OK. So I created the keys for each letter in this format: a* -fstype=nfs4,soft,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,tcp fileserver.chem.byu.edu: /export/home/students/a/:&
It still doesn't seem to be mounting the directories as it should and I am not understanding why. The syntax of the key entries appears correct as far as I can tell. Am I missing something?
