Very Computer

because the rpc does not answer...

I wrote to the fstab

192.191.192.200:/home/aaa/ /fileserver/home/aaa/ nfs defaults 1 1

where 192.192.192.200 is the ip of the system itself.

I think, "default" is the problem, but I do not know what is the solution.

When I mount the nfs after booting is complete, it works, of course. But I
want it to be mounted automatically during bootup...

Hi!,

The man page would suggest something like the following for your setup:

192.191.192.200:/home/aaa   /fileserver/home/aaa   nfs  
rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr

All of the above would be on the one line.

See ya

Same error-message, because of the try of mounting is BEFORE the nfs-server
is started, I think. The nfs must be mounted AFTER stzarting the
nfs-daemon. But what option would do this??

(Please don't change the subject when following up, it breaks
threading in some newsreaders.)

If RedHat tries to mount filesystems before starting the NFS
utilities, RedHat is broken.  So I somewhat doubt this is your
problem, but you can verify it by checking the ordering of files in
/etc/rcX.d (where `X' is your system's default runlevel, see
/etc/inittab).

You should see something like:

/etc/rc2.d/S19nfs-common -> /etc/init.d/nfs-common
/etc/rc2.d/S35mountall.sh -> /etc/init.d/mountall.sh
/etc/rc2.d/S45mountnfs.sh -> /etc/init.d/mountnfs.sh

(Where `-> ...' indicates a symbolic link to `...'.  I _think_ recent
RedHats work that way.)  The `S' means `start,' and the `19' (or 35 or
45) is the order, with lower numbers starting first.

By the way, `rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr' is the same as
`defaults' on my system; YMMV.

Hi!,

Eric's right, changing the subject will break newsreader threads.  You might
like to check the run levels, but Redhat shouldn't normally break its NFS
mounts at all.  The system should only try to do a "mountall" instruction,
when it is booting up into multi-user mode and that the networking has been
established.

I know certainly that RH6.2 and RH7.1 work without any problem when it comes
to NFS mounting from the fstab entry.
