in %pre/%post kickstart sections.
What does your kickstart file look like?
Created attachment 147494 [details] This is the kickstart file.
Solved. Turns out one of the mounts did not have the -o nolock
Closing as NOTABUG on the basis of comment #4. If you still continue to see problems even after adding -o nolock, please feel free to reopen this bug report.
