How can I reset the MTU of a network interface before Kickstart engages in network activity (e.g. sending a DHCP request, mounting NFS filesystems, et cetera)? The "%pre" section of the ks.cfg file is obviously too late. Do I need to hack the loader/anaconda source to do this? (For the curious: our Beowulf cluster uses SysKonnect SK-9821 gigabit ethernet cards, and increasing the MTU from the default 1500 to the maximum 9000 dramatically improves communication performance. The master node that acts as the DHCP, DNS, and NFS server cannot have the MTU associated with its gigabit card decreased to 1500 for the installation of slave nodes, because that causes NFS synchronization errors with the rest of the nodes.) -- Kevin DeGraaf Supercomputer Administrator Calvin College Office: (616) 957-8692
