The FSTAB file for both laptops includes identical NFS mounts. On my machine the mounts are available when the machine has booted, on my wife's they are not, but are available after "sudo mount -a".
I found this discussion from 2009 which appears to address the issue:
https://www.linuxquestions.org/question ... ot-546512/
However, I do not know enough about runlevels to make the appropriate adjustments and don't want to risk breaking anything and assume that the problem, if there is one, is best fixed for everyone. I will look for other solutions but thought I'd report the issue here anyway.
I tried to put a launcher icon on the desktop to mount the NFS shares via a bash script. That didn't go well. I found the following discussion which seems relevant:
viewtopic.php?t=231043
but was unable to get the solution indicated in the last message to work. I also tried adding a timeout to the NFS mount command (up to a 600 tenths of a second); that didn't work.
Code: Select all
sudo umount -a
Code: Select all
/run/user/1000
/home
/sys/fs/cgroup/systemd
/sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/shm
/
/run
/dev
I'm using the latest kernel (4.13.0-26) on this machine--and tried 4.4.0-109 with similar results.
Thanks for any suggestions.
