NFS/CIFS/iSCSI exports/shares are not automatically mounted at boot on a RHEL client
Issue
- NFS share is not mounting correctly at boot time as specified in
fstab
file. - Unable to mount nfs share at boot time on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5.
-
NFS/SMBFS mounts do not mount when the system boots up, however, running the following command after boot works to mount the NFS or SMBFS shares:
# mount -a
Need to know why NFS mounts didn't mount after reboot.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
- NFS v3
- NFS v4
- Samba filesystem
- Filesystems on block-devices depending on networking (e.g. iSCSI)
