To me the best way is not to mount the directory unless you need to. I use autofs to do the mounts for me. That way, when I need to mount the nfs directory, it will automatically mount and unmount the directory. This works whenever I reference the directory, e.g., ls /opt/log. this will cause a mount. I also have a 60 second timeout, so that if I do not use the mount, it will unmount the directory automatically. -- Joseph Loo jloo@xxxxxxx -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
