Re: [Oscar-users] Mounting NFS Filesystem - fails on Linux Boot.

[Jeremy Enos]

I'm going to take a guess that you are using GigE?  There is a frequently encountered general Linux problem with GigE where the network init scripts which bring up the network allow the startup to continue before a successful switch negotiation is actually complete.  Hence, a crude fix to put a "mount -a" in an rc.local script or something should resolve the problem.

Anyone else ever come up with something more elegant yet?

The compute nodes have problem mounting the NFS Filesystem when booting on RH 9.0 � it gives me this error on the boot up screen:
 
�Mounting NFS filesystem:                  Mount: RPC: Remote System error � No route to host�
 
Once the compute nodes boot up, I could manually mount the NFS filesystem with no problem which is � mount nfs_oscar:/home /home�.
