I've just installed an external SCSI hard drive in the form of a sun StorEdge. All is working well. The StorEdge has two drives called da0 and da1 respectivly. I've put entries into /etc/fstab so that they are mounted on boot as /s and /t. My question is....... If I dont have the StorEdge running 24/7 and I reboot the server, the boot process fails when mounting the file systems as /s /t can not be reached. Is there anyway of writing an automount line in fstab that is smart enough to know that if the /s and /t are not reachable then continue with the boot process without stopping. My fstab enty is... /dev/da0s1d /s ufs rw 0 0 I see that the cdrom has the entry /dev/cd0 /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 Is it simply a case of changing the mount option to rw,noauto ?? --------------------------------- Try the all-new Yahoo!
