how to make an nfs share not mount automatically at boot ?

Hi,

subject line says it all. In solaris, there's a vfstab parameter 'mount at
boot' that can be set to no if you don't want the share to be mounted
automatically?

But how can i do it in linux ? i can't find a suitable parameter to put in
fstab.

thx,
tom

For Solaris,

# /etc/vfstab
-------------------------------------------->mount at boot
server:/path/to/share - /mount/point - yes rw,soft

For Linux,

Remove the associated entry regarding that nfs mount or comment out the
same in /etc/fstab.

So the entry in fstab will look like ...

server:/path/to/share /mount/point nfs defaults 0 0

Now, to check that out ....

# mount | grep nfs

Oh, yes! You are right. He just asked for a suitable parameter.

---------------------------------------------->
server:/share /mount/point nfs noauto,ro 0 0

Thanks Hans.
