It's a 'maybe', but: do you have NIS accounting? In that case maybe the hostname 'cyclops' is not known at that stage... Regards Harry

Can anyone explain why this isn't working? In /etc/fstab I have:
cyclops:/shared /mnt/shared nfs auto 0 0
...as my last entry (watch wrapping - that's all one line). However, when I reboot I always have to manually mount that share with 'mount -a' as root.
Formerly I was a Mandrake (ugh) user and this method always worked. The only clue is at boot regarding a change in the sync/nosync option for nfs. Not sure if this is really the cause or not though.
Any ideas?
thanks!
