Does the client machine *need* the server in order to operate? If so then it *must* wait for the server to be up. Otherwise the client won't be able to operate properly. If you don't want the client to wait for the server then you can use the "bg" background option. With that option the client will attempt to mount the server and if the server isn't available it will retry the mount in the background. > I put "defaults" in my /etc/fstab in the NFS line. > Is there a better entry to use? Better is in the eye of the beholder. If you want you can use the "bg" option. See 'man nfs' for details. man nfs Bob
