I have just upgraded to suse 9. My machine is set up as an NIS client. But it wont moount any home directories. Actually this isnt strictly true. In order to actually make it an NIS client in the first place I had to add a line to /etc/fstab to mount the home direcories, which looks like this: homer:/home /home nfs rw 0 0 But when the machine boots, this line appears to be ignored. If I go to command line and type mount -a it reruns fstab and mount everything fine. My question is why doest this happen at boot up? Am I missing something this line that would stop it mounting at boot time? I have had a look through the suse manual but it doest list many examples of options that can be used in fstab. All of them seem quite irrelavent for what I need to do. But also had a search on the net but couldnt Find anything of any help. Has anyone else had this problem? Any advice pionters would be much appeciated. Cheers -- Andrew Nix St Pauls Catholic High School Firbank Road Newall Green Wythenshawe Manchester M23 2YS tel: 0161 4922040 fax: 0161 4982030
