Thanks for the reply. For now,I had a work-around of adding mount command in 'rc.local'. BTW, I was testing this on ubuntu-12.04 distro.
Are there any plans of addressing this issue in next release? regards Kiran On Thu, Aug 15, 2013 at 9:50 AM, Gurucharan Shetty <shet...@nicira.com>wrote: > On Thu, Aug 15, 2013 at 9:12 AM, kiran Chunduri <cnvki...@gmail.com>wrote: > >> Hi, >> On my server, i setup NFS mount of remote storage through OVS by creating >> an Internal Port on OVS bridge.
