Traceback from nfs install
Last modified: 2013-01-09 22:18:13 EST
After formatting the filesystem, this traceback is seen. Install method was nfs, using netinst.iso anaconda 11.4.0.47 exception report Traceback (most recent call first): File "/usr/lib/anaconda/isys.py", line 337, in mount rc = _isys.mount(fstype, device, location, flags) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/yuminstall.py", line 460, in doConfigSetup isys.mount(self.anaconda.methodstr[4:], self.tree, "nfs") File "/usr/lib/anaconda/yuminstall.py", line 301, in __init__ self.doConfigSetup(root=anaconda.rootPath) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/yuminstall.py", line 842, in doInitialSetup self.ayum = AnacondaYum(anaconda) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/backend.py", line 192, in doRepoSetup anaconda.backend.doInitialSetup(anaconda) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 208, in moveStep rc = stepFunc(self.anaconda) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 131, in gotoNext self.moveStep() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 701, in run anaconda.dispatch.gotoNext() File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 1073, in <module> anaconda.intf.run(anaconda) SystemError: mount failed Attaching the dump.
Created attachment 297091 [details] anaconda dump
From debug: p fstype, device, location, flags ('nfs', '/mnt/source', '/mnt/source', None) up p self.tree '/mnt/source' p methodstr 'file:///mnt/source' p self.anaconda.methodstr 'nfs:/mnt/source' So it's trying to mount /mnt/source, onto itself. Yeah that's probably not going to work (: Happens with NFS ISO too.
This happens both using the UI to define an install method as well as using method= from the boot cli.
This should be fixed in the next build of anaconda.
Confirmed.
