NFS mount points (directories) inaccessible in RunLevel 3

[djgardner]

I have seen the following issue on several and current Redhat Linux distros. I'd like to understand the problem and avoid it. More importantly, I want to fix the problem on my current server.

As root, I created 5 directories under /mnt and mounted remote directories via NFS. All was well for weeks.

I added a new hard drive (/dev/sdb) and mounted it under /tmp to  move files onto it. I umounted then remounted /dev/sdb1 in it's final location (/web.)

I then restarted the server and found the directory entries under /mnt were not visible and therefore, unable to be NFS mount points. The new drive mounted fine.

I dropped the server into Run Level 2 (from 3) and could see the five directories under /mnt.

This is driving me crazy, thus I am missing something. Can someone identify that something?
