Hello Thanks to everyone who responded. I received the following answers : * passing "-o bg" is good, differing opinions on other options like soft and timeout. Should be fine. * use a script in rc3 to check whether the NFS server is up ( e.g. using ping ) and refusing to mount if not ( I had considered this before, but just because the interface is up on the NFS server does not mean the NFS service is running, I don't think ping is adequate and I don't want to do more than a couple tests so I want to limit new dev.). * use automount I will likely use the first or last option, automount seems ok but I want to read more about it, since I've never used it in a production system before. The first seems like the safest, and probably what I will do. Automount is quite popular, judging by responses, so I will consider it in the future. Thanks, Rob Helmer _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Tue Feb 26 17:26:28 2002
