NFS not mouting at boot
hi guys
I have a server suse 11 two IP different segments
one IP is point to point to NFS Storage.
Administration IP: 10.7.10.100
NFS-Storage IP: 192.168.10.50
weird thing is I defined the NFS I can mount them using mount -a but when I reboot the server the NFS mount points are not there and I have to manually mount them again by mount -a
update---
I just discovered if I start the nfs service it will mount the NFS shares automatically but the weird thing is
chkconfig shows nfs is on
any idea why?
thanks a lot

rpc.nfsd
rpc.nfsd(8) System Manager's Manual rpc.nfsd(8)
NAME
rpc.nfsd - NFS server process
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd [-p port] nproc
DESCRIPTION
The rpc.nfsd program implements the user level part of the NFS service. The main functionality is handled by the nfsd.o kernel module; the
user space program merely starts the specified number of kernel threads.
The rpc.mountd server provides an ancially service needed to satisfy mount requests by NFS clients.
OPTIONS
-p port
specify a diferent port to listen on for NFS requests. By default, rpc.nfsd will listen on port 2049.
nproc specify the number of NFS server threads. By default, just one thread is started. However, for optimum performance several threads
should be used. The actual figure depends on the number of and the work load created by the NFS clients, but a useful starting point
is 8 threads. Effects of modifying that number can be checked using the nfsstat(8) program.

rpc.mountd(8), exportfs(8), rpc.rquotad(8), nfsstat(8).
