Mount nfs through fstab

buckster · Post by **buckster** » Thu May 03, 2007 10:22 am

Any idea why this will mount a nfs from the command line:

~$ sudo mount 192.168.1.103://home/sue/Shared /media/OfficeNet

But this entry in fstab doesn't mount it at startup:

Code: Select all

192.168.1.103://home/sue/Shared /media/OfficeNet nfs

I have two entries like this in my fstab, one for home and one for work (laptop). Sometimes it works on boot and sometimes I can get it by using a mount -a command, and if that doesn't work I have to use the explicit mount command above. ???

Seems flaky to me but I may be missing something, 7 years with Linux but little Debian experience.

192.168.1.103://home/sue/Shared /media/OfficeNet nfs

Perhaps

Code: Select all

192.168.1.103://home/sue/Shared /media/OfficeNet nfs defaults 0 0

assuming
/etc/exports
has something like this on correct machine(s)

Code: Select all

/home/sue/Shared        192.168.x.x/255.255.255.0

Thanks,

I think what's throwing me off is the fact that it has worked at times and not others. Both machines that I connect to are PCLinuxOS and share perfectly with other PCLOS boxes.
I'll try defaults 0 0
