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

[Wout van Vucht]

Maybe the next thing could be helpful.: I have a NAS-server (nfs3 !) and
I mount on my Ubuntu desktops several shares.

On Ubunt 10.10 this shares where mounted instantly at booting.

Now I am using Ubuntu 11.10 I must wait 1 minute till the mounts are up.
The solution for me was ad the following line to fstab: 
nfsvers=3

Could this be an explanation ??????:
Ubuntu 11.10 tries to make by default a nfs4 mount. If the server has also a nfs4 structure this would not be a problem.
But is the server has nfs3 the mounting succeed only after a while.

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.
