Public bug reported:
I upgraded my server to Natty and now the two directories that this
server exports to various other machines on the network, do not get
exported during an ordinary bootup. However, after startup, if I run
"exportfs -av" on them, they export just fine.
/var/log/syslog shows:
Jul 5 16:17:54 om exportfs[1585]: name1.frob.com has non-inet addr
Jul 5 16:17:54 om exportfs[1585]: last message repeated 3 times
Jul 5 16:17:54 om exportfs[1585]: name2.frob.com has non-inet addr
Jul 5 16:17:54 om exportfs[1585]: name2.frob.com has non-inet addr
(I've replaced the actual names with name1.frob.com and name2.frob.com).
The problem appears to occur because NetworkManager is still in the
process of bringing up the network interface (according to other
interleaved syslog reports). These hostnames need DNS from another
server to resolve them.
The root cause of the problem appears to be that Natty doesn't make the
nfs-kernel-server service wait until the first Ethernet comes up. Thus,
nfs-kernel-service can't resolve domain names in the /etc/exports file,
and it produces this very confusing message and doesn't actually export
the filesystems.
