Hey guys, have a little problem, assuming something very obvious im missing.

I've set nfs up on a centos server, I'm attempting to connect clients automatically at boot via fstab

Host - Centos 5.4 - mounted locally at /mnt/SCSI

Client - Centos 5.5 - can mount manually with:
mount axda3hull007031:/mnt/SCSI /mnt/SCSI

current line in fstab:
axda3hull007031:/mnt/SCSI /mnt/SCSI nfs defaults 0 0

With the above in fstab i can mount perfectly fine by typing:
mount /mnt/SCSI

also tried:
axda3hull007031:/mnt/SCSI /mnt/SCSI nfs rw,sync 0 0

But I can't seem to get it to mount automatically at boot. Any ideas?

Thanks :)
 
No different by IP. scanned dmesg for nfs:

Installing knfsd (copyright (C) 1996 [email protected]).
NFSD: Using /var/lib/nfs/v4recovery as the NFSv4 state recovery directory

scanned dmesg for mount:
EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.

scanned for 7031, the ip, SCSI - nothing. also scanned boot log.
 
This is embarrasing -

Netfs service wasn't set to run at any level. I'd got confused with the nfs service.

Argh, sorry for wasting your time. Haven't been around linux too long :(

Thanks :D
