Re: exported nfs drive not mounting after reboot

If /tech is a separate filesystem, make sure that it is mounted before
/tech/notes. You may need to re-organise /etc/filesystems to do this.

Also check the network connection and name resolution for serverA. Are both
of those correctly configured at startup?

Subject: exported nfs drive not mounting after reboot


I have some nfs mount points defined between Aix servers and after a reboot
they do not automatically re-mount.
If I just issue a 'mount all' or specifically mount that filesystem it
always mounts, no problem.

Example from lfs output.
Name Nodename Mount Pt VFS Size Options
Auto Accounting
/tech/notes serverA /tech/notes nfs 102400 bg,soft,intr
yes no

Section from /etc/filesystems:
/tech/notes:
dev = /tech/notes
vfs = nfs
nodename = serverA
mount = true
options = bg,soft,intr
size = +102400
account = false

I think this must be a simple issue to resolve but not sure where to start.
