We are running AUX 2.0 (scheduled to upgrade to 2.01 soon) on a Mac II with 8 megs ram and a 140 meg hard disk. One set of directories is mounted from a Sun workstation. When I issue a mount command manually, everything works fine. We put the mount information into the /etc/fstab file and the /etc/sysinitrc file, but the directories don't mount automatically. When I try a mount -a command, nothing happens. I checked and re-checked manuals - it seems that the commands are correctly entered !?! Excuse my fragmented "unix talk", but I have also asked some unix people here about the problem, and they find it strange that the mount -a command is not doing anything. We also tried to issue another mount command and got the message that the directory name was not in the fstab file. But it was there. Any ideas? I am thinking that AUX is looking in the 'wrong' place, that there is a phantom fstab file somewhere, but I cannot find anything of the kind. Thanks in advance; e-mail to jaya@ra.src.umd.edu. *********************************** Jaya Kanal, Systems Research Center U of MD College Park
