TIA I had the same problem. I found it was due to named starting after the mount was attempted and so it couldn't resolve the name of the nfs server. I changed the fstab to the ip address instead and it worked fine. An example from my fstab: 192.168.1.10:/usr/src /usr/srcnfs rw,soft,intr,nfsv3,tcp 0 0 Give that a go. Regards, Matt. I did try that as my named was starting after Mounting NFS file systems too but it still wouldn't mount that line from fstab. It still mounts fine manually but not automatically on reboot like it should. It's probably something like a flag in rc.conf that I'm missing or some other little thing but I'm just not finding it. Thanks for trying. Anyone else with an idea? TIA ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: NFS weirdness...
As a diagnostic step: Boot up the system, and then try to manually mount the filesystem with the command 'mount /usr/src'. If this works ... it pretty much confirms that your /etc/fstab syntax is correct. If it doesn't work, focus on /etc/fstab as the problem. HTH. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com Thanks Bill, but as I said mounting it manually works fine so I doubt it's fstab. manually mounting works mount NFSD:/home2 /home So that also pretty much clears NFSD too /etc/exports works as evidenced in showmounts -e host and that I can manually mount it from HTTPD. I also serve homes via Samba on NFSD, that wouldn't interfere with NFS, would it? Again, since it's buried, here are my exports and fstab. on NFSD: /home2 -maproot=0 -alldirs httpd on HTTPD: NFSD:/home2 /home nfs rw,bg 0 0 Since it mounts manually but not automatically on reboot, I'm still stuck.

Re: NFS weirdness...
This isn't what I told you to do. This does not access your /etc/fstab at all and therefore doesn't accomplish what I was trying to help you determine. Do _this_: mount /home With no second parameter, mount will look through /etc/fstab for a mountpoint that matches /home and use the config in that line if it finds one. This tests your /etc/fstab I don't believe that 'mount NFSD:/home2 /home' forces mount to access the /etc/fstab file. You are correct, I misread the prev post. mount /home fails. # mount /home mount: /dev/ad0s1h: Device busy There are two mount points for /home. One on the local disk (ad0s1h) and the NFS mount that I mount over /home for shell users, so that HTTTD can find the public_html dirs. The complete fstab on HTTPD: # DeviceMountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass# /dev/ad0s1b noneswapsw 0 0 /dev/ad0s1a / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/ad0s1h /home ufs rw 2 2 /dev/ad0s1d /tmpufs rw 2 2 /dev/ad0s1g /usrufs rw 2 2 /dev/ad0s1e /varufs rw 2 2 /dev/ad0s1f /var/tmpufs rw 2 2 /dev/acd0 /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 NFSD:/home2 /home nfs rw,bg 0 0 This worked before I upgraded my webserver (HTTPD) but now it fails to mount on reboot yet succeeds manually.

NFS Problems...
I retired my old p200 fbsd 4.4-stable web server and built a newer box for it. I used to mount the /home2 dir from my nfs server (fbsd 5.1-current) to /home on the webserver and it used to work fine but now it doesn't mount /home2 on /home on boot up. I can manually mount it but then it gets confused and thinks it's mounted on /home2 when it's not. Evidently something must have changed since 4.4-S because it worked until today. on NFSD: (/etc/exports) /home2 -maproot=0 -alldirs httpd on HTTPD: (/etc/fstab) NFSD:/home2 /home nfs rw,bg 0 0 manually mounting mount NFSD:/home2 /home [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ -13:55:06- # cd ~dkdesign -su: cd: /home2/dkdesign: No such file or directory [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ -13:58:45- # cd /home/dkdesign/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/dkdesign -14:02:21- # ls -al drwxr-xr-x 2 dkdesign dkdesign 512 Mar 13 09:15 public_html/ From /var/log/httpd-error.log: [Wed Jun 4 13:56:45 2003] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] File does not exist: /home2/dkdesigns/public_html/ I don't get it.

Re: NFS Problems...
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ -13:55:06- # cd ~dkdesign -su: cd: /home2/dkdesign: No such file or directory Not surprising, because you mounted on /home not /home2. There shouldn't BE a /home2 on HTTPD but I figured out what happened. I copied /etc/group /etc/passwd /etc/pwd.db and /etc/master.passwd from NFSD to HTTPD to sync users and passwords and forgot to edit the home dir with vipw. I just did a global search and replace of /home2 to /home and rebuilt the pwd.db and it mounted fine and apache now serves public_html from the users shells. However, on reboot it doesn't mount from /etc/fstab, I have to mount it manually for some reason. So now I'm down to the one NFS problem. on NFSD: (/etc/exports) /home2 -maproot=0 -alldirs httpd on HTTPD: (/etc/fstab) NFSD:/home2 /home nfs rw,bg 0 0 manually mounting works mount NFSD:/home2 /home Works fine until I reboot. Shouldn't it mount by itself like it used to? What am I missing now? Why doesn't HTTPD mount NFSD:/home2 on /home when it reboots?
