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?
Does the %post phase have the same root directory or has a chroot occurred?
Created attachment 47 [details] Kickstart config file
If a chroot has occurred It has happened unbeknownst to me. Here is my ks.cfg
%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.
The kickstart process will actually be documented quite well in the next release, so look forward to that.
