[docs] commandline nfs mount options in RHEL5 not documented
Last modified: 2014-09-30 19:38:35 EDT
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #432603 +++ --- Additional comment from tao@redhat.com on 2008-07-18 14:34:03 EEST --- I confirmed that I could identify the nfs option with method=nfs:tcp:nfsserver.example.com:/rhel5/trees. --- command-line.txt file in anaconda sources doesn't document the existence of nfs mount options for the method command line parameter. It documents those only for the ks parameter. How to reproduce: $ grep nfs /usr/share/doc/anaconda-11.1.2.195/command-line.txt ks=nfs(:options):<path> Kickstart from NFS. NFS mount options are optional. method=nfs:<path> Use <path> for an NFS installation. Please document the options syntax. NFS mount options support was added with bug #432603

anaconda-11.1.2.216-1 $ grep nfs /usr/share/doc/anaconda-11.1.2.216/command-line.txt ks=nfs(:options):<path> Kickstart from NFS. NFS mount options are optional. method=nfs(:options):<path> Use <path> for an NFS installation. NFS mount The file reads: method=nfs(:options):<path> Use <path> for an NFS installation. NFS mount options are optional. Moving to VERIFIED.
Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: * Previously, the ks=nfs and method=nfs boot options were not documented in the command-line.txt file. Users had to consult documentation outside anaconda itself to learn how to use these boot options. In this release, the ks=nfs and method=nfs boot options are documented, reducing the requirement for users to resort to other documentation to use these boot options. (#559200)
