| 612643 | 2007-11-19 06:08:00 | About now I'd be inclined to reinstall (# apt-get install nfs-kernel-server nfs-common portmap) and double check configs | Myth (110) | ||
| 612644 | 2007-11-20 07:54:00 | The workaround is simple. As root, i type the command mount -a and suddenly all the NFS mounts specified in fstab are mounted, even though they failed to mount as the machine boots up. I'm not alone in this problem. we found the same problem with the other client machine on my network, as Ziggys NFS mounts failed to be untill the same command was typed. He runs Suse 10.3, so it seems it's not limited to Debian-Etch by any means! O well, awaiting the new machine, so i can see how a Debian-Lenny client machine copes with NFS. |

| 612645 | 2007-11-20 08:10:00 | I had something similar to this recently while trialling Ubuntu (NFS client). It wouldn't mount exported shares on bootup (which were in fstab), but I was manually able to mount them after bootup. My workaround was to create a script that mounted them soon after bootup. The assumption was that the wireless device was initiating AFTER the NFS shares were attempting to mount. It worked. Maybe this is whats happening with you, your eth* device is initiating after fstab has been read |

I noticed that your shared directories were on a different partition to /. As an experiment, you could make a shared folder on / and see if it gets mounted automatically during bootup. | Jen (38) | ||
