Maybe it doesn't help much here. It just *could* be that it doesn't have to do anything with the network being up, but with DNS resolution? I have had the problem on one computer (don't know why), and spotted the following line in /var/log/syslog: mount[859]: mount.nfs: Failed to resolve ser

This bug very clearly has nothing at all to do with the BIOS. Christopher, it is inappropriate to ask bug submitters to test with a new BIOS for bugs like this - the BIOS is entirely unrelated to the network filesystem layer, and if upgrading the BIOS did have any effect, it would be *irrelevant* t

Christopher, thank you for your comment on the outdated BIOS version. I completely see your point about good quality of bug reports. It may be some time until I can update our BIOSes, however. These are LTSP servers powering a whole school with 700 every-day users, it's elementary they are stabl

A cleaner way of mounting the nfs shares than Josep provided is something like what I have below. It looks for whether the nfs server responds to a ping rather than the default route and will retry 3 times with a 3 second timeout each time. It also checks all nfs mount points listed in /etc/fstab w

I can confirm this bug on different hardware with completely up to date BIOS and firmware. The race condition we are seeing is being reported from varied sources on different hardware over a significant period of time so I think it is very unlikely to be effected by BIOS of firmware versions. I be

I found what's going on, it looks to me like there is another race condition between upstart and systemd scripts, sometimes rc.local gets to mount some of my NFS shares but other times it doesn't.

This bug has been around for years and we have worked around it by mounting NFS from rc.local. It's not pretty, but it gets pretty old to reboot your system and find it hanging. For some reason the NFS mounts won't wait until networking has completed (i.e. bringing up the interface). I doubt it is

Hey. I seem to experience this bug as well. It definitely feels like a race condition somewhere. I have to reboot my machine 2-5 times each morning to finally get it to boot.
