[Bug 891825] Re: NFS client doesn't mount or mounts slow on startup on 11.10

[Steve Langasek]

It is by design that the system does not wait for NFS mount points
outside the FHS directories before starting the desktop; you can
override this behavior by including the 'bootwait' option in the fstab
for these mounts.

Otherwise, I think this most probably points to improvements to the
desktop startup time on your system rather than a regression in nfs-
utils.  If you think there is a regression here, you could try running
mountall with the --verbose option in /etc/init/mountall.conf and
capture the output to a log file, to see if something else is happening,
but I think this is probably not a bug.

Title:
  NFS client doesn't mount or mounts slow on startup on 11.10

Status in “nfs-utils” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Here is the problem. I have a ubuntu server 10.04 and installed nfs-server.
  Every client I had till 11.10, would mount the folders at startup. Here is my fstab on Ubuntu 11.10 client:

  ubuntuserver:/media/huge /media/huge nfs rsize=16384,wsize=16384,rw,auto,nolock
  ubuntuserver:/media/externi-disk /media/externi-disk nfs rsize=16384,wsize=16384,rw,auto,nolock

  I have to wait for a minute till these directories get mounted. I have not changed any setup on 10.04 server, the previous 11.04 mounted the disks out of the box.
  The problem is that I have lot of setup files on my server, for example I have a link to pidgin, thunderbird etc. and on startup these programs can't get to their data. Network rises up fast on startup so that shouldn't be a problem.
