Hello..

I have som problems auto-mounting my shared directory over my diskless network.
the line in fstab looks like this:

192.168.0.11:/usr/portage /mnt/nfs_portage nfs ro 0 0

and it does not work. But if i mount it with:

mount -t nfs 192.168.0.11:/usr/portage /mnt/nfs_portage

it mounts perfectly.. So why can't i automount?

supertuffe,

Try ro,bg,rsize=8192 in the options field

Problem solved..

All i had to do was emerge nfs-utils and auto-mounting worked like a charm
