Hi everybody, I have a small suggestion concerning the /etc/rc script. I find it pretty annoying that the nfs mounts are done *WITHOUT* verbose mode. E.g. we have some nfs problem here on our group server which seems to appear only at boot time and cannot be repeated in multi user mode (but it has some subtle consequences then - sure :-). However mount does not show mount point information when displaying error messages! Syslog messages are not generated either! So without '-v' one does not have a chance to trace down the problem. So to say: the error messages generated by /etc/rc (when one has more than one mount point) are usesless without the 'mount -v'. This is especially true for servers which one boots only when absolutely necessary! And even more in heterogenous environments! So I suggest to change the nfs mount in /etc/rc to 'mount -v -a -t nfs'. best regards Jan Conrad -- Physikalisches Institut der Universitaet Bonn Nussallee 12 D-53115 Bonn GERMANY To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
