Hi
I have am trying to get my linux machine to connect to another linux
machine that is setup to export a nfs partition. The server is
configured correctly. Now, on the workstation side I tried to mount the
nfs export but it told me that nfs was not in the kernel so I looked at
the old /usr/src/linux/.config and it said that it was a module. So I
did a "insmod nfs" and that worked. Now I went and edited the
/etc/fstab and put in that it should mount that partition at boot up. I
also put in a line in my /etc/rc.d/rc.local that would load the nfs
module, but the machine tries to mount the nfs export before loading the
nfs module therefore it fails. So my question is how can I get the nfs
module to be loaded earlier? Thanks for your time.
