Still not working. I've tried enabling it using Network Manager as advised in one forum, and adding options in the fstab to wait until the network is up as on another. My last gambit was to try the advice here:On 30/12/17 17:40, mr meowski wrote:On 29/12/17 21:44, Julian Hall wrote:On 29/12/17 19:10, Julian Hall wrote:julian@Cerce ~ $ sudo dpkg -i | grep autofs [sudo] password for julian:dpkg: error: --install needs at least one package archive file argumentThat doesn't seem to want to play.Whoops - sorry that was me being dumb. Should have been: dpkg -l | grep autofs But I don't think that's going to be installed anyway, or if it is, it's a red herring.No response so I assume you're right on that.The share (and other desktop icon) both already mounted on boot, so I then ran the commands as below:Very quick update.. just come back in and started the computer.. now I have two CASSIOPEIAs on the desktop, a drive icon and a network share icon as in my earlier screenshots.Ok, I think we've established that the problem is a cosmetic one at this point, rather than a functional one. After rebooting your machine is now clearly doing what it's supposed to be doing and is successfully mounting CASSIOPEIA during boot via systemd. You can see it in your copy/paste:â media-julian-CASSIOPEIA.mount - /media/julian/CASSIOPEIA  Loaded: loaded (/etc/fstab; bad; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (mounted) since Fri 2017-12-29 19:03:08 GMT; 20s ago Where: /media/julian/CASSIOPEIA  What: 192.168.1.3:/volume1/CASSIOPEIA  Docs:man:fstab(5)  man:systemd-fstab-generator(8)  Process: 2969 ExecMount=/bin/mount 192.168.1.3:/volume1/CASSIOPEIA /media/juli Dec 29 19:03:08 Cerce systemd[1]: Mounting /media/julian/CASSIOPEIA...

After a fresh boot do: systemctl status mnt-nfs.mount ls -alh /media/julian/CASSIOPEIA systemctl status mnt-nfs.mount You should have both a mounted NFS filesystem as expected and clear success information from systemctl. If not, there might still be a conflicting unit file we need to track down and kill off.julian@Cerce ~ $ systemctl status mnt-nfs.mount â mnt-nfs.mount  Loaded: not-found (Reason: No such file or directory)  Active: inactive (dead) julian@Cerce ~ $ ls -alh /media/julian/CASSIOPEIA total 7.1M *directory listing* julian@Cerce ~ $ systemctl status mnt-nfs.mount â mnt-nfs.mount  Loaded: not-found (Reason: No such file or directory)  Active: inactive (dead) julian@Cerce ~ $ Is that inactive referring to the network again?The problem seems not so much to be that the NFS mount isn't happening now - although you do still need to confirm that - but that your desktop environment is doing something weird. You're using Cinnamon on Mint right?Correct.No to both. I've definitely not created any shortcuts manually. 'Show Mounted Volumes' is turned on and 'Show Network' is off; both must be defaults as I've not touched them. As for how the original three icons got there I assume Cinnamon generated them when the shares were mounted.Is it not the case that you've manually created shortcut icons on your desktop for your three NFS mounts and you've also turned on something like the "show network" and "show mounted filesystems" options in the Cinnamon control panel?ls -alh ~/Desktopjulian@Cerce ~ $ ls -alh ~/Desktop total 22M drwxr-xr-x 2 julian julian 4.0K Dec 29 13:15 . drwxr-xr-x 55 julian julian 4.0K Dec 30 23:19 ..-rw-r--r-- 1 julian julian 2.1M Sep 13 14:00 Dial Up Sound (HD) - YouTube.webm-rw-r--r-- 1 julian julian 227 Oct 27 17:10 speedtest.txt julian@Cerce ~ $ Cheers, Julian
https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/475956-mounting-nfs-not-working-at-bootI created a file in /etc/systemd/system/ named 192.168.1.3:-volume1-CASSIOPEIA.mount with the content
[Unit] Description=/media/julian/CASSIOPEIA Wants=rpc-statd.service After=network.target rpc-statd.service [Mount] What=192.168.1.3:/volume1/CASSIOPEIA Where=/media/julian/CASSIOPEIA Type=nfs
That hasn't worked either. I was a bit unsure of the file name so I also tried Zeus-volume1-CASSIOPEIA with the content changed to match, but no joy. For now I've taken all the options out of the fstab lines and just run sudo mount -a when I boot up. It's a pain but it works.
