Hi everyone, As briefly as possible. I have smbfs mount directives in my /etc/fstab directory and they do work. The mount points are under the /mnt directory.
The problem is that there is a LOOONNNGGGGGGG pause during the boot process, so long infact that I keep finding myself punching the [edit] key to 'help' it along. it then says, mount success = 0 and then mounts two of the three points I have defined, as far as I can tell it varies in success with each mount... Here's the added lines of my fstab ... editted. /server/micellanous /mnt/micellanous smbfs defaults 0 0 /server/music /mnt/music smbfs defualts 0 0 /server/programs /mnt/programs smbfs defaults 0 0 okay ... is there anyway to make this run in the background during the boot process so I can get rid od the Loonngg wait? Is there anyway to get it mount all points all the time. My server is an esmith 5.0 box with shared ibays. Works well with windows hence the samba mounts. I will try NFS mounts, but I don't know if that will work as there is no /etc/import/export entries on the server. thanks Mick -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
