 Posted: Mon Mar 20, 2006 7:10 pm Post subject: Automounting An NFS Share [SOLVED] |
 |
|
I have a problem with my Gentoo PC not mounting an NFS share in /etc/fstab at bootup. To mount it I have to su to root and then do: mount <directory>; to get it to mount. I have netmount at my default run-level as well as a Samba share that works perfectly (as in mounts fine) when I boot up, so it just seems to be NFS that is being a pain in the butt.
Here is my /etc/fstab:
| Code: |
/dev/sda1 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 2
/dev/sda4 / reiserfs noatime 0 1
/dev/sda3 /home ext3 noatime 0 1
/dev/sda2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hda /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,user 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,user 0 0
# NOTE: The next line is critical for boot!
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm for
# POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink).
# (tmpfs is a dynamically expandable/shrinkable ramdisk, and will
# use almost no memory if not populated with files)
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0
# Custom stuff!!
//192.168.0.5/music /home/freddie/Music smbfs auto,user,password=,uid=freddie,gid=users,fmask=644,dmask=755,guest 0 0
192.168.0.5:/var/www/Bikeshed /home/freddie/Programming/Web\040Development/Bikeshed nfs auto,nfsvers=3,tcp,nolock,intr,hard 0 0

Thanks for all of your help.

I tend to have all manner of problems getting NFS shares to automount. I have given up on doing it the "proper" way, and now run netmount from /etc/init.d/local (executed from /etc/conf.d/local.start). That seems to work with a great deal of reliability.

| I was considering to put something in /etc/conf.d/local.start, what command do you have in there exactly, I might just have to steal it, that is unless anyone else can tell me how to do it the right way... |

The solution is to add the nfsmount application/daemon to the default runlevel like so:
| Code: |
rc-update add nfsmount default
|
Now it all mounts perfectly at boot. |

Oh. Sorry. I thought you were doing that already and it wasn't working for you. That's my problem.
Glad that fixed it for you, though.

Sorry, I know that this is a different problem, but, how could you share the samba ones at boot time...
I have this on the fstab:
//192.168.0.5/scorms /mnt/cursos smbfs defaults,password='' 0 0
//192.168.0.5/conferencias /mnt/conferencias smbfs defaults,password='' 0 0
//192.168.0.5/conf /mnt/conf smbfs defaults,password='' 0 0
192.168.0.6:/usr/portage /usr/portage nfs defaults 0 0
But I can't share the samba ones at boot time, I have to do it manually!!
I haven't modified the samba configuration files (I don't need the samba server), and I have add the samba service to the default runlevel (although I think that this is only necessary for the server)... |

This is what I have for my samba share:
| Code: |
//192.168.0.5/music /home/freddie/Music smbfs auto,user,password=,uid=freddie,gid=users,fmask=644,dmask=755,guest 0 0

Nothing more needed to be done. Important things that you might need to change are the uid (to whatever user you want to 'own' the files) and of course the mount point and location. The bit that gets it to mount automatically is the 'auto' option, which causes it to be mount at boot time.
Hope that helps. |
