I was adding some NFS mounts using YaST. Everything went normally until I finished. The YaST module stopped services (normal) but when it started services, the progress bar stopped halfway. I waited for about five minutes but the wait cursor just kept rolling. Finally I clicked the abort button to no effect. I then logged out and logged back in. The problem persisted. I tried a reboot. The reboot stopped during the boot process but I neglected to note where it stopped. I tried rebooting in safe mode. The safe boot stopped just after the console lines:
Mount CIFS File System unused
I'm at a loss as to how to proceed. Any and all suggestions appreciated.
Find your Install DVD, boot from that, go into recover mode, mount root partition somewhere mount /dev/hda? /mnt
then navigate to /mnt/etc and manually edit fstab to remove what ever you added to get back to where you were.
While I didn't use your specific instructions, your comments pointed me in the right direction and for that I thank you. As it turns out, the system will complete the boot process if you wait long enough, on the order of fifteen minutes, supposedly processing fstab. I manually removed the three NFS shares that I had been trying to add. The system now boots quickly but without my NFS shares. Now, when I try to add NFS shares via YaST, YaST throws a segmentation fault. Any thoughts on how to fix that?

I'd just add them manually into fstab, and set them to not mount at boot, and user-mountable. That way if the server machine is not on line, the client machine does not hang. The Yast thing might get cleaned up by this process as well but I can't be sure. -- ----------JSA--------- Someone stole my tag line, so now I have this rental. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
