My question is, is this normal for NFS? Is there a timeout setting somewhere you can make to prevent this hassle in the future or would I just be better off not using NFS?
You can use NFS, but entries in /etc/fstab should be set to noauto for NFS shares that are not present all the time, like another desktop.
The timeout exists, details you can see in man nfs but system should be able to start with or without NFS shares, unless they are part of basic file system, like /home.
There's no need for noauto. Simply set the 'bg' option in /etc/fstab to avoid having your system wait for non-essential mounts. Here's an example of my nfs settings: suse1:/home /home nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,intr,bg,noatime 0 0 You can man nfs for more information and this page also looks useful: <http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch29_:_Remote_Disk_Access_with_NFS> Cheers, Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
