I have a particular server. It mounts three NFS shares. They mount
successfully upon reboot and stay mounted and accessible.

All good, EXCEPT the mounts are not visible when I type "mount". That
causes my self monitoring scripts to complain and I do not like it.

So, why would a directory be mounted from fstab, but not visible in
mtab?

I am using Ubuntu Gutsy.

Do they show up in cat /proc/mounts ?

Yes, they do. I guess I can use that instead for self monitoring.

Thanks.

This happened to me once when the mounts are done before / has been
remounted read + write.

What strange distribution do you use that mounts nfs before / is mounted
rw ?

Nico

Note : this also could indicate that your / has been remounted RO after
an error. Check dmesg.

I am not sure if your diagnosis is correct. Could be something
else.

That server runs ubuntu gutsy.

Like the Note: that Nicolas wrote, that you snipped, that it could be an
error with the / filesystem, so it's still mounted read-only? Did you
check that / is mounted rw?
