I added a mount point using autofs where the whole idea was to automatically mount a network share every time VM boots. However, when I run this command: Workaround: What I’m having to do is run this command after each reboot
Why do I get a delay when I Mount NFS?
I only get a long delay if I try to list the contents of /nfs/mnt, which I can easily avoid. Mount the NFS-share on the clients using the mount-options “bg,intr,hard”. Most important in your case is “bg” for background – which tells the system not to block when the server is not available.
How to use autofs to mount under each users home?
Configure autofs so that the mounts are local to each user but under the same path, so they can each simultaneously access /mydomain/server1 with their own credentials. Configure autofs so that the mount points are under each users’ home folder, so they can each simultaneously access ~/mydomain/server1 with their own credentials.
How to set up NFS file system to mount automatically?
To set up an NFS file system to mount automatically each time you start your Red Hat Linux system, you need to add an entry for that NFS file system to the /etc/fstab file. The /etc/fstab file contains information about all different kinds of mounted (and available to be mounted) file systems for your Red Hat Linux system.
It appears that, after looking through my system logs, fstab is being read before my network interfaces are coming online. Is there any edit I can make to the fstab entry that would alter this? The fstab entry for mounting the share is: It mounts fine after boot when I issue sudo mount -a and there are no other issues with it.
I have a CIFS share on my NAS that I want to have mounted at boot – it’s used by my MythTV server as the main media store. I added an entry into fstab to have it mount but it doesn’t.
How to test the automount-CIFS Mount through fstab?
To test the automount, unmount your share if it’s currently mounted: I am using the Raspbian-Stretch build dated 2017-09-07 and experienced the same issue. However, I was able to overcome this by going into raspi-config and under the Boot Options menu, I enabled the “Wait for network at boot” option. Using forward slashes (/) did NOT fix it for me.
