You can use the "noauto" option, and spawn a background job to mount them in a minute. E.g., fstab: ------ flakey:/ /nfs/flakey nfs defaults,soft,noauto 0 0 /etc/rc.boot/local: (or wherever you put these things) ------------------- # Mount flakey soon. echo mount /nfs/flakey | at now + 1 minute Works for us; if you don't want to be emailed when it fails you can redirect 2>/dev/null.
