/etc/mtab is not getting updated during kickstart installation

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • /etc/mtab in the chroot only contains the entry for the root device. Therefore packages that check for additional volumes being installed (eg. separate /opt volume) using the mount command fail.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.8
