I noticed one strange thing. I put an entry in my fstab above the other legitimate entries like: fs1:/data/users /users nfs defaults 0 0 fs1:/data/users does exist on the server but I deleted the /users mountpoint on my computer to see what would happen. It skips this entry and the next legit entry and still only mounts the last 2. This is like something out of a nerd horror movie. //----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I found how to fix it. Inside of /etc/rc.d/init.d/netfs - the part that mounts the NFS shares, I put: sleep 30 Does this give any clues as to what's going on? Both servers have Gigabit NICs in them (I've even stuck an Intel PRO1000 G in my Sun Microsystems E450) and the PC has SATA2 drives in it. I've also enabled jumbo frames (set to 9014 on all machines). Does this mean my NFS servers are too slow? -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
