Unable to use nfs in %post

[Rodrick Brown]

Everything works like a charm when using vty 2 and issuing the command
manually however I'm still not able to get it working from my Kickstart
profile 

 

Here is the %post section from my profile.ks

Hi,

 

 

You might want to put a very long sleep after the commands and either
look at what happened from the command line (vty 2) or in your %post
just put a practically infinite sleep, jump to vty 2, chroot
/mnt/sysimage and run the commands by hand to see what it bombs on. Good
luck :)

I'm unable to get the following lines to work in my Kickstart profile
I'm not sure what I could be doing

Here is my configuration:

 

%post

# run custom scripts

mkdir /a

/bin/mount -t nfs 192.168.149.211:/mount/unix /a

sleep 3

[[ -f /a/scripts/motd.pl ]] && /usr/bin/perl /a/scripts/motd.pl >
/etc/motd

 

# needed to connect to AD domain

(cd /etc; tar xvf /a/packages/ldap_krbsettings.tar)
