Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 496406
Anaconda barfs on bind mount in fstab
Last modified: 2009-07-17 12:20:47 EDT
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #494992 +++ Anaconda is harfing on a bind mount now. See bz #494992 for traceback.
This should work correctly as of anaconda-11.5.0.48-1. Actually, the change I made there may have introduced a different bug which will be cleared up in anaconda-11.5.0.49-1, which has not yet been built.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle. Changing version to '11'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Anaconda decided to attach its traceback to this bug. My problem was caused not by a bind mount fstab entry, but by a davfs2 entry like this one (details changed, but syntactically the same): https://server.example.com:1234/share/ /mnt/share davfs noauto,user 0 0 I was upgrading from F10 to F11, via preupgrade.

Following an attempt to upgrade from Fedora 10 to Fedora 11 with preupgrade I saw an anaconda crash (See Commend #6) due to the following lines in my /etc/fstab [...] # Begining of the block added by the VMware software .host:/ /mnt/hgfs vmhgfs defaults,ttl=5 0 0 # End of the block added by the VMware software
Same issue for me, just had to comment the .host:/ line in /etc/fstab and all was OK

The same commit should fix the failure with the davfs line as well.

Note that I stripped my fstab bare and had no further problems pre-upgrading to F11 some time ago. So I won't be doing any further testing of this bug. If you believe that it is fixed, feel free to close the bug.
This bug should be completely resolved in anaconda-12.0-1. Please reopen if you find the issue persists.
