NFS mount in /etc/fstab ?
I have a server running RH 8. This server has some backup sripts that copy some stuff out to an NFS share on a Unix machine. I have added the NFS mount point to /etc/fstab and it does not mount on startup. Anyone know why ?
If I do a mount -a it will mount If I put mount -a in rc.local it will mount All network service startup as usual, netfs is S25. DNS etc.. all works ok. Any ideas ? |
Can you give us or post what you put in your fstab file to mount the NFS? We don't know or can't guess what's wrong. Any error messages?

saptst01:/sci /mnt/sci nfs rw,soft,bg,intr 0 0
no error messages in startup. It just doesn't mount. I assume the syntax works fine because a plain 'mount -a' will mount it. |
[solved]
Apologies for bumping this, but I had the exact same problem just a few minutes ago, and I solved it.
As it turns out, on this system (RHEL 6.4, for the curious), /mnt was a symlink to /var/mnt. So when I made a mountmount in what I thought was /mnt/derp, and then tried to execute Code:
mount /mnt/derp Once I modified /etc/fstab to change /mnt/derp to /var/mnt/derp, I was able to get it working. Code:
mount -a Apologies for the thread necromancy, but since this thread was the first link in a duckduckgo search, I felt I should contribute a solution. TL;DR: check readlink to be sure your mountpoint is where you think it is.. :) |
