Thanks!  I dont have any multipath referencing going on - I only ever reference a share at the primairy IP of the server.  

What am I looking for in /var/log/messages?

This returns nothing
# grep mount /var/log/messages*

Is there anything else I should grep for?  

Server 1 has static IP's.  The other IP's are other subnets and I don't think physically connected to the other server.  In any case - the fstab tells mount of mount it from \\192.168.1.9\sharename.

no ldap, just local users.

Looks like autofs is set to start in chkconfig, but I don't think I have every configured anything in it.  atleast not knowing I did.  I just edit fstab.

No idea about pattern.   I hear a lot about autofs - is it better to use?  how steep is learning curve?  Could I easily just move my mounts from fstab to autofs and see if problem goes away?

How often do you need to exit fstab to mount?

Open in new window

I am not clear on this question... what do you mean by "Exit fstab"?

I can say that these mounts are permanent.  They should always be mounted.  There is an app that looks at the files on these mounts every 5 minutes to make sure the file count is rising.  (They are recordings, and the app is an app the warns us if recording starts to fail and thus the file counts stop going up)

Thanks!

app does not try to mount - it just expects the mount to be mounted.  

Ive been so busy I have not looked into this further.... hopefully this week!
