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

[enedene]

@Steve Langasek yes, it happens immediately, there is no delay for error when doing the "mount -a".
What fixes the problem is as Wout van Vucht said, adding nfsvers=3 to fstab. Then it does load at startup, so it shouldn't be a networking problem, network is up on time.
Is trying to downgrade the package to 11.04 really necessary? I've had Ubuntu 11.04 installed till few weeks ago and had no problems with that version.

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

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

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.
