The patch in the following Bugzilla adds nfsmountopts flag to Anaconda. This is parsed by loader and used in the doPwMount function when the NFS client mounts /mnt/source. This is needed to override the kickstart kernel defaults in RHEL 4 of rsize=32768,wsize=32768,udp. If tcp was being used, the large rsize,wsize would not be a problem. With udp, however, large rsize,wsize is causing longer installation times due to retransmissions. Please consider this patch for U2 GA or a future RHEL 4 update. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=168384 IT 79818 Thank you. /Brian/ -- Brian Long | | | IT Data Center Systems | .|||. .|||.
