You may also want to try adding 'bg' to the mount options in fstab. This will cause the mount_nfs process to fork off and keep trying to mount the filesystem if it can't do it right away. The obvious drawback is that your system may come up in multiuser without the filesystem mounted if your NIS server is a little slow. Furthermore, depending on your situation, you may want to look into using amd(8). > > >Fix: > > Change the order in /etc/rc to mount NFS after doing the ypbind. ypbind is on /usr; what if /usr is an imported filesystem?
