:Hi all, :Im looking for an answer to a problem i am having. My computer mounts an :NFS share at boot time via /etc/fstab. If the server is for some reason :unavailable at boot time of my computer, my computer just hangs on trying :to mount the share. they were some kind of RPC errors. The problem is :solved quickly by pressing ctrl+c, but i dont want to press ctrl+c. I'd :like it to finish booting the system and dont hang forever on nfs. : :What can I do? : :Petr
I usually tell NFS to do a background mount by specifying the 'bg' option. Making operations interruptable with the 'intr' option is also a good idea in certain cases. For example: fubar:/usr/doc /usr/doc nfs ro,bg,intr 0 0 fubar:/sources/HEAD /usr/src nfs ro,bg,intr 0 0 -Matt Matthew Dillon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
