This seems like another basic question because I always assumed that if I threw something in my /etc/fstab then it will be automatically mounted at boot time (unless I put in the 'noauto' option). But my NFS partition isn't getting mounted, here's the excerpt from my /etc/fstab file, split on the whitespace so it's easier to read: nfs_server:/exports/var/www /var/www nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr After the server comes up, I can do a simple, 'mount -a' and the partition is alive. Do I need to use something like autofs? I figured I wouldn't need that since there's no reason to unmount this partition. Thanks, Ajay
