You can define a mount so that a specified directory is mounted Now (current), At Boot, or both Now and At Boot.
It is possible, therefore, to have a situation in which the properties for mounting At Boot are different from those for mounting Now. When this happens, the Mounts/Shares tool displays a Mount Status of **In Conflict**.
In most cases, it is desirable to keep your mounts in synch, so that mounts Now and At Boot share the same properties.
In the Mounts/Shares tool, when you double-click a mount, the mount Properties dialog opens. If the mount you double-clicked is in conflict, you are asked which set of mount properties you want to view.
To resolve a mount conflict, click the desired mount, and then click Action->Resolve Conflict. You are asked which set of mount properties you want to use; the properties you choose will then be used for both the Now and At Boot properties for that mount.
Note: Solaris stores At Boot mount properties in the /etc/vfstab table, and Now mount properties in a dynamic pseudo-table called /etc/mnttab. This latter table is generated by the mount command, and should not be edited directly.
Also note that, on rare occasions, a set of At Boot properties may become invalid. This can occur, for example, if a share is defined At Boot with the WebNFS option disabled, but is then mounted At Boot with the WebNFS option enabled. If this happens, and you use the At Boot properties to resolve conflicts for the mount, the resolve conflict operation will fail. In such a case, use the Now properties instead.
