Include “user=” and “password=” in the mount options.

Thanks for response,
Initialy I’ve used username=…, not user.
Now the sintax is as follow:
nas:/backup /bk_nfs nfs user=nasusr,password=naspassword 0 0
but mount - a returns:
mount.nfs: an incorrect mount option was specified
I’m not able to find the related documentiations

Sorry, try replacing “user=” with “username=”.

Sorry, I’ve found my mistake…
I’m was trying to mount NFS, but the remote fs is cifs…
A stupid mistake that makes me waste time.
The right sintax:
nas:/backup /bk_nfs cifs user=nasusr,passwd=naspassword 0 0
I’ve already read the man and other :-), of course.
Thanks,
Fabrizio
One upgrade.
Now mounting from fstab is working using command mount -a, but not at boot.
May be some services are not ready at mount time.
Probably Cifs or DNS (The mount is with cisf’s server name and not with IP address, only one dns is available and it’s on the same server). I’ll’ do some test when I can restart the server.
