Hi Hiroyuki, I tried what you said, but no success. Here are the configs: on server: root@server:~# cat /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost,server 194.225.69.105 server 192.168.1.3 client1 192.168.1.4 client2 root@server:~# cat /etc/exports /home/nfsroot 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0(rw,async,no_root_squash) /opt 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0(rw,sync,no_root_squash) root@server:~# cat /etc/hosts.allow sendmail: all ALL: 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 On clients: mahmood@client1:~$ cat /etc/fstab # UNCONFIGURED FSTAB FOR BASE SYSTEM # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/nfs / nfs defaults 0 0 192.168.1.1:/opt /opt nfs defaults 0 0 mahmood@client1:~$ cat /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.1.1 server 192.168.1.3 client1 192.168.1.4 client2 However, there is no sign of proper automount: mahmood@client1:~$ ls /opt/ mahmood@client1:~$ // Naderan *Mahmood; ----- Original Message ----- From: Hiroyuki Sato <hiroysato@xxxxxxxxx> To: Mahmood Naderan <nt_mahmood@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Brian R Cowan <brcowan@xxxxxxxxxx>; nfs <linux-nfs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, May 5, 2011 7:55 PM Subject: Re: debugging nfs Hello Mahmood. Have you ever tried to write ip address instead of server fqdn?? or have you ever tries write server entry in /etc/hosts?? It is mean that /etc/fstab ip.ad.re.ss:/opt /opt nfs mount_opt 0 0 or /etc/hosts ip.add.re.ss server I met same problem today, and I resolve it. My friend were using NIS on scientific linux . and It tried to mount before NIS started. -- Hiroyuki Sato 2011/5/5 Mahmood Naderan <nt_mahmood@xxxxxxxxx>: > Well, I found the problem very nasty and in my previous posts, I mentioned some of them. > > The big problem: > when the clients boots, it doesn't automatically mount the shared folders via /etc/fstab. > However after login to client, I can mount the folder manually with > > "sudo mount -t nfs server:/opt /opt" > > I really don't know why fstab doesn't work.
