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

reading it looks like nfs tries to start first than network Shares are never mounted...any idea how to fix that

similar issue for redhat

Sorry, but I got confused to see your post. Which one is NFS server and which one is NFS client. Does the issue occur when you reboot the NFS server or the NFS client?

Do you mean to say that the NFS service does not start after rebooting the NFS server even though it's turned on for that runlevel?

the server that won't mount shares at boot up is the NFS client....NFs server is a Storage

Have you added an appropriate entry to /etc/fstab on the NFS client?

yes it's added like I said when I type mount /share1 it automatically mounts the /share1 since it reads fstab in order to mount it

You had never said that!

Did you check the logfiles for problems during booting?

Can you show the relevant fstab entry and the output of who -r, chkconfig --list nfs and service nfs status (preferably just after a reboot).

of course

I've already checked logs and I see nothing I am attaching them here too dmesg.txt and messages.txt


Code:
tsm:~ # who -r
         run-level 5  Jul 24 01:32                   last=S
tsm:~ # chkconfig --list nfs
nfs                       0:off  1:off  2:off  3:on   4:off  5:on   6:off
tsm:~ # service nfs status
Checking for mounted nfs shares (from /etc/fstab):                                                                unused

Now I check my filesystem after I just rebooted
tsm:~ # df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/Vol_Group-vol_root
                       26G  231M   26G   1% /
devtmpfs               32G  164K   32G   1% /dev
tmpfs                  32G   88K   32G   1% /dev/shm
/dev/sda1             495M   59M  436M  12% /boot
/dev/mapper/Vol_Group-vol_opt
                       52G   33M   52G   1% /opt
/dev/mapper/Vol_Group-vol_tsmDB1
                       53G   33M   53G   1% /tsmDB1
/dev/mapper/Vol_Group-vol_tsmDB2
                       53G   33M   53G   1% /tsmDB2
/dev/mapper/Vol_Group-tsmdb2archivelogs
                       53G   33M   53G   1% /tsmdb2archivelogs
/dev/mapper/Vol_Group-vol_usr
                       18G  2.8G   16G  16% /usr
/dev/mapper/Vol_Group-vol_log
                      8.0G  120M  7.9G   2% /var

Now again but after invoking mount -a NFS shares mounted
tsm:~ # mount -a

IMPORTANT: If I restart nfs it will mount shares automatically too

tsm:~ # df -h
