This is not really a valid test.  The event-driven startup doesn't
guarantee that the rpc.statd job (/etc/init/statd.conf) has started
before rc.local is run.

Could you please attach /var/log/boot.log from the affected system?

Title:
  NFS not being mounted at boot time - rpc.statd is not running but is
  required for remote locking

Status in “mountall” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Version: Ubuntu SERVER 11.04

  installed nfs-commons

  added this to /etc/fstab:

  192.168.88.252:/repo  /mnt/repos   nfs     rw,hard,intr  0     0

  but I also tried
  192.168.88.252:/repo  /mnt/repos   nfs      _netdev,rw,hard,intr
  192.168.88.252:/repo  /mnt/repos   nfs      defaults,_netdev,rw,hard,intr

  
  with
  mnt /mnt/repos

  it works.

  reboot.

  I don't get the NFS up at boot time.

  I access to the server with SSH, eth0 and network is fine
  no NetworkManager
  no gui

  mount -a

  it works...

  so to debug the issue I added this to /etc/rc.local (before exit 0)

   mount /mnt/repos > /tmp/mounting.$$ 2>&1

  rebooted and I got this in that file:

  
  mount.nfs: rpc.statd is not running but is required for remote locking.
  mount.nfs: Either use '-o nolock' to keep locks local, or start statd.
  mount.nfs: an incorrect mount option was specified


  I can't get NFS being mounted at boot time.
