[gentoo-user] Need more NFS help
A couple of weeks ago I switched my gcc profile over and rebuilt everything with emerge -e system and emerge -e world. Now, when I restart the computer (any of the three on my LAN), the NFS shares listed in /etc/fstab are not automatically mounted. I can mount them manually with no errors. Here's an example of one of my /etc/fstab files: camille ~ # cat /etc/fstab # This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-src/rc-scripts/etc/fstab,v 1.18.4.1 2005/01/31 23:05:14 vapier Exp $ # # noatime turns off atimes for increased performance (atimes normally aren't # needed; notail increases performance of ReiserFS (at the expense of storage # efficiency). It's safe to drop the noatime options if you want and to # switch between notail / tail freely. # # See the manpage fstab(5) for more information. # fs mountpointtype opts dump/pass # NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts. /dev/sda2 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 2 /dev/sda6 / ext3 noatime 0 1 /dev/sda7 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/sda5 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/store/ xfs noatime 0 0 #/dev/sda1 /mnt/windows ext3 noatime 0 1 /dev/sr0/mnt/cdromiso9660 noauto,ro 0 0 /dev/fd0/mnt/floppy auto noauto 0 0 carter:/backup /backup/carternfs bg,hard 0 0 carter:/usr/portage /usr/portage nfs bg,hard 0 0 carter:/home/michael/camera /mnt/Pictures nfs bg,hard 0 0 nfs bg,hard 0 0 #carter:/home/michael/BizarreBits /home/michael/BizarreBits/ nfs bg,hard 0 0 catherine:/backup /backup/catherine nfs bg,hard 0 0 # NOTE: The next line is critical for boot! proc/proc proc defaults0 0 # glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm for # POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink). # (tmpfs is a dynamically expandable/shrinkable ramdisk, and will # use almost no memory if not populated with files) shm /dev/shmtmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0 I can say at the command prompt: mount carter:/backup /backup/carter and it works fine without any errors. Why are these not being mounted at boot? Netmount starts at the default runlevel, but my nfs shares are not mounting...

Show your rc-status -a and you'll see a few nfs-related services that you've not added to default run level.

I don't say that's not true, but wouldn't this be a bug, and the nfsmount init script would be missing some depend entry? Personally, I always have the noauto option in my fstab lines for NFS shares, because of the looong delay when the server is offline while I boot. Not sure if this is still the case, though, haven't tried in a while. Instead, here these shares are mounted via /etc/init.d/local, when a ping to the server succeeds. Wonko

I had the same head scratching during the same time and wondered what it could have been. An enews would have been nice because I didn't see anything in my emerge logs.

Yeah, that's just part of the territory, though, isn't it? I've actually moved mine to boot since I'd rather have access to them in my local script than later. Potatoe, pohtahtow.
