/tmp files wiped out after NFS mounting -- settings lost

[garp99]

(Werner, this is what I reported in the beta section)

After doing the firmware upgrade (beta and official), I install Lundman's telnet and the start.cgi index replacement.
So far no problem, all as expected.
Contents of /tmp include files like:

Code:

# ls -al /tmp
drwxr-xr-x    3 root     root            0 Jan 22 00:15 .

The next command I run is my modified start_app.cgi file which will test to see if telnet is running, if not then start it.
I also test for the 2nd PCH unit and my NAS with Ping before I check if they are already mounted.
If servers are up and not mounted, my script (basically) does the following:

Code:

NAME_NAS="Movies1080"
NAME_PCH="NFS-Popcorn"      
IP_NAS="192.168.1.99"      
IP_PCH="192.168.1.22"
NWS="/opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/NETWORK_SHARE"
NAS="$NWS/$NAME_NAS"                                    
PCH="$NWS/$NAME_PCH"

echo "${IP_PCH}:/share      $PCH nfs rw,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,timeo=14,intr 0 0" >> /etc/fstab
echo "${IP_NAS}:/${NAME_NAS} $NAS nfs rw,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,soft,nolock 0 0" >> /etc/fstab
mount -a

Now if I look to see if they are mounted...

Code:

# ls -al /opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/NETWORK_SHARE
drwxr-xr-x    6 root     root            0 Jan 21 23:25 .
drwxr-xr-x    5 531      500             0 Jan 16 01:11 ..
drwxrwxr-x   35 guest    nmt         53248 Jan 19 12:02 Movies1080
drwxrwxrwx    2 root     root            0 Jan 21 22:44 NETWORK_BROWSER
drwxrwxrwx   15 nmt      nmt          4096 Jan 21 20:51 NFS-Popcorn

You can tell by user guest and nmt that they are mounted.
Now if I look at the contents of /tmp again...

Code:

# ls -al /tmp
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root            0 Jan 22 00:20 .
drwxr-xr-x   19 root     root            0 Jan 22 00:20 ..
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root            0 Jan 22 00:20 nmt_ftp
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root            0 Jan 22 00:20 nmt_mi
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root            0 Jan 22 00:20 nmt_nfs
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root            0 Jan 22 00:20 nmt_smb

What could have caused the files to disappear -- some program crashed (no core dump file found) ?

To get things back to normal I need to re-install firmware, but what caused the problem?
Suggestions please!

Sorry, but I don't know the answer, but I want to thank you for the above script, it helped me with automounting!
