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?
