Everything was happy and started up fine. But I just had to reboot it and discovered that the nfs mounts are failing during boot. When it gets to that point in the boot process, the system just sits there trying to mount and timing out, repeatedly. If I set those mounts to noauto the system boots fine, and I can mount them manually without a problem. So obviously something has changed on the network in the 6 months or so since last boot that is preventing automatic nfs mounts. But once the system is up there is no problem. What could have this effect on NFS? Thanks for any ideas, Dave -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Dave Walton dwalton@acm.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
