I'm having the exact same problem since updating to netbase 5.0 and ifupdown 0.7~rc3 Booting is taking around 10 minutes as it tries to map the four nfs4 shares i have on my server. After it gets the timed out messages it boots normally and the shares are connected fine.
Information during boot: Configuring network interfaces...Starting rpcbind daemon... Starting NFS common utilities: statd idmapd. mount.nfs4: Connection timed out mount.nfs4: Connection timed out mount.nfs4: Connection timed out mount.nfs4: Connection timed out and i can replicate this by running: ifdown -a --exlude=lo ifup -a --exlude=lo which returns the following after around the same time it takes to boot: Starting rpcbind daemon...Already running.. Starting NFS common utilities: statd idmapd. mount.nfs4: Connection timed out mount.nfs4: Connection timed out mount.nfs4: Connection timed out mount.nfs4: Connection timed out
