I entered the "_netenv" option in the place the "auto" option, saved the file and when I booted up this morning no shares auto mounted. I can't comment on whether or not the cifs shares would have auto mounted as the Windows box wasn't switched on. The file server, however, is always on so should have mounted. Later when the Windows box was on I executed "sudo mount -a" which mounted the cifs shares fine (so I'm assuming they will be mounted at boot if the machine is on for the moment) but it seems that the "_netenv" option doesn't work with nfs shares. The following error is returned for the nfs share: "mount.nfs: an incorrect mount option was specified" Is this an nfs specific error and how should I address it? The relevant nfs line in /etc/fstab now reads: # -- Entry for File Server : # 10.1.1.4:/home /media/file_server nfs _netenv,rw,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr Thanks. -- Simon Ives [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.simonives.info Please consider the environment before printing this email or any attachments. -- ubuntu-au mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
