Problems with nfs automount

[Jan Kestens]

Hi all,

I installed a system (HP11.00) which uses automount and nfs. My problem is that during startup the NFSclient fails (NIS client succeeds).

Start NIS client subsystem
Output from "/sbin/rc2.d/S420nis.client start":
----------------------------
starting NIS CLIENT networking
starting up the rpcbind
rpcbind already started, using pid: 589
domainname access
starting up the Network Information Service
starting up the ypbind daemon
/usr/lib/netsvc/yp/ypbind
Checking NIS binding.
Bound to NIS server using domain access.
starting up the keyserv daemon
/usr/sbin/keyserv

Start NFS client subsystem
Output from "/sbin/rc2.d/S430nfs.client start":
----------------------------
starting NFS CLIENT networking

starting up the Automount daemon
/usr/sbin/automount -f /etc/auto_master
FAILURE CODE: 1
mounting remote NFS file systems ...
"/sbin/rc2.d/S430nfs.client start" FAILED

However if I then login as root and redo the "/sbin/rc2.d/S430nfs.client start" command, the NFS client succeeds. I've attached some files which may be of intrest.

Thanks in advance

Hi all,

I found the solution, its seemed that my /home
was still mounted via /etc/fstab.

So I updated /etc/fstab and now the nfs is working fine.
