I am using a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Server and have used virt-manager to set up an NFS storage repository (located on another machine). On boot the storage fails to mount. First it was failing with "statd not running" and I fixed that by editing /etc/init/statd.conf making this change:

Hi Steve, Thanks for your work on this. Just to make sure you understand (since you mentioned the problem doesn't happen for you). this bug is not just about warning messages... It actually drops you into the rescue shell, and the boot process stops there, waiting for console input. This happens

I was affected by this on my karmic box. My work around was to add "noauto" to the /etc/fstab line for the NFS mount, and then add "mount /path/to/mount" in /etc/rc.local. This means that the directory would get mounted at start up, but at the end. This worked for my situation. -- retry remote d

Russel, This bug is not about trying to mount NFS mounts before the network is up. That's expected behavior, and does not affect the reliability of NFS mounts at boot time. If your eth0 isn't coming up, then of course NFS mounts will fail; you should determine why your network isn't being brough

Actually, I don't have eth0 which is why DNS isn't working and also why nothing will work on the network. So why is the boot sequence trying to mount NFS mounts before the network interface is started? So how do I get the eth0 interface started so that the machine can boot sensibly? -- retry re

The attached patch is sufficient to fix this bug for me in Karmic, but is probably not a very good long-term solution. It simply sets the "ready" flag of each remote filesystem after SIGUSR1 is received, before attempting to mount them all. ** Attachment added: "Mark all remote filesystems "ready"
