Warning. Using "soft" can cause silent data corruption. $ man 5 nfs soft / hard Determines the recovery behavior of the NFS client after an NFS request times out. If neither option is specified (or if the hard option is specified), NFS requests are retried indefinitely. If the soft option is specified, then the NFS client fails an NFS request after retrans retransmissions have been sent, causing the NFS client to return an error to the calling application. NB: A so-called "soft" timeout can cause silent data corruption in certain cases. As such, use the soft option only when client responsiveness is more important than data integrity. Using NFS over TCP or increasing the value of the retrans option may mitigate some of the risks of using the soft option. After seeing soft used and seeing the problems it can create I strongly recommend avoiding it. > Why do you think that changing this option influences the behaviour of > GNOME?

The user flag is usually for local media. In any case it isn't in the list for nfs mount options. Also neither is auto. Same with _netdev. Personally I am only using "async" and nothing more these days. "intr" is okay. But I am also not sure what you are asking. Initially you wrote: > Two of the machines opens Nautilus after each login.

How would NFS mount options cause Nautilus to automatically start up at login time? That sems like an autostart configuration of GNOME. If you are wanting to prevent that then I would concentrate on looking there. Bob
