NFS question

izibizi · #1 (**permalink**) 12-22-2004

I added the following lines in /var/etc/init

ifconfig eth0 192.168.10.4 netmask 255.255.255.0 mtu 1400 up
sleep 5
mount -t nfs -o nolock,rw,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 192.168.10.3:/dreambox /hdd
sleep 2

but after boot the NFS is not active.

If I execute the mount line in telnet it becomes active.

I must have it started at boot - how?

check the following thread:

http://sat-industry.net/forums/showt...2&page=5&pp=10

you might find your answer there, there is a suggestion about modifying FSTAB - I haven't tried it tho!

i tried to add this fstab file but still no nfs on startup.

I thought that might be the case!

I saw couple of other threads which talks about editing /etc/var/init or /etc/var/profile but these files don't exist on the DM500, the posts related to DM5620.

I don't really use NFS so I'm not game to muck around with the files.... anyone else tried this???
