similar to: CentOS 6 PXE boot: Unable to download the kickstart file

We have CentOS 6 manual installation working by PXE booting from a RHEL5.6 PXE/TFTP server. However, when we add a Kickstart file in the PXE configuration: kernel CentOS-6-i386/vmlinuz append load_ramdisk=1 initrd=CentOS-6-i386/initrd.img network ks=nfs:130.226.86.4:/u/rpm/kickstart/ks-centos-6-clean-i386.cfg then the CentOS 6 client install reports "Unable to download the

Hi, We are running into a problem with a Samba setup and would like to know if a current fix or workaround is at all possible. Our setup is a NetApp filer serving NFS v4 that is mounted by Solaris and Linux servers. On those servers we are using Samba to create shares of those NFSv4 mounted filesystems. We are migrating to this NFSv4 setup from an existing Solaris NFSv3+Posix ACL setup that also

Hello, I set up NFSv4 server. To make sure I set vfs.nfsd.server_min_nfsvers=4. I can check its version, for example, by tcpduming and then I can see in wireshark lines like: Network File System Program Version: 4 V4 Procedure: COMPOUND.... .... is there any easier way to check its version? I see there is nfsstat -e option which shows delegs and locks. But all other ones are combined with nfsv3

just a quick update: no issues with NFSv4.0 (load is slowly growing, currently ~7k mailboxes) instead, bad news from delegation front, we enabled it for a couple of days but we ran in ugly issues: processes went in "uninterruptible sleep" state, load average gets huge, reboot was the only escape :-( -brd Alessio Cecchi wrote: > Il 12/06/2015 13:02, brd ha scritto: > >Alessio

hi all, i'm managing a large installation of a dovecot cluster in director + NFS backend architecture and we are moving from NFSv3 to NFSv4. Our NFS server is a Netapp in clustered mode and reading technical specs of NFSv4 delegation feature it seems that enabling delegation in this type of dovecot architecture should bring great benefits: only one backend server access a specific mailbox at a

Hi, Just out of curiosity what is in nfsv4 delegation that you think would give a benefit on your configuration? If I read back the thread you seem to have dovecot configured with director ring in front of the backends. In that case Dovecot already manages storage in a way that only one of the backends is accessing each users data at a time. So I can?t see anything but problems form enabling

Hi everybody and thanks to those persons who make klibc being possible. I am booting a lessdisks system from a server. I have got it in NFSv3 but I would like use the features of NFSv4. I am using initramfs-tools so I have in my initrd.img the utility nfsmount wich make possible booting in NFSv3. I would like know if exists some version of nfsmount or some patch or, if does not, some program (a

I have a situation where I need to share, via Samba, a filesystem mounted via NFSv4. I'm struggling with the best way to make Samba see the NFSv4 ACLs and enumerate them to provide the proper SMB/CIFS access to the files, instead of "Access Denied" errors that I currently get. Looking at the Samba source, the only obvious NFSv4 stuff appears to be the following: - zfsacl, available

We recently had a strange NFS performance anomaly between a V880 running snv_124 and two NetApp filers. To investigate, a DTrace NFSv4 (and eventually NFSv3) client provider would been extremely helpful. Unfortunately, all I could find were a request for code review of a v3 client provider and another request for help developing a v4 provider. Nothing seems to have come from those initiatives,

I know this was discussed a lot a few years ago, but my google searches aren't quite getting me where I'm confident in the answer, so I figure I'd just ask again here if that's ok. Here's what we have, and what we'd like to do: Storage is a Netapp (cluster mode CDOT 8.2 I believe), it's NFS exported to our linux system. Linux system is CentOS 6 and can NFS mount the

Thank you for that, i did have a good look at that one. And i use Debian 9, if you test what i posted below in the thread, you will see NFSv4 works fine. Below is missing one more thing, the "allow to delegate (kerberos only) " on the computer object in the AD, should be enabled. And yes, i've see bugchecks also but only on my debian .. Lenny.. Stt.. ;-) .. Its my last lenny

I am still having issues with new message count. When I move a message to another folder, it counts that message as new until you go into that folder. Is there a way I can solve this? Could it have something to do with NFS? I have tried all the NF workarounds with no luck... I have also tried NFSv3 and NFSv4, no difference. I store the indexes on the local drive...

Hi, What is the magic juju that I have to put in /etc/sysconfig/autofs to get autofs to default to using NFSv4, rather than NFSv3, for mounting file systems? I don't want to place these flags into the automount maps themselves because we have a varied network with Sun, CentOS, RedHat and Macintosh systems, and the flags that have to get added to automount maps (which we distribute centrally

I was used to integrate some linux client in my samba network mounting homes with 'unix extensions = yes', and works as expected, at least with some old lubuntu derivatives. Client side i use 'pam_mount'. Now i'm working on a ubuntu mate derivative, and i've not found a way to start the session properly in CIFS. If i create a plain local home (pam_mkhome), session start as

hello there, I wonder if you could help me: I am trying to install 50 diskless servers using PXE / kickstart, it all starts well, DHCP server issues a dynamic address, tftp issues the kickstart file, the client starts reading the KS file but at some point anaconda brings up an unhandled exception related to Python when reading Comps.xml?? What is really unsettling is the fact that if I plug

I will soon be implementing a Fedora Core 4 (or 5), 2.8MHz Xeon, 1GB RAM, 2.5TB storage, gigabit ethernet server which will hold backup copies of about 200 DVDs. These DVDs will be played through a gigabit LAN to another Fedora Core 4 (or 5) workstation using xine which will then output video to the projector in my living room. I am not asking to start a competition or war on the list. My

Hi, I've never been using NFS before, but I'm going to need it. I gathered some documentation (Deployment Guide, RHEL 5 Unleashed, general NFS docs) and I have a few machines to experiment with. After about two hours of reading and experimenting, I must admit the documentation is confusing, to say the least. Although some step-by-step tutorials are provided, none of them work. For

The FreeBSD ACL implementation is currently based on a late POSIX.1e draft, and is similar in functionality to the ACL support in Solaris, IRIX, and Linux. It was developed along a similar timeline to the Linux ACL support, and Andreas and I chatted a fair amount along the way so the parallels are strong -- in fact, the Samba ACL support is almost identical, and the ACL API man pages on
