[Bug 848823] Re: nfs-kernel-server requires a real interface to be up

[DJ]

I can confirm this issue. It seemed to have either started after
upgrading to 11.10 from 11.04, or after changing my exports from IPs to
DNS names. Apparently, it was both.

I did see an error message the other day which said that NFS was unable
to resolve DNS, but I couldn't remember where it was. I can't find it in
any of my log files. It must have been on reboot. Where would that be
logged at?

Also, it seems to occur after rebooting. Desktop server. So an exact
match.

I also found, on my laptop, that my ifdown scripts that stopped NFS and
SSHFS connections from hanging when the network connection dropped,
stopped working in 11.10. Do those scripts not get run anymore?
