I have an NFS share that I want to mount at boot, but cannot mount from fstab because it appears to cause blocking boot problems (centOS 7) (not yet sure exactly why, all I know is that rooting in in emergency mode and commenting out the mounting line in /etc/fstab file fixes the problem (still debugging)).

Is there any other location that I can specify a share to automatiaclly mount that gets loaded at a later time in the boot sequence than /etc/fstab?

    You can use a cronjob but it would be better to find out exactly what the problem is when it's in /etc/fstab. Have you checked the boot log or /var/log/messages/ to see what's happening? Add the particular line in/etc/fstab` to your question. – Nasir Riley Oct 23 '19 at 23:58
  • You could write a systemd service that executes the mount. – FelixJN Oct 24 '19 at 19:25
  • @NasirRiley Found that the /etc/fstab file was not filled in correctly for the affected share (was not including the column values beyond filesystem and mountpoint), but was still curious about alternative mounting options for future reference. – lampShadesDrifter Oct 24 '19 at 19:51

    If that's what it was then that's the solution. As I started before, you can use a cronjob but that's complicating things where it isn't necessary. You want to mount at boot and that's what /etc/fstab is for. – Nasir Riley Oct 24 '19 at 20:30
