An interesting NFS mounting problem

[Zhou, Jingchen]

By default, I have the following:
 
ls -all /etc/rc3.d/S99local
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 11 Jun 29 18:41 /etc/rc3.d/S99local -> ../rc.local
 
cat /etc/rc3.d/S99local
#!/bin/sh
touch /var/lock/subsys/local

On one of my systems I have a network card that requires some diddling
during the bootup.   I put the diddling in rc.local as I recall.
That means that my network really isn't up until rc.local has been run.

You don't happen to have something goofy like that going on do you?
Because it sounds like the network isn't completely up by the
time the NFS script starts.

Tried to use IPs on both server and client. Still not working. Thanks.

Make the entry of your clients into your server's /etc/hosts
  vi /etc/hosts
     nfsclient1      *** IP  of client ***

        I am having a problem to mount a NFS volume /home (exported by a
RHEL4 server nfs0) on a NFS client which is also RHEL4.
       
        The server (nfs0) is configured as such
        $ cat /etc/exports
        /home nfsclient1(rw)
       
        and the client (nfsclient1) as such:
        #cat /etc/fstab
        nfs0:/home            /home           nfs     defaults        0
0
       
        When the client boots up, I get the following error message:
       
        "Mounting NFS filesystems: mount: mount to NFS server 'nfs0'
failed: System Error: No route to host."
       
        However, I have no problem to ping the server (nfs0) from
nfsclient1 and I also can mount /home manually via e.g. "mount /home"
from command line.
       
        Am I missing any?
       
        Thanks,
        JC
