I have added this line in the vfstab:


#device device mount FS fsck mount
mount
#to mount to fsck point type pass at boot
options

si-unixbackup01:/backup1 - /backup1 nfs - no
rw

When I do a mountall nothing gets mounted. Is my vfstab correct?
Thanks

You do have a "no" in the field that is checked by mountall.

I do not want this file system to be mounted at boot.
When the system comes up I wanted to manually mount it by using the
vfstab.
is that possible?

mountall uses the mount-at-boot field in vfstab.

Then do that. mountall is automatic, the method used at
boot time.

mount /backup1
