It appears your network interface is  either not coming up during boot
or your routine table is not set when NFS tries the mount. Is there anything
in /var/log/message that is complaining about something?


Comment 2 Patrick Steiner 2005-08-18 12:45:01 UTC
i cant find anyting in the log file.

the only thing is that i cant ping the nfs-server at boot time (added an ping -c
nfs-server into the netfs boot script).



Comment 3 Steve Dickson 2005-08-18 13:37:57 UTC
Would it be possible to get an network trace of this occurrence?
Probably the easies way would be from the server side.

If the server is Linux use:
'tethereal -w /tmp/data.pcap host nfs-client ; bzip2 /tmp/data.pcap'

if the server is another OS, see if the tcpdump command exists. If
so do a 'tcpdump -s 0 -w /tmp/data.pcap ; gzip /tmp/data.pcap'

I am seeing this, too on EL4 U5:

/var/log/messages:
Oct 18 14:33:53 test1-ent network: Netzwerkparameter einstellen:  succeeded
Oct 18 14:33:53 test1-ent network: Loopback Schnittstelle hochfahren:  succeeded

Oct 18 14:34:19 test1-ent netfs: Andere Dateisysteme einhängen:  succeeded  

A tcpdump on the server seems useless because the request is not send out as the
message states.

After boot the mount succeeds:

[root@test1-ent ~]# mount -av
