Also, because you are mounting this file system via NFS, I believe both entries should be zero. The fifth field deals with file system backups using dump(8) (which would be taken care of on the NFS server itself, not this client machine) while the sixth field deals with fsck(8) order during system boot (which can't be performed by an NFS client). I believe a correct /etc/fstab entry for what you've posted here would be: host:/path /mount/point nfs defaults 0 0 (ie; changing the "1,1" entry to "0 0" -- with no comma) I hope this helps! -- Chris "Build a man a fire and he will be warm for the rest of the night.
