changed local net address nfs is hanging at boot

spooge · 08-18-2003, 08:46 PM

changed local net address at router, server,client boxs
to 192.168.100.xxx, from 192.168.1.xxx

one client box(rh9) is hanging bigtime @ "mounting NFS filesystems"
usually this just gives up, and linux boots.

i changed ip after i noticed some large traffic( maybe from a friend. hopefully) at that box.

seems wierd, any ideas ?

edit: went for smokes, came back black screen
thanks

If the NFS mounts are configured to mount at boot, you need to edit your fstab to match the changes you made to the host addresses. This is a very common prob.

see /etc/fstab

One addition to that:
If your /etc/fstab mentions the server by name, fix your /etc/hosts file so that the name is translated to the correct ip address.
