Hi guys,

I have 2 NFS (Srv1 and Srv2) , Srv2 is the backup of Srv1.
i have make an sutomount an NFS from Srv1 eg: /oracle to client
workstation.
can i also "automount" Srv2 NFS eg: /oracle if Srv1 is
down?however, i would like to alway give Srv1 NFS priority compare to
Srv2.

Thanks in advance

You can specify two hosts in the automount table entry that will take
care of the problem. Something like '/oracle Srv1,Srv2:/oracle'
This only works if Srv1 is not answering the request at mount time. If
you have mounted the directory and the server fails you will not switch
to the other system.
See the man page for more info.
