Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: mountall
mountall sometimes tries to mount NFS filesystems before rpc.statd has
started. When this happens, you get an error on the console like this:
mount.nfs: rpc.statd is not running but is required for remote locking.
mount.nfs: Either use '-o nolock' to keep locks local, or start statd.
mountall: mount /net [402] terminated with status 32
mountall: Filesystem could not be mounted: /net
It seems the problem is that the statd upstart job is started on
"mounting TYPE=nfs", but mountall doesn't wait until statd is started
before attempting the mount. This becomes a race condition. If statd
may or may not be started by the time the mount is attempted. It's easy
to expose the race condition by adding a "sleep 1" immediately before
the "exec rpc.statd" in /etc/init/statd.conf.
Eventually the nfs filesystem does get mounted (looks like there is some
retry behavior), but it does result in errors being printed about failed
mount attempts.
