It's not important if the mount point is wired or wireless or if it's even available. What is important is the options you use to mount it. I suppose you are using the /etc/fstab file to mount. The options are important. intr allows you to interrupt the mounting so it doesn't 'hang' the boot process.. A better idea is to also add the bg option so if it times out on the first try, the mounting is 'backgrounded' so the boot process can continue.. This is very advantageous to notebooks as you may not be in your wireless network at the time... Try this in your fstab:
192.168.1.50:/your/servers/exported/mount /your/local/mount nfs hard,rw,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,intr,bg,timeo=14 Of course you need to use the proper server ip/mount point (as in the /etc/exports file on the server) This bg option will stop the boot hang if the export is currently unavailable and/or the server is down. The good thing is if the server does come up, it will be mounted without needing to mount it manually or reboot the computer. More options are available... try "man nfs" in the terminal to see. Hope this helps. -- NFS common hangs while booting if the Server are down https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/298170 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
