remote mount hangs sysstem
Is there a way to mount a cdrom or remote file systems using fstab but not having it crash out the system. example if i have a nfs share set up to another machine and that machine goes down the next time i reboot my system the machine hangs when it cannot find the share and will not allow me to do anything and i have to hook up a monitor and keyboard to get it back the same happens when there is an error on a cd rom ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

So if i set to noauto does it still get mounted or do i have to execute a command later paul beard wrote: On Nov 23, 2003, at 12:13 PM, RYAN vAN GINNEKEN wrote: Is there a way to mount a cdrom or remote file systems using fstab but not having it crash out the system. example if i have a nfs share set up to another machine and that machine goes down the next time i reboot my system the machine hangs when it cannot find the share and will not allow me to do anything and i have to hook up a monitor and keyboard to get it back the same happens when there is an error on a cd rom make sure the entry on /etc/fstab is set to noauto: then the client won't try to mount the filesystem on boot. -- Paul Beard paulbeard.no-ip.org/movabletype/ paulbeard [at] mac.com ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

There may be more sophisticated ways (automounters and such that mount the filesystem as you traverse into it) but I've never used them. man 8 amd, for example. DESCRIPTION Amd is a daemon that automatically mounts filesystems whenever a file or directory within that filesystem is accessed. Filesystems are automati- cally unmounted when they appear to be quiescent. -- Paul Beard paulbeard.no-ip.org/movabletype/ paulbeard [at] mac.com ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
