Invoking smart during anaconda kickstart, anyone got this working ?
QU: What's the most central place in the smart source, where I can insert printed debugging statements, in order to trace where smart is hanging when I run:
smart channel -y --remove-all
?
Networking, DNS name resolution and NFS mounting are all working fine prior to running these smart commands.
I know these are working because files are retrieved from NFS mounts prior to this above smart command, and I've confirmed those files are copied successfully before the smart commands are run.
###
I'm trying to setup my smart channels during the anaconda kickstart automated installation of several new linux computers. And I'm then using smart to finish off the installation.
But once fedora base packages, including all the smart components, are installed, then all attempts to run any smart commands results in the smart process locking up.
If I move the entire anaconda kickstart "%post" scripted actions to occur after reboot, they all work perfectly.
This is my current workaround, but I need to move on.
I want to either fix smart, or find out what I'm doing wrong, not continue working around the problem.
Hence my question - see above.

Here's what works after reboot, but locks up under anaconda's kickstart:
smart channel -y --remove-all
smart channel -y --add /etc/smart/
smart channel -y --add /etc/smart/
smart channel -y --add /etc/smart/
smart channel -y --add /etc/smart/
smart channel -y --add /etc/smart/
smart channel -y --add /etc/smart/
smart channel -y --add /etc/smart/
smart update
smart upgrade -y

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
