And yes, the same is true here.... BUT, I need not manually start the NFS server after a reboot. I comes up just fine and a remote system can mount the exported file systems. Unlike what the OP and you seem to have in common. Sooooo...... What is the output of "systemctl status nfs-server.service" *after* a reboot and before you manually start it.... And second..... Do you have "NetworkManager-wait-online.service" enabled. If not, does enabling it make a difference? -- Getting tired of non-Fedora discussions and self-serving posts -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
