Operating Systems Linux Red Hat "ERROR : failed to mount nfs source" Red Hat Kickstart Post 302443195 by jaysunn on Saturday 7th of August 2010 12:24:49 PM

Hello,
I just finished setting up a kickstart PXE environment.

Are you using a cdrom || floppy for the boot portion, or PXE (Pre, Execution, Environment) to start your install ?


Things to check. Are you able to mount the export share that you are exporting out via NFS on another system?

What is the contents of:

Code:
/etc/exports

Here is what mine looks like:

Code:
[root@kickstart ~]# cat /etc/exports 
/export *(rw,sync)

Also have you recycled the NFS service on the server that is exporting out the installation tree and kickstart file?

Run:
Code:
[root@kickstart ~]# exportfs 
/export       	<world>

To confirm the share is exported.
