What's the right way to mount nfs at bootup?
So I've been away from Ubuntu for the past year, but decided to go back now that the gnome remix is out for 12.10.
I'm having some seriously long stalls if I try to mount my nfs mounts on my centos 6.2 server during bootup. If I manually mount them, they come up right away. Although if I let it try to mount at bootup, it still takes awhile to mount even manually. I can have a browser opened with 10 tabs loaded and NFS still hasn't mounted, so the network's definitely ready by then. It takes about a minute after it's gotten to the desktop to mount the share via fstab.
Right now, I've got it in my fstab like so
192.168.0.9:/data/smb /mnt/smb nfs proto=tcp,port=2049,_netdev,async,hard,intr 0 0
Originally I had it by hostname, but tried doing it by IP, just in case it wasn't resolving that early in the boot process. I have the IP of the server in my /etc/hosts on the ubuntu clients, as well as their IPs in the /etc/hosts on the server. None of that should have been necessary as I have a DNS server with reverse dns for all those systems, but threw that in the hosts files just to make sure.
The proto=tcp,port=2049 in the fstab is recent, I found that in the ubuntu nfs howto, so figured I'd try that, but it hasn't helped.
Network manager has the connection available to all users.
I could do autofs, I just hate using that, since it's so convoluted. Plus under fc17, nautilus would hard lock the system if you left a nautilus window open inside a folder that autofs unmounted while the system was idle. Not sure if that's going to be a problem under ubuntu.
