i have a mailserver running 4.0-release and its mailboxes are on an NFS mounted directory. when the machine boots, it does not successfully mount the mail directory with the entry
172.16.16.6:/Volumes/Xserve\ RAID/mail /var/mail/virtual nfs rw,nodev,nosuid 0 0 giving several fstab: /etc/fstab: Inappropriate file type or format messages when mounting partitions on boot. this is odd since, AFAICR, this worked fine to mount NFS when this machine was 3.9-release about a month ago. additionally, the directory mounts fine when issuing mount_nfs -o rw,nodev,nosuid /Volumes/Xserve\ RAID/mail /var/mail/virtual after the machine has booted. do note that the faq ( http://openbsd.org/faq/faq6.html#NFS ) suggests adding the same type of entry to /etc/fstab as quoted above: 10.0.0.1:/work /mnt nfs ro,nodev,nosuid 0 0 any ideas on what is going on here? cheers, jake
