There's no need for noauto. Simply set the 'bg' option in /etc/fstab to avoid having your system wait for non-essential mounts. Here's an example of my nfs settings: suse1:/home /home nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,intr,bg,noatime 0 0 You can man nfs for more information and this page also looks useful: <http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch29_:_Remote_Disk_Access_with_NFS> Cheers, Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
