redhat 8.0 I've done a ton of digging and a bunch of fiddling but I can't figure out why issuing an nfs mount in the %post section takes about 5 minutes to return. (the mount does work) I was able to get it to return normally but I had to do the following: * get to the shell in <alt>f2, chroot to /mnt/sysimage * run /etc/init.d/network start this kills the ip on eth0 * manually set the ip on eth0 * manually reset the routes * start portmapper * start nfs Shouldn't this work better than it does? Is there anyway around this? I think I'm probabbly missing something dumb but I can't for the life of me figure out what it is.
It is trying to get a lock. Try mount -o nolock,wsize=8192,rsize=8192 server:/dir
The -o nolock option should keep it from trying to lock it, causing a 10-20 minute timeout.
