thanks Greg and Dylan, I had it right except for a error in spelling.

I had...

server:/Volumes/share   /media/share nfs  bg,imtr,hard 0 0

intr works much better than imtr

regards, mark

Something like:

server:/Volumes/share   /media/share nfs   (options) 0 0

	BTW, I'd advise using hard mounts as opposed to soft mounts.
	ie. for (options):

		bg,intr,hard,nfsvers=3

	..and if the nfsvers=3 doesn't work, just lop it off.
	But bg,intr,hard are all definitely recommended.

	'hard' will keep trying if the nfs server goes down.

	'soft' will not, and will cause intermittant mount timeouts
	and weird render problems (drop outs).
