If "ncp" is not specified in addition to "ncpfs" Gentoo will attempt to mount Netware shares before the network is up. Line should be : NET_FS_LIST="afs cifs coda davfs fuse gfs ncpfs ncp nfs nfs4 ocfs2 shfs smbfs"
Don't restrict bugs without any reason, please. The checkboxes are not there for fun.
where do you get ncp ? what's the difference between `mount -t ncp` and `mount -t ncpfs` ?
ncpfs is the latest version from portage (version 2.2.6). I can't find any functional difference between "mount -t ncp" and "mount -t ncpfs" in the current version of ncpfs - I've done a bit of digging and it looks like there was an error pre-version 2.2.5 - see point 7 "http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/trench/16445.html" and "ftp://platan.vc.cvut.cz/pub/linux/ncpfs/Changes-2.2.5", hence most of the setup examples I've seen use the former. There is also a warning to use "ncp" in older versions of the ncpmount man page (see "http://linuxcommand.org/man_pages/ncpmount8.html" under /etc/fstab). So probably using ncpfs in /etc/fstab now works and we don't need to make any changes - I'll give it a crack and let you know. Might still be handy to add ncp in though to save anyone else going through the same rigmarole.
Just tried rebooting with "ncpfs" in /etc/fstab - it looks to be working OK. Thanks, Dave.
so i guess "ncp" is just support for old systems ... people should be using ncpfs
