I have this exact same problem. I have been experimenting with solutions for about a month now, with no success. Here are a few thoughts...
_11.10 clients on a 11.04 server running nfs4 DO have the problem. (11.04 clients are OK). _I built a 11.10 server running nfs4 as a test. The problem persists. _Clients on 11.10 nfs4 systems will NOT boot if nfsvers=3 is inserted into the fstab. _As a test, I shut down my LAN firewall. No change. _bootwait in fstab helps the boot problem, but introduces another problem: if more than one client tries to boot at the same time they both freeze. If adding nfsvers=3 to fstab solves the problem, then wouldn't it be logical to assume there is a bug with NFS4? The question would then be: is it an Ubuntu problem, or a NFS problem? In other words, would a different distro behave the same? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/891825 Title: NFS client doesn't mount or mounts slow on startup on 11.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nfs-utils/+bug/891825/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
