Long boot time due to NFS mounts

[oshunluvr]

My boot time currently is 1 min 43 secs - about twice as long as 10.04. This error is repeated 4 times during boot:

mount.nfs: Failed to resolve server server: Name or service not known
mount.nfs: Failed to resolve server server: Name or service not known
mountall: mount /shared [1101] terminated with status 32
mountall: mount /backup/home [1106] terminated with status 32

According to bootchart, rpd.statd takes a long while to load.

So either NFS isn't starting soon enough or the order of events is wrong. Anyone else having this issue?

Using the same fstab as 10.04, just way worse results.

network stack starting later then expected. do u have in your fstab them set as net devices? that should hold attempting to boot them untill the network is up.

Use to have to do that in 9.04, 10.04 fixed it, now it's back to the old way. I hate regressions

Yeah, it's not a deal breaker. It's a desktop I rarely reboot anyway. Just thought if was worth mentioning to see if anyone was having the same issue or had a fix

I ran nfs several years ago at work and had speed problems booting up. I had to add
nfs rw,hard,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192
to the mounting command.

Using

rw,hard,intr,noexec 0 0

options, I see no boot delay on Debian, except when I forget to turn on the other box first. :P

Yeah, that what I had. I've had to add _netdev too.

Re: Long boot time due to NFS mounts

Update: Rebooted yesterday and adding _netdev made no difference. I'm guessing it's not network related but rather something with nfs services and their start order.
