Title:
  NFS filesystems are not exported after booting

Status in Upstart:
  New
Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
