Re: NFS mounts at Boot

Bob,

Yes, I have 'vfs=nfs'.

The type does not need to be specified for nfs mounts. I looked at a
generic "/etc/rc.nfs" on an AIX 5.3 (don't have the 5.2 - See note about
asking for one) and I do not see anywhere that there is a "mount -t nfs"
in there.

Folks,

I have three AIX 5.2 workstations. When I reboot them, they do not
establish the NFS mounts defined in the local "/etc/filesystems".
Mount
is set to "true". The NFS server is defined in the local "/etc/hosts"

files. It is also in the NIS host tables and is defined in DNS.

Any ideas?

Make sure that along with the 'mount = true' that you have 'vfs = nfs'
and
'type = nfs'. The rc.nfs runs a mount -t nfs to mount all nfs type
filesystems
with 'mount = true'

Since you converted, those items may not be there.

hth,
