NM has it's own (cross distro) system which doesn't match in many places with suse configuration, so it was decided it's easier for everybody if the answer is "no", rather than "depends". For re-mounting services not listed in /etc/fstab, you'll need to write a dispatcher script for it yourself. The current dispatcher script is generic with a single rule: "when a device is activated, mount all NFS services". That doesn't take account movable devices (like laptops) where you can get connected anywhere and thus might not have access to the network resources (like NFS, ..) of your home/office. NM provides a way to solve that (by giving extra information to the dispatcher scripts), but there are currently no tools that use it. The rules ideally need to be like "if a specific configuration is activated/deactivated, do ...", which requires user configuration and right now, there are no graphical tools to configure that. A comment for "a brief blip or reconnect *to the same network* causes nfs mounts to be destroyed" - The dispatcher script runs right after disconnect - at which point, there is no way of knowing whether you'll get a connection back (to the same network or not) right away, so it's working as designed. In summary, I'm going to close this bug again - I don't think it would be a good default to try to remount NFS services which do not appear in /etc/fstab. I don't think it's what most people would want and we have infrastructure to override that. -- 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.
