For me yes. It does affect NFS since most of mine happen via automount.
Right after startup, I do these as root:
#!/bin/sh
#
# Shell script to stop/start important services
#
/etc/rc.d/init.d/autofs stop
/etc/rc.d/init.d/ypbind stop
/etc/rc.d/init.d/portmap stop
#
/etc/rc.d/init.d/portmap start
/etc/rc.d/init.d/ypbind start
/etc/rc.d/init.d/autofs start
In general, should we change the initialization sequence to fix this ?
