Anyway the big question is how can I change all our NFS mounts so that failed mounts dont prevent the machines booting to the point where they can be fixed remotely i.e. have started sshd.

Doh!! spent ages googling for the answer then found it in 2mins of looking through the man pages.

The option for anyone interested is "bg" for -b from the command line to mount: [quote="man mount_nfs"] -b If an initial attempt to contact the server fails, fork off a child to keep trying the mount in the background. Useful for fstab(5), where the file system mount is not critical to multi- user operation. ... bg Same as -b. [/quote]
