Nfs [solved]
so ive been using NFS for a while now. im finally getting around to figuring out why it doesnt automount at boot..
watching the boot messages, i see a message that is something like "servername: could not be reached. dns lookup failed."
i can mount the shares no problem once its finished booting.
i assume that its trying to mount the shares before the network is up.
anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

Re: Nfs [solved]
you can try adding the ip address of the "servername" to /etc/hosts.

Change the order in rc.conf DAEMONS as required.

i was using wicd. thats where the delay was.
took that out and manually set the ip in rc.conf and it works perfectly.

Problem there is that when you shutdown/reboot, arch will hang because the network is down before it umounts.

Re: Nfs [solved]
huh?
You start network before mounting shares at boot time, you unmount shares before stopping network at halt time. I never have a problem....

Re: Nfs [solved]
hmm, I guess you're right. For me it always hangs on trying to umount the shares, and I think the network is also down by then, when I get the message. But logically it seems that it shouldn't be related to the network, so it must be some other NFS problem.

Re: Nfs [solved]
I have the same problem. NetworkManager is down before nfs tries to umount. Therefore it hangs a good minute or more before halting.
Annoying.
To start I have nfs mount stuff using NetworkManager's dispatcher.
But how can I make umount nfs shares the first thing it does on halting?
