Ok, so the following is going on: - local-fs.target is reached, this leads to networking.service being started - networking.service sets up network configuration (takes 172ms) - after networking.service is done, network.target is reached - after network.target is reached, network-online.target is reached (since you don't have any services that wait for the network connection like NetworkManager-wait-online.service, but you also don't need it here, since networking.service with a static configuration and 'auto eth0' will make sure the network is up properly before even network.target is reached, so that's not a problem) - but then immediately after that systemd tries to mount the NFS filesystem - in parallel, first rpcbind and then nfs-common is started This is a bug, that shouldn't happen. Rationale: The problem here is that you are using sec=krb5i type mounts, where rpc.gssd needs to have been started (by nfs-common) BEFORE mounting can take place. Unfortunately, there's no ordering relating nfs-common to remote filesystems, so systemd will start them in parallel and the mount will fail. I myself have never seen this because I've only used sec=sys NFSv4 mounts with Jessie, and those don't require any service to be started when trying to mount them - and while the idmapper may be required to have proper permissions, that can be started later (or not at all if you use the new nfsidmap + request-key logic instead of idmapd). But with sec=krb5i mounts, this is bad, because you need rpc.gssd to mount the filesystems. Mounting it later it will work because rpc.gssd has been started by that point. What's missing here is an ordering dependency between remote-fs-pre.target and nfs-common.service. Searching through the bugtracker, this appears to be the same bug as #775542 [1], that's why I've copied this message to that bug report. Could you try to do the following: 1. create a directory /etc/systemd/system/remote-fs-pre.target.d 2. create a file /etc/systemd/system/remote-fs-pre.target.d/nfs.conf with the following contents: [Unit] After=nfs-common.service And then reboot your system? I would bet it should work then. > So maybe you were correct earlier in this thread, that rpcbind is > started to late? Is there an easy solution to fix it? Maybe by adding > rpcbind to the LSB header 'Required-Start' of nfs-common init script? > I just tried that, unfortunately it didn't help at all. You were on the right track here, but it's not rpcbind itself that's the issue. (See above.) For the bugtracker: there has to be a new ordering dependency between remote-fs-pre.target and nfs-common.service. Ideally, since this is NFS-specific, this should probably go in the nfs-common package, but since at least in Jessie nfs-common is an init script and not a systemd service file, it might be better to explicitly add the After= dependency in the systemd package - whereas for Stretch there probably will be a native systemd unit file, so that's where the Before=remote-fs-pre.target dependency could be added.
