Title:
  fstab entry for nfs /home fails to mount on boot

Status in mountall package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  i'm uncertain exactly when this issue started as we use cfengine
  (verifies all expected mounts in place, manually mounts those that are
  not).  from a note i have i believe it goes back as far as lucid.

  the symptom is that an /etc/fstab entry for an nfs-mounted /home is
  not mounted during the system boot. once the system is network-
  accessible, manually running `mount -tnfs -av` as root (or using
  cfengine or any number of other solutions) is sufficient.

  per lp#836533 i added "--verbose" to /etc/init/mountall.conf and will attach the resulting /var/log/upstart/mountall.log and /etc/network/interfaces. the smoking gun appears to be:
  mount.nfs: Failed to resolve server nfs-home: Temporary failure in name resolution
