On an irregular basis, I find that my 11.3 system fails to mount a NFS volume from another system. When this happens I have to manually run "/etc/init.d/nfs start". Furthermore, sometimes this also fails and I have to switch to run-level 2 and back to 5 (or 3, I suppose).
All this (my symptoms and those reported by others here) make me wonder if there really is a poor choice of init script dependencies?
Probably.
I know of two ways to do NFS.
One is to put it in the /etc/fstab So it may be that you get the NFS mount demand before /usr/lib ... ?
I'm using this, /etc/fstab. Furthermore, I "configured" it by the simple expedience of copying the pertinent line from my 11.1 fstab to my 11.3 fstab. Perhaps that side-stepped some other required configuration or dependency adjustment?
The other is 'on demand' via the mapper - /etc/auto.net
I'm aware of on-demand auto-mounting, but have never used it nor really learned how to set it up. I'll look into it.
