I mount my SMB shares from /etc/fstab on a FBSD 8.x production machine like this:
//u...@winserver/SHARE /mountpoint smbfs rw 0 0 The problem is that after an outage, "WINSERVER" doesn't come up before the FBSD machine. So, the FBSD machine tries to boot and then hangs permanently because it cannot get the SMB share points mounted. This recently happened after a catastrophic power outage that cooked the share info on "WINSERVER". Even after it came up, it was no longer serving the proper shares and the FBSD machine could never find the SMB shares and thus hung permanently. The SMB mounts are not essential for systems operations. Is there a way to tell the FBSD to try and mount SMB, but keep going and complete the boot if it cannot? -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tim Daneliuk tun...@tundraware.com PGP Key: http://www.tundraware.com/PGP/ _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
