How to Mount NFS Share Permenently

[raji10k]

Hi Frndz

Hear I halted with a Problem, I created a nfs share in sys-1 and I mounted sucessfully in sys-2 and for perment mounting I entered the following syntax in sys-2's "cat /etc/fstab"
"200.200.2.54:/moon /sun ext3 defaults 0 0"
but after reboot its getting failed.

So any one Plz help me

Thanks in Advance

notice your filesystem is not ext3 ..
try nfs better.

use fstab mount nfs sharing is not a good idea. try automount services --> autofs

Make sure you have installed. autofs package.
Open /etc/auto.master file

Add a entry in file.

/directory /etc/auto.directory

Create a file /etc/auto.directory

Open the newly created file and add entry

directory -fstype=nfs directory:/path/to/directory

replace directory with directory name.

Follow this guide for extra details.
