[Bug 1191105] Re: 13.04 Hangs When nfs Mounts Present In /etc/fstab

[Chuck Roast]

Further testing as revealed:

- Other OSs on the failing machine work fine.

  Conclusion:  It is a problem specific to Ubuntu

- Moving the drive that has the instance of Ubuntu that is failing to
another machine, works fine.

  Conclusion: It is sensitive to hardware configuration

- CHANGING THE ORDER OF MOUNTS in fstab, fixed the problem for me!.

  Conclusion: It is some sort of timing/race condition


Try changing your mount order if possible and see if this helps.

Title:
  13.04 Hangs When nfs Mounts Present In /etc/fstab

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

Bug description:
  Prior to 13.04, I routinely mounted nfs mounts from fstab with no
  problem.  As of 13.04, this causes a hang at boot with errors related
  to the system waiting for idmapd and statd to start (which they seem
  never to do).  The NFS server is a FreeBSD 9.1 machine still provided
  NFS3.

  After the system boots, I can mount the NFS mounts manually without
  any problem.
