Why does the command 'mount -av' report "nothing was mounted" for external filesystems such as GFS2 and NFS even though it does mount them?
Issue
- When using
/etc/fstabto mount external filesystems such as GFS2 or NFS, the command:
# mount -av
returns a value of "nothing was mounted", even though the external filesystem is mounted.
