Is there any way I can make a client wait longer to get an nfs share? And/or make the server retry more times? SuSE-9.0 server and clients. Thanks, Steve.

When do you want this behaviour? If it's at boot time, then you can edit /etc/init.d/nfs and change the sleep time and background the task as described in the comments. This often overcomes timeout problems at boot IME, YMMV. Dylan -- "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin

I want it when logging onto the server from a client. Several clients are logging into kde at the same time and need to access the config files stored on the server etc. Sone clients give up part way through the login sequence and have to be restarted. A real pain. When booting however into kdm, there is no such problem. All clients arrive at the login screen. It only occurs when logging into kde from kdm. Any ideas most welcome. Thanks, Steve.

You use an extremely confusing terminology. Do you mean that (1) clients (= computers) mount the /home directory via NFS from the server, (2) other client filesystems are local, and (3) clients boot into kdm? Anyway, if you use hard mounts and clients give up then you have a bug in the NFS code. Which kernel do you use? -- A.M.
