[Resolved] Impossible to do a NFS installation

[DBMandrake]

/nfs/osmc *(rw,allsquash,sync,no_subtree_check,insecure,crossmnt,anonuid=1000,anongid=1000)_

You can’t do an nfs boot off an NFS share that has allsquash enabled.

By doing this you are forcing all files to belong to UID/GID 1000 - eg the OSMC user. When the entire OSMC install is hosted on the nfs server it must be able to support files owned by multiple different users including root. For an nfs root install you need no_root_squash. Something like this:

/nfs/osmc *(rw,async,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,insecure)

Boot over NFS

My functioning export from my testing root mount used async rather than sync. There was also an issue at one point that caused problems when Gb network was set for high mtu/jumbo frames. Is that your exact export line? Because yours also doesn’t include the netmask designation (/24). /media/raspbmc 192.168.0.0/24(rw,async,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,insecure)
