Right, but in the case you want to do an NFS mount, you better have to wait the switch and the NIC to have finished to negociate (otherwise you may hit the timeout of mount). This should perhaps be seen as two different problems. A way to minimize the risk of a failed NFS mount is to use some a the various automount existing mechanisms, but that may not be sufficient if another service (ex: a mysql service having its database under NFS) requires the NFS mount. -- francis _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
