Hi guys

Is this ok .

I have no error messages , can mount the filesystem manually

What is worong ?
If you can mount the filesystem manually, then it sounds like your
/etc/fstab entry is incorrect.
Scott

If you can mount the nfs filesystems using the command

mount -at nfs

then the /etc/fstab entry is correct, and you can indeed mount the
filesystems through fstab. If you are simply complaining that the
nfs filesystems aren't being mounted at boot time, then make sure
that the service netfs is enabled.
