Hi,

The last lin in my /etc/fstab file is:

nnn.nnn.67.101:/home/t4 /home/t4 nfs nfsvers=3,bg 0 0
(Replacede real IP with nnn)

When I boot the PC it does not mount the export from the server and in the messages file i find:

After boot the ‘mount -a’ command does mount /home/t4 without any error.

I tried severall variations to the switches in the fstab line (like defaults) but witout success.
I had problems like this in previous versions of opensuse, but in this case I can not find a workaround.
Unless made an error here I think this is a serious bug.
Mounting exported nfs filesystems at boot is one of the basics of UNIX/Linux after all…

Any ideas?

Regards,
Nico

In the Yast’s Networksettings, edit the networkdevice properties, and set in to be activated “at boottime” instead of “on cableconnection”.
And please, post output between CODE tags, the # in the editor.

You need the option _netdev

Thank you both,

Sorry for not using the code tags. I loked for them, but was in a bit of a hurry.

I opened yast -> networksetting (had to switch back from networkmanager to ifup)
There are 2 interfaces here em1 and eth0. em1 is the first in the list and was unconfigured, so I configured it.
And now it works (setting is to start at boot). But it is still strange. AFAIK the system only has one interface.
There is only one socket at the back too.

It is a Dell optiplex 9010 (here at my work).
Anyway, I have to continue. Thanks again.
