Hi,
From: Eddie [mailto:eddie.howson@dsl.pipex.com] Hi all,
I've noticed that none of my nfs directories mount at bootup despite being set as auto in the /etc/fstab file. Issuing the "mount -a" command as root mounts them immediately without any problems.
Does anyone know why they fail to mount initially? Would be grateful for any advice, tips or ideas.
/etc/fstab is used before the runlevel starts. So the network is not configured yet and nfs will fail.
TIA
Eddie
cheers, Stefan PS: You can create your own rc-script mounting the desired filesystems. Then copy it to /etc/init.d and use insserv and chkconfig (or the runlevel editor of yast) to enable the service.
