Maybe - during the time you ask for "cat /tmp/drivetype" - the tmp is not in
the state you expect it to be.
As a debugging option, I would suggest you :
- setup logging during post to another Linux box
- before you do "cat /tmp/drivetype", do:
df -l | logger
ls /tmp | logger
plz let me know how it goes..

Subject: Cat command in the %post
Date: Wed, 22 Oct 2003 15:41:10 -0500
Hello All,
I am working with RedHat 9.0. In my %pre section I determine the type of
hard drives and create a file containing the drive type as shown below:
echo "ide" > /tmp/drivetype
In my %post section I try to read the info from that file into a variable:
%post
driveType=`cat /tmp/drivetype`
I receive the following error message during the %post: cat:
/tmp/drivetype: No such file or directory
If I go to the alt-F2 window, I see the file and can do a 'cat' on it.
What is going on?
Thanks!
