Hi guys

I cannot mount nfs filesystems through fstab ( RHEL 5.0)

May be i have cleaned too much with chkconfig ?

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.

I'm not sure what you intend to happen using those mount points.

To check nfs use

fraser:/var/spool/mail /mnt/mail nfs bg,rw,actimeo=0

fraser:/usr/local /mnt/local nfs bg,rw

If that mounts then it's the permission you have on /var/spool/mail and
/usr/local

I think it's safer using /mnt/somedir and pointing your apps to
those mount points instead of overlaying system areas. Or send mail
from or retreive mail from the nfsserver into the local machine.
