Right after dracut successfully mounts the root filesystem from the server I get an infinite series of error messages related to rpcbind and mkdir
which I'm unable to fix: dracut: Mounted root filesystem 192.168.1.1:/srv/fai/nfsroot rpcbind: rpcbind terminating on signal. Restart with "rpcbind -w" rpcbind: cannot open file = /run/rpcbind/rpcbind.xdr for writing ... mkdir: cannot create directory '/var/lib/discover': Read-only file system ... Obviously FAI fails completely and I'm unable to install any new node. I'm running the latest version of FAI (5.1.2) on a debian 8.5 system. I did not have this issue before on the very same system, thus all must have started after one of the most recent updates of debian OS, which I usually apply every month or so (FAI packages included).
