Red Hat

every day i must type # mount -a in the workstation to mount the directory from the server .

note
1- fstab is very good no problem in it
2- the network in this workstation is stable
3- i check every thing in this workstation but i dont see any problem
4- the O.S RedHat 3u9

every day the user is restart the workstation and called me to type #mount -a
i need to know why this workstation not mount automaticly .

thanks a lot

"I don't see any problem, but I have a problem. What's my problem?"
So much information in your post.

I guess that you have a shared directory, somewhere in your network, and that you're trying to mount it at boot time.

Are you using the _netdev mount option in /etc/fstab, to wait for the network to be ready before trying to mount the remote directory?

If the above doesn't solve, how are your runlevels and daemons configurated?
What does dmesg say about mounts?
Can we see your /etc/fstab, and which is the problematic mount?

Bleeding edge, uh?
