Description dbelliz 1999-12-27 22:48:06 UTC
Why is it I am not able to access previouly mounted file systems (local and
nfs) during the %post phase of a kick start installation?
The 2nd virtual terminal's bash prompt (alt + F2) has access to these file
systems during the entire install. Any reference to /mnt/source and
/mnt/sysimage fail during the %post phase but work great in the 2nd virtual
terminal. What is required for me to access these file systems?

Comment 1 Riley H Williams 1999-12-28 18:39:59 UTC
Does the %post phase have the same root directory or has a chroot occurred?

Comment 3 dbelliz 1999-12-28 19:13:59 UTC
If a chroot has occurred It has happened unbeknownst to me. Here is my ks.cfg

Comment 4 Matt Domsch 2000-01-27 22:08:59 UTC
%post happens in a chrooted environment, chroot /mnt/sysimage I believe.  Your
system is now found at /.

If you need a non-chrooted environment for %post (but be careful!), use
%post --nochroot

Thank You,
My instructor Dax has also set me straight on this. It would be nice if this was
in the docs though.

Comment 6 Jay Turner 2000-02-10 02:59:59 UTC
The kickstart process will actually be documented quite well in the next
release, so look forward to that.
