I have a customer that has an application centrally located on an NFS server that I would like to install inside a Kickstart post script (RHEL6). The problem is that the software has an NFS mount command inside the install script and the mount is failing because there is no statd running on the host:
<pre>mount.nfs: rpc.statd is not running but is required for remote locking.
mount.nfs: Either use '-o nolock' to keep locks local, or start statd.
mount.nfs: an incorrect mount option was specified</pre>
Customer doesn't want to modify the script. It worked under RHEL5 but it's not working under RHEL6. I have tried to start the statd daemon within the post script in several ways:
service nfslock start
sh /etc/init.d/nfslock start
/sbin/rpc.statd -dL
Not having much success. The service and init.d script return "Starting NFS statd: [FAILED]". The other returns nothing. Has anyone run across this and have a solution?
Thanks.
