Hi Roger, If you had a manual mount of: mount -t nfs remotesys:/user/data /mnt/data1 the fstab would be: remotesys:/user/data /mnt/data1 nfs owner,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,soft,intr 0 0 That will allow any user to mount it, 8192 entries should speed things up with increased block sizes, soft means it will return an error instead of hanging if the server is unavailble, and intr is similar by allowing a kill of the process if server is unavailble. If you want it to be mounted at boot time, asdd auto to the options set. If you do not care if one user can umount a different users mount, you can change owner to user.
