We have an entry in /etc/fstab that looks fairly basic

Looking here and compare to what I have, I think there should be more options here, but doubt it should change anything, but always worth to test.

10.0.1.125:/mnt/backup1/ /mnt/backup nfs default 0 0


It does not mount on boot, and needs to be mounted by hand, which
disrupts out backups in a rare occasion of a reboot.
You need to enable the net mount service

chkconfig -level 35 netfs on

default init was changed from 5 to 3 vi /etc/inittab, and netfs indeed
was not in rc3.d

There is progress, but still doesn't mount :) Running S25netfs by hand
does it though.

You have all what's needed for a proper nfs client turned on, is the network started before netfs? you can look into /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/, the values after S should be higher the later in the bootup sequence something is started.


xfs 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off

As far as I can remember, this is the fontserver for X Windows System, as long as you don't supply fonts for other computers in the network here, then you don't need to run it on any other runlevel than 5.


iptables 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:off 4:on 5:off 6:off

You know that you turned off the "firewall" on the machine?


xinetd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off

As you aren't running any services handled by xinetd, you can turn this one off on all runlevels.
