And I have got it working too, butnot quite to my satisfaction. I will have to experiment a little more. But I it does not appear to be a reiserfs problem. The following fstab entry works on topoi /dev/hdc1 /reiseroffsite reiserfs defaults 1 2 The following one does not: /dev/hdc1 /reiseroffsite reiserfs noauto,user 0 0 So it has to do with the context of the mount. Anyway, having it automatically mounted at boot is not acceptable in the long term because it is a dismountable volume, and, in fact, most of the time it sits on a shelf serving as a backup. > > > When I try to mount topoi:/reiseroffsite onto /reiseroffsite on lovesong, I get > > > > ug 3 17:04:31 topoi -- MARK -- > > Aug 3 17:24:27 topoi rpc.mountd: authenticated mount request from lovesong:89\ > > 9 for /reiseroffsite (/reiseroffsite) > > Aug 3 17:24:27 topoi rpc.mountd: getfh failed: Operation not permitted > > > > Nothins shows up in the log on lovesong. > > Interesting. What kernel are you using on topoi?

Experiment suggests it is something *like* that. Is there some way of getting it mounted at boot if it is present but ignored if it is not? The drive is dismountable, but not hot-pluggable. I have to turn the machine off whenever I insert or remove it. Last time I had a nonexistent partition mounted at boot it went into some emergency mode and refused to finish booting until I fixed to problem. But even so, there ought to be a way to export even hot-ploggable drives. -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
