I as well have been plagued by this problem (NFS mounts failing on bootup) ever since upstart was introduced to Ubuntu.
Not sure why it's so hard to have the network up before things like mount are called, but apparently it is with Ubuntu. I have a fixed IP address in /etc/network/interfaces, tried _netdev as a mount option, forcing the ethernet module to be loaded on boot in /etc/modules, etc., etc. with no luck. The only workaround I have found is to use an IP address instead of a hostname in /etc/fstab. At least one part of the problem is DNS resolution not working properly by the time mount is called. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/275451 Title: nfs mounts specified in fstab is not mounted on boot. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
