NFS mounts and fstab
|
|
|
Hello,
I'm having a problem where my Solaris 9 system wont mount my nfs mounts
on startup. But if I log in and verify that they are not mounted and
run "mountall -F nfs" the mount just fine.
What is the best way to troubleshoot this?
Thanks,
- Charles |

is the NFS Server online when Client tries to mount? Last week I saw a
system who tries to mount from itsself at boot time. This cannot work, as
the NFS server is started in Runlevel 3 but the Client earlier.
And: do you know the mountoptions for NFS? Look at
#man mount_nfs
Just two ideas.
HTH,

Checking the mount options 
Is there a "yes" at "mount at boot" ?
man vfstab

you might want to use the automounter instead of vfstab for nfs mounts |

Try man automount
What this does is create autofs mount points and associates an automount
map with each mount point & starts the daemon.
Then it monitors the filesystem and when a machine tries to use an autofs
mount point, it's mounted.
If it hasn't been used (by default I think it's 10 minutes), it get
unmounted.
The file /etc/auto_master contains the locations of all autofs mount
points.
The cool thing is that you can add maps into NIS or LDAP systems and can
have direct and indirect mounts.
A simple example /etc/auto_direct:
/apps/matlab -ro matlabserver:/export/matlab7
/opt/local/ -ro,nosuid server1,server2:/export/local
Here we are mounting (client side) /apps/matlab/ read-only from
matlabserver /export/matlab7. The second mounts /opt/local (client-end)
from any of server1 or server2.
It is very cool. |
