Hi there, trying to mount nfs-shares at boot I have exactly the problem mentioned by Christian:

Since those systems also > needed to mount NFS... Christian then recommends applying a unit he calls wait-for-nfs-server. My problem now is that if I apply that unit (or do other tricks like a sleep in /etc/network/interfaces the mounts are there after booting, but I have errors like that in journalctl: Jul 14 16:07:02 hhh rpcbind[657]: Starting rpcbind daemon....

To me it looks like rpc.statd gets started multiple times (why?) and that confuses me and the whole nfs mount process. Now the question is: Is that normal or should I worry about it? Do you (Christian) also get such errors in journalctl? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
