Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give it a try and let you know how it goes.

Subject: Re: [Oscar-users] NFS file systems not mounting on boot
One thing you can try is to kick the value of the System V startup script
toward the end of the boot process. I have had occasional problems where the
network startup took a very long time but seemed to go on in the background
after the system said [ok] and there was not any connectivity until much later
in the boot process.
check in /var/lib/systemimager/images/<imagename>/etc/rc3.d/ for netfs and
nfslock (at least), they should show up as symlinks, something like S25netfs
and S14nfslock. You can mv the file to something like S90netfs and S90nfslock.
You may need to play with this, but if nfslock is broken things should work,
just with lots of errors in the log files.
Don't forget to either cpush the files to the /etc/rc3.d on the nodes and/or
reimage the nodes.
This is a hack, but I have "had" to do it with autofs on some of my systems to
get things to work.

The head node is not rebooting during this process. It is simply up

On the head node, I am running the OSCAR Wizard; I am in the monitor
cluster screen, and the nodes are installing. Upon completion of the install,
I set them to reboot. They reboot (with the head node still up, running the
OSCAR Wizard), and no NFS file systems. When I click the "complete cluster
setup" button after they reboot, it says success, and then do the "test cluster
setup," the new nodes do not have /home mounted, and that test fails...

Subject: Re: [Oscar-users] NFS file systems not mounting on boot
Are you completely booting the head node before you boot the client
nodes? If you don't the client nodes boot much faster than the head
(because they run so few services) and they will generaly finish
booting before the nfs server is up, so the mounts fail.
