1. on a 8.x system be sure you ran 'insserv /etc/init.d/nfs' 2. furthermore, be sure you have the hosts used in your fstab are locally in your /etc/hosts. this could be a problem when you are using NIS. But I think option 1 will do the trick! Regards Harry

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.

TIA

Eddie
