The code helps when there are multiple NFS mounts from the same host in fstab, and the server is down when you boot the client. -- Dick Streefland //// Altium BV dick.streefland@altium.nl (@ @) http://www.altium.com --------------------------------oOO--(_)--OOo--------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
