NFS hangs on boot

N. Man — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 11:39:53 GMT

Sorry, I'm a .net/web developer and I don't know to many things about Unix so please have patience with me.

I have a problem: I changed the IP address of the network card using "sam" and now the NFS hangs on boot.

Any ideas?

Thank you

Press Ctrl + c twice will break the state and the system will come up.
There will be nfs mount point(s) specified in ur /etc/fstab. While booting system will try to mount all the filesystems specified in /etc/fstab. In your case system is failing there. Check weather your server is able to communicate to the NFS server and mount the file system.

#mount :

eg : # server.com:/home/sree /home

LOL - sorry, but are you sure that you know what you're doing?
Do you want to learn hp-ux in one day?

You can go into single user mode and edit the /etc/fstab. Comment out all lines about NFS - then re-boot should work.

I found the problem ... I didn't change the IP address in the host file.

hi,

you can change ip adress with this command no need to change files manually: set_parms ip_address
