RE: NFS won't mount at boot

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Ok, in a classic keyboard-before-brain scenario, I neglected to do a simple
scan of the boot logs;  

Doing so almost certainly points to the boot order, bringing up NFS before
NIS, (and the NAS authenticates via NIS...)  

So to rephrase my earlier post,

"How do I use chkconfig to start NIS _before_ NFS?"
