Thanks for you reply, Andy.

Because the nfs server setting is configured long time ago and it works
other 8 computers with SL 4.6, I think it is not a problem.

Thanks for your advice, but our lab server can be accessed only in the lab.
So, there's no security problem.

I found something.

With the setting I wrote previously, the one written latter ( /home ) will
be mounted.

In this situation, if I type mount -a, /data is also mounted.

I think this means that fstab file syntax and nfs server setting is all
right.

Am I right?

Additionally, NFS server is SL 4.6 and clients that drive me crazy are SL
5.4 and SL 5.3.

I want to install SL 4.6, but its kernel doesn't recognize i7 860.

Please help me.
