Does using the mount option 'nolock' help? The 'nolock' mount option is generally recommended particularly when the export is /var (or /usr) as they contain files used by the NLM implementation.
Yes, using the 'nolock' mount option, we can mount the directory.
However, we want to perform an automatic installation. Is there any way to pass the options "vers=3,nolock" to the installer automatically? The options would probably have to be communicated via kernel-options?
I'm not sure whether it is possible to pass nfs options to auto installer. But as an alternative, you could try using NFSv4 itself instead of NFSv3. NFSv4 configuration is simple: - On the Server, edit /etc/exports and add "fsid=0" to the options for e.g. /Engineering 192.168.1.15(rw,sync,fsid=0) - #exportsfs -r (to re-export all dirs) - While using autoyast on the client skip mentioning the exported directory for e.g. If you had used something like: nfs://192.168.216.12/path/to/root to use NFSv4, just say: nfs://192.168.216.12 Note: * NFSv4 has a concept of a root of the overall exported filesystem. The export point exported with fsid=0 will be used as this root.
