[Bug 862928] [NEW] NFS filesystems are not exported after booting

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I have an 11.04 Natty system that was upgraded from earlier releases.
It exports several filesystems via NFSv3 for use by other machines on
the local network.  When I boot the machine, those filesystems are not
exported by default.

Immediately after logging in after a reboot, I can get a terminal and
run "showmount -e", which shows no filesystems exported.  If I then run
"sudo exportfs -rv", it exports them without trouble.

The problem is that it doesn't do this by default.  E.g. after a
powerfail, it won't restart by providing the filesystems; I have to
export them manually!  What good is a server that doesn't serve?

In investigating other bugs relating to network service startup, I
thought the problem might be that it tries to export to these hosts
before DNS is available.  So I installed bind9 and made it a secondary
server for the relevant domains.  Thus, it should be able to resolve
domain names even before the network comes up.  That didn't help.
