Mounting NFS during Kickstart as RW

[Jeff Yana]

Matt-

I already found the solution/workaround. For your mount options specify version 2 instead of version 3 of NFS and then it will mount RW. Simply specifying "rw" as a mount option is not sufficient.

I do this as one of the first lines in my %pre -- so that I can write
configuration information, etc...

I used to simply mount RW on top of the old RO mount, as follows:
mount kickstartserver:/kickstartdirectory /mnt/source

...which worked fine on RHEL-3, but on 4, it ceased to work correctly.

On RHEL-4, I had to change it slighly, which is probably the more
"correct" way to do it anyway:

mount -o remount,rw kickstartserver:/kickstartdirectory /mnt/sourc

...I don't use Fedora, only RHEL, so I couldn't say if that will help you
or not...
