[Bug 821375] New: Installation DVD ISO provided as NFS source will not be mounted
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=821375 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=821375#c0 Summary: Installation DVD ISO provided as NFS source will not be mounted Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.3 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 12.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: armin.herbert@atrics.com QAContact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:20.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/20.0 System was booted using a DVD or USB stick. In the bootloader, I choose the language and provide an NFS source with my NFS servers' FQDN and the path on the NFS server to openSUSE-12.3-DVD-x86_64.iso. In previous versions, the installation procedure mounted the path from the NFS server and then loopback-mounted the ISO to provide the installation source. This does not work anymore. Here is the relevant output from tty4: [mounting the DVD, checking for updates] repository: looking for nfs://nfsserver.example.com/shared/software/openSUSE-12.3-DVD-x86_64.iso rescanning devices url mount: trying nfs://nfsserver.example.com/shared/software/openSUSE-12.3-DVD-x86_64.iso?device=eth0 (Intel Ethernet controller) interface setup: eth0 sending DHCP request to eth0... ok. eth0 activated hostip: 192.168.9.20 gateway: 192.168.9.1 nameserver 0: 192.168.9.1 nameserver 1: 192.168.9.2 dns: nfsserver.example.com is 192.168.9.40 mount.nfs: mount point /var/adm/mount is not a directory nfs: /shared/software/openSUSE-12.3-DVD-x86_64.iso -> /var/adm/mount (32) url mount: nfs://nfsserver.example.com/shared/software/openSUSE-12.3-DVD-x86_64.iso?device=eth0 failed [now it trys falling back to wlan0, of course with the same result] Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.

I have tried to find the issue but not managed to do so. I have noticed that when you try to mount an iso via NFS (done in error) you get the error: (mountpoint) is not a directory. This makes sense as you normally expect to mount directories not files. That same error is also found above during the installation. Is that related ? Since a week I tried 13_1 build 466 with the same results. The same autoyast process but with 12.1 or 12.2 has no issues with my setup. Also the permissions/user access on the directories and iso's are the same. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I am aware that asking for a new DVD release because of this bug would be unreasonable, but I would greatly appreciate it if you could ensure that this feature will be back again in 13.1. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Please append '?type=file' to the install url (or to the file path if you use F4). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The repository is now found and the installation continues. install=nfs://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/data/openSUSE/openSUSE-12_3-DVD-x86_64.iso?type=file As mentioned I found this issue also in 13_1 build 466. The change also gave me a positive result on that version.
