My system won't mount the NFS shares during boot, and when I run "mount -a" I get this error:

In "/etc" I find "mtab" along with a lot of "mtab~XXXX" files, all of them are 0 bytes in size.
Weird. Try this: Log out, then log in as root in terminal 1, then do an "init 1", and then remove those "mtab~XXXX" files, and return to runlevel 5. That should solve part of the problem; then you should investigate why "rcnfs" fails during boot. You do have that service enabled? A guess would be that the lock files belong to a failed process trying to mount something (the nfs shares?) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
