RE: Mounting NFS during Kickstart as RW

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Put something in %post to have the system sit idle and then go to the
ALT-F2 console and make it work.  Take those commands, and put them in
your kickstart file.

I use sleep 9999999999 but others have used much more elegant solutions.
Any way you do it, this allows you to test out exactly what you need to
do "in situ" so that you don't have to keep kickstarting and trying
things that you don't know whether or not they are working.

What is the problem you are trying to fix? Why do you want the logs on
the server during the install?

attempting to redirect all of my standard out/error to a log file

I would think it could be done in %pre. You would need to explore the
capabilities of the mount command available to you; those may vary with
the distro and release of Linux.

I'm certain you can do it in %post, and if not, then it's possible to
have scp working with keys and no password prompts so you can copy the
(not yet absolutely complete) log files.
