Title:
  Mounting NFS shares at boot fails when NetworkManager is used to
  manage interface

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

Bug description:
  I have a desktop system that was installed as 11.10 and now upgraded
  to 12.04 beta 2.

  NFS mounts specified in /etc/fstab do not work. Booting gets stuck and
  I don't get a graphical login screen. When using recovery mode and
  bringing up the network, the error message I get is "Name or service
  not known" from mountall.nfs. After this, nothing seems to happen, at
  least not for several minutes.

  I was able to work around the issue by configuring eth0 in
  /etc/network/interfaces instead of using NetworkManager as before. So
  the problem seems to be that interfaces managed by NetworkManager are
  not working at the time when NFS mounting is performed. This is a
  regression from 11.10, it used to work just fine before upgrading.

  This is the line from /etc/fstab that defines my NFS mount (slightly redacted):
  xxx.yyy.fi:/vol/zzz /common nfs     rw,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,nodev,hard,intr,bg,tcp,vers=3        0       0

  Note that DNS resolution is necessary for mounting as I don't have the
  NFS server specified in /etc/hosts

  This may be related to bug #862928 (which was about NFS servers but
  otherwise similar).
