In case the interface is already up at mount time, you can maybe use the /etc/hosts mechanisms to assign hostnames to the IPs you're refering to in /etc/fstab, so you can use hostnames or aliases there which will then automatically be resolved. > do you have any suggestions on how best to achieve this goal? You can write your own "NFS mount wrapper" and place it into /usr/local/etc/rc.d; use a template from /etc/rc.d and check the keywords for REQUIRE that you'll need (references to interfaces and maybe routing). Then add a _enable="YES" for your script in /etc/rc.conf and it will be started by the system when the requirements (indicated by keywords) are met. There is no need to exactly define this as a point in time in a given order. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
