Why not just use a bind mount instead of NFS? I believe the fstab entry would look like: /export/point /mount/point rw,bind 0 0 Or you could use autofs to pick up your NFS mounts. I believe it will use a bind mount if it determines that the exporting host is trying to mount a filesystem from itself. -Steve -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Ashley M. Kirchner Sent: Sunday, June 06, 2004 10:49 PM To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: nfs before netfs? I have a server that needs to NFS mount a mount point that it exports (bare with me, it's my sanity on the line here - the server exports a whole directory to the network, and to keep my sanity, I have it mount that directory just like all the other servers do - this makes it easier in writing scripts that need to run on that mount point on all the servers.) However, because init runs netfs before nfs, that mount point always fails to get mounted. So, the question now is: is it safe to change the order in which netfs and nfs run (and load up nfs and nfslock before netfs runs)? Any pros and cons or caveats I should be aware of? -- W | I haven't lost my mind; it's backed up on tape somewhere. +-------------------------------------------------------------------- Ashley M.
