botched mount point side-effects are undesirable...

i think noboot wait is following the two '0' symbols. it's at the end of the line.

i think i have to adjust the permissions on the server to use it though.

everything seems to be working as it should but i have some more work to do on the server side of things.

i am marking this one solved.

thank you vinny.

glad it seems to be working BUT the mount line in fstab should look like this

192.168.10.1:/home/storage /home/alonzo/WewelsburgStorage nfs rw,user,hard,intr,nobootwait 0 0

not

192.168.10.1:/home/storage /home/alonzo/WewelsburgStorage nfs rw user,hard,intr 0 0 nobootwait

the 2 0 0 's should be the last thing in the line

thank you vinny,

that cleared up some minor problems with respect to mounting a usb dvd-rw i had not mentioned.

but my reintroduced my original issue with the desktop reverting to kde plasma workspace from plasma netbook.

my speculation is that mounting the server preempts the choice of plasma netbook with plasma workspace.

i am not sure how to solve this. i may just have to live with it, ask the question in another forum, or try another approach.
