[Bug 891825] Re: NFS client doesn't mount or mounts slow on startup on 11.10

[Wout van Vucht]

I have an QNAP TS-239 Pro II with the NFS-server and it has an NFS Access Control (some sort of firewall ??)
Network Share Name:xxxxxxx
Access Right: no limit
Allowed IP Address or Domain Name: xxxxxxxxx

On the server side (QNAP TS-239 Pro II) nothing was changed.
The only change was the change from Ubuntu 10.10 to Ubuntu 11.10.

When I use the same fstab Ubuntu 11.10 as in Ubuntu 10.10 there will be an delay of almost 1 minute to mount the shares.
When I add nfsvers=3, the mounting is direct at booting time as it was in Ubuntu 10.10.

Examples:
192.168.1.130:/pictures /media/NAS-pictures nfs ro,hard,intr 0 0  
This share is mounting in Ubuntu 11.10 after 1 minute

192.168.1.130:/pictures /media/NAS-pictures nfs ro,nfsvers=3,hard,intr 0 0 
This share is mounting in Ubuntu 11.10 direct at booting.

So I think it has nothing to do with an firewall.
There is some change in handling of nfs shares in Ubuntu 11.10.

Title:
  NFS client doesn't mount or mounts slow on startup on 11.10

Status in “nfs-utils” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Here is the problem. I have a ubuntu server 10.04 and installed nfs-server.
  Every client I had till 11.10, would mount the folders at startup. Here is my fstab on Ubuntu 11.10 client:

  ubuntuserver:/media/huge /media/huge nfs rsize=16384,wsize=16384,rw,auto,nolock
  ubuntuserver:/media/externi-disk /media/externi-disk nfs rsize=16384,wsize=16384,rw,auto,nolock

  I have to wait for a minute till these directories get mounted. I have not changed any setup on 10.04 server, the previous 11.04 mounted the disks out of the box.
  The problem is that I have lot of setup files on my server, for example I have a link to pidgin, thunderbird etc. and on startup these programs can't get to their data. Network rises up fast on startup so that shouldn't be a problem.
