please try to drop nfs entries from fstab and use autofs if you want them mounted on demand instead of on boot this is supported in openSUSE since ages and is the same in all Linux distributions
I'm not sure firewall is really taking any time but I seem to remember that NFS is not working well together with it, because of using dynamic port numbers so the easiest fix would be to disable the firewall.
Thank you so much! No-one has ever provided details on options of NFS and the world and product would be a better place if they were publicly available. I know you dont want to change Yast but everyone depends on that as they want a GUI. Both of us are happy with editing files and command prompts but the rest of the world just wants to use the product. Personally I hate GUI's but world market demands and depends on them. Users wont touch any product that required manual file edit or command lines. Suggest you change Yast>NFS>Help to include details of demand NFS options 1st. Second would recommend changes to KDE/Gnome control module's to include GUI NFS Auto demand and options. I know this crosses into kde's/Gnome responsibility but to save our product for both Enterprise and open users in the whole world that need Network Share ability NOW via GUI's Our product is so technically better than Windoze starting at our file system. We need to give users a better reason to use Suse Linux that can replace O/S the world over but up to use to give them, at very least, GUI Networking ability! Rather than go off Bugzilla, change classification to 'usability' No more talk WE have to deliver now or give up if only teck people know how to edit files and create shell files to do auto/demand Network share mode. Ideally is must ultimately completely reside in the kernel to run and maintain a dynamic Network share ability.That's means being smart and taking time but once done, its there forever! Can you provide URL for howto and create info that way and just include the same link in Yast>NFS>Help text. I have an outstanding bug just to load local help as being part of default pattern install and have its contents indexable. The product is so wonderful but we keep loosing sight of usability confined to just teck people. RE: Firewall..90 seconds is 90 seconds and the suggestion to a user to stop auto load and load firewall on demand just its commercially acceptable. Agin us tecks can do it but same question..Why should it make any difference to a user 90 seconds is just too long whatever the reasoning. We need to work out the smarts and give users usability in return as no user it going to put up with technical logic...they are to busy just using our product :-) Your thoughts please and keep this alive please and please CC add Jiri's Novell email;-) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
