Andrew, The problem you mentioned "Mounting RPC Remote System Error - No Route to host" appears to be that the network driver modules reset the ethernet cards during the "network" phase of bootup and the network doesn't fully function until some time afterward. The time from "service network start" (module loading) until full operation may be longer due to these machines having 3 ethernet interfaces. Have you put NFS filesystems in /etc/fstab file? Please refer the Red Hat bugzilla link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/beta/show_bug.cgi?id=107999 where they have provided patch to /etc/init.d/netfs (initscripts) that waits for NFS servers to be available. Caution: Make sure to take a backup of the script before modifying it. As mentioned in the bugzilla, the fix is to add a piece to the top of /etc/init.d/netfs that tries to ping its NFS servers for a while before mounting. It's written such that successful pinging will go past that step in a second or two and unsuccessful pinging will wait up to 5 minutes before proceeding. The long wait is acceptable in our case, since the servers can't accomplish their intended tasks without access to the NFS server. On the client, type rpcinfo -p server where server is the DNS name or IP address of your server. Red Hat do not support Red Hat 9 version. The latest Red Hat Linux version available is Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3. This is FYI. Please reply on this mailing list. Regards, Satish. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
