Hi Rob,

Before I proceed, I would like to say that I am no expert on this.
However I had an issue with ubuntu and NFS mounts that I didn't
have to hunt down since I fixed everything and it works.

However while I  was fixing my issues, I noticed that ubuntu
does some hunting during the boot-up process and I 
noticed a couple of files;
Namely nfs-premount and nfs-postmount

As I said I didn't investigate further because I accomplished
what I wanted.

However, my next step would be to search those two
files. What are they and what they do .

hth,

Regards,

s.t.
