I have several boxes with the following line in /etc/fstab: garcon:/export/home /home nfs rsize=1024,wsize=1024 0 0 It works as expected on all my boxes, except for the fastest one, which does not mount /home on boot. I'm guessing the system is trying the mount on /home before nfs has completely woken up. If I ssh into the box and do a: sudo mount -a then all is well until the next reboot. Thanks Drew
