Hi,
I am new to Debian; using etch.
I have installed nfs on server and clients. It is functional manually but
does not mount the shares automatically from /etc/fstab.
I have modified /etc/init.d/mountall.sh to mount nfs by changing the 'nonfs'
to 'nfs' in the lines shown below"
mount_all_local() {
mount -a -t nonfs,nfs4,smbfs,cifs,ncp,ncpfs,coda,ocfs2,gfs \
-O no_netdev
}
While booting the error ('Failed' shown in red) is as under:
"Mounting local filesystems."
"mount on nfs Server 192.168.1.7 failed. The Server is is down"
"Failed"
But the server is very much up.
Extract from my /etc/fstab is as below:
192.168.1.7:/home/rsp /mnt/rsp nfs soft,nfsvers=2 0
0
192.168.1.7:/home/shp /mnt/shp nfs soft,nfsvers=2 0
0
After loging-in as a user I can mount nfs by just running command 'mount -a'
on the terminal.
I suspect that the script 'mountall.sh' is executed before the network is
up. And there is no link for starting this script in any of the '/etc/rc?.d'
directories. So I cannot makeout at what stage this script is executed. But
it is executed during boot, for sure. I say this because after reversing the
changes, there is no error but the nfs shares are not mounted still.
What more is needed here?
Any suggestions please?
