How can I mount an NFS share permanently in SCO Unix Openserver 6.0

Hi,

I am mounting the NFS share to my SCO using the command
mount -f NFS   172.23.200.226:/var/specmedi2 /usr2/meddata
But I want to mount it permanently.
In Linux I can create entry in /etc/fstab, what is the procedure in Unix
Unix OSServer Software

If I remember correctly, then it should be added to /etc/fstab. please check man page of mount command and fstab

I think it's /etc/mnttab   - awful format and may not be directly editable.

Easier to go into scoadmin -> Filesystems -> Filesystem manager -> mount menu -> add mount point -> remote

scoadmin from the cli is a bit odd - use the tab and arrow keys to move around.


An alternative would be to create a startup script in /etc/rc2.d (assuming runlevel 2) name it S99nfsmount with contents:

mount -f NFS   172.23.200.226:/var/specmedi2 /usr2/meddata

I think you have it backwards yuhz.  That post is to share something on the SCO box via NFS.  Mounting of remote NFS shares requires nothing more than a stanard load with network working.
