My problem is now fixed. Now, now, I know it was not the most brilliant

question one could ask but, hey! I didn't know so... :-)

I never managed a machine that did not start /etc/init.d/nfs.server

automatically so...

What happened is the machine is somewhat recent and I filled out the share

table (/etc/dfs/dfstab) after the last reboot. The the dfstab file is empty,

the machine does an init level 2 only, therefore not running

/etc/rc3.d/nfs.server. This script start mountd and nfsd that are needed to

share partitions (but not to mount).

I fixed that by running /etc/init.d/nfs.server manually. Since I have entries

in my /etc/dfs/dfstab file now, next time I reboot, the init should go into

level 3 automatically.

I know this now 'cause of the helfull tips of:
