Re: Trouble mounting NFS shares in %post script of a kickstart FC6 install

Just in case anyone is wondering...

It turns out that somewhere along the way during a kickstart install for FC6, the portmap program is killed, so by the time the install gets to the %post script, NFS mounts can't happen.  I found this out by looking at the F4 terminal messages that indicated that the mount operation was trying to contact the portmapper on localhost.

Hello:

I'm having some difficulty with something I've done successfully with FC3 and CentOS 4, but seems to be barfing with FC6.  I use kickstart installs to setup my office workstations, and I've successfully used %post scripts to mount NFS shares and install software from them.  For some reason, it's not working with FC6 kickstart installs.  There is no firewall issue on the NFS server (a machine running CentOS 4.4).  The really strange part is that after the install, I can mount the very same NFS share just fine, but during the kickstart install's %post script the NFS mount fails with a "mount.nfs: Input/output error".  I've fiddled with NFS mount options in my script, but so far I'm not getting any success.  The only other clue I have is that on the NFS server, there are log entries for the failure to mount:

Mar 23 11:11:37 NFS_server mountd[3219]: authenticated mount request from NFS_client:993 for /space0/export/nfs/FC6/addons (/space0/export/nfs/FC6)

(computer names changed to protect the innocent)

I would be grateful if someone could clue me in as to what's going on.  Thanks in advance for your help.
