problem mounting an nfs partition after installing 12.04.1 LTS

[Jay Ridgley]

Folks,

I just completed upgrading my wife's system to 12.04.1 LTS, no problems were 
reported or observed.

Just prior to the upgrade I backed up her home directory to an archive 
partition. Which is mounted manually as needed via nfs. No problems were 
encountered.

After the upgrade I tried to mount the nfs partition (as a test) using:

sudo mount /big_archive

and received the following messages:

mount.nfs: rpc.statd is not running but is required for remote locking.
mount.nfs: Either use '-o nolock' to keep locks local, or start statd.
mount.nfs: an incorrect mount option was specified

I tried:

sudo start statd
start: Job is already running: statd


I can ping the remote system successfully.  The entry in /etc/fstab for 
big_archive is:

koala:/nfs/cdjsys /big_archive	nfs	rw,noauto	0 0

The mount point exists.

ls -la /big_archive
total 8
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 Jan 29  2010 .
drwxr-xr-x 26 root root 4096 Aug 30 13:31 ..
-rw-r--r--  1 root root    0 Jan 29  2010 **NOT_MOUNTED**

What have I missed?
