rc.local issue with mount

[stuaz]

Hello,

I am attempting to use rc.local to run a command to mount a drive using the following command:

/bin/mount -t cifs //<IP ADDRESS>/<DIRECTORY> --verbose -o user=USER,pass=PASS,dom=DOMAIN /mnt/ntserver

When I place it in the rc.local file and execute the rc.local file it works with no issues and mounts the drive fine. However If I save the output to a file and reboot the server I get the following error message, and it doesn't mount:

Log of /bin/mount -t cifs //<IP ADDRESS>/<DIRECTORY> --verbose -o user=USER,pa
ss=PASSWORD,dom=DOM /mnt/ntserver
Thu Mar 19 12:48:02 2009

parsing options: rw,user=USER,pass=PASSWORD,dom=DOM

mount.cifs kernel mount options unc=//<IP ADDRESS>\<DIRECTORY>,ip=<IP ADDRESS>,v
er=1,rw,user=USER,pass=PASSWORD,dom=DOM
mount error 113 = No route to host
Refer to the mount.cifs( manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)
/bin/mount died with exit status 255

The route to host message is normally displayed when no network card is present or functioning - but I thought rc.local was the last thing to run?

rc.local is the last file to be executed. Sounds like there is a delay somewhere.
