Even though this tickit seems to be expired, I'd like to add the following.
I've been having the same problem in 12.04. I followed the guide at <https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo> and came up with a complaing nfs service saying that "rpc.statd is not running". I fixed the problem by adding "portmap : ALL" to the last line of /etc/hosts.deny instead of "rpcbind : ALL", and adding "portmap : 192.168.1.251" to the last line of /etc/hosts.allow instead of "rpcbind : 192.168.1.251". 192.168.1.251 is the ip-address of my Synology NAS at home. Replace this with your server's ip-adress, should you decide to give this a try. Everything else in the "SettingUpNFSHowTo" guide is accurate for as far as I can tell. No need to deviate from the guide in any other way. I'm not at all sure why this fixes it, I'm just glad that it does. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1026111 Title: NFS shared folder not available after boot (RPC issue) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nfs-utils/+bug/1026111/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
