>Number: 2416 >Category: misc >Synopsis: 2.2-BETA install NFS mount failure behavior is not perfect >Confidential: no >Severity: non-critical >Priority: low >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Class: change-request >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Tue Jan 7 22:10:02 PST 1997 >Last-Modified: >Originator: Dave Andersen >Organization: ArosNet, Inc. >Release: FreeBSD 2.2-RELEASE i386 >Environment: i386 (not environment specific) >Description: When a 2.2-BETA install attempts to mount an NFS filesystem to perform an upgrade installation and can not mount that NFS filesystem, the entire upgrade aborts and forces a reboot of the system. This beavhior seems somewhat suboptimal - it should present the user with the option to retry the installation with a different media (perhaps retrying the NFS install with a different filesystem). >How-To-Repeat: Install under 2.2-BETA and select an upgrade installation, and install over NFS from a filesystem you don't have permission to mount. >Fix: See above. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
