[Bug 613825] Re: mountall races with statd startup

[Forest]

On Natty, nfs-common includes an upstart job that could help here,
though it doesn't seem to be used:

/etc/init/statd-mounting.conf

When I change this line in mountall-net.conf:

start on net-device-up

To this:

start on net-device-up or stopped statd-mounting

mountall gets called again after statd has actually started, and my nfs
shares get mounted at startup.  I'm attaching a patch for mountall.

** Patch added: "Trigger mountall-net when statd finishes starting"

Title:
  mountall races with statd startup

Status in “mountall” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: mountall
  mountall version: 2.15

  On my Lucid system with latest updates, NFS filesystems sometimes fail to mount successfully at boot. After a boot where the NFS mounts fail, the mountall process is still running when I log in. Running "kill -USR1 $(pidof mountall)" will then mount the missing filesystems sucessfully. The symptoms are very similar to this bug back in Karmic:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nfs-utils/+bug/445181

  This problem still occurs after applying the patch proposed in
