I have found the reason for "mount: only root can do that (effective UID is -2)", The nfs server is NFSv4-powered, NFSv4 has a concept of a root of the overall exported file system. The export point exported with fsid=0 is used as this root. If we didn't specify "fsid=0" in the /etc/exports file, when it is mounted by the NFS client, all the owner of the overall exported file system will become "nfsnobody:nfsnobody". Because of this, the owner of "/bin/mount" is changed to "nfsnobody:nfsnobody" from "root:root". when "mount" is called, the warning message is shown.
For RHEL6 you want at least dracut-004-18 to get NFS4 working. dracut-005-3 in Fedora 13 should work as well. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe initramfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
