Package: fai-server
Version: 3.2.4-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Hi,
I noticed the 'mount' package isn't mentioned in the /etc/fai/NFSROOT file, so
trying to create the nfs-root environment
will fail when mounting the chroot environment.
When I add the mount package to the NFSROOT file, installation runs fine.
regards,
Roel.
