When giving the following kernel argument in menu.lst for PXE grub they get applied to the nfs mount to fetch the squashfs images, however the later mount for yast to install rpms from NFS server ignores these and takes default options. Is there another way to control this? Some other way to provide nfs options to the install?
nfsopts=tcp,vers=3,rsize=32768,wsize=32768
Default behaviour seems to use very large [r|w]size and udp leading to poor performance and occasional timeout.
I'm afraid there is no easy way to achieve that. Maybe you can do a "remount" in a pre-script but I did not try that. Another idea that comes to my mind is, that zypp should reuse the mountpoint if it's already mounted. So mounting it before yast starts might help but I did not try it either and it's not so easy to do anyway. The only way for that is to use the exec=... parameter for linuxrc and/or putting a mount script into the initrd. Not so nice. First thing I'd try to use is a remount-prescript in the XML file and if that does not work, install via http or ftp ;) -- ciao, Uwe Gansert SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer Home: http://www.suse.de/~ug - Blog: http://suse.gansert.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+owner@opensuse.org
