    NFS shares no longer mount at boot

    My /etc/fstab includes 3 NFS shares. They mounted fine on Trusty, but after I upgraded to Utopic, they don't anymore.
    I have to sudo mount -a.
    Any ideas?

      What do you need to know? It's a wired connection between my desktop and the NFS server. There's no problem mounting them manually after startup, but I'd rather not have to do that.
      Paths and IP addresses are irrelevant, aren't they? I assume there was some change in the way the system starts up under Utopic. Do NFS shares now need to be mounted at a different time or in a different way?

        There's no possible way to answer any of your questions as you haven't provided even the slightest amount of information. Saying "XYZ doesn't work. Why not?" is not useful.

          easy now... he has a legit issue. It is a problem with the Ubuntu 14.10 release.

          seems the mount is attempted before the tcp stack is up. There is a workaround for now.

                Thanks. I tried the workaround given there (add mount -a to /etc/init.d/mountnfs.sh), but it didn't work for me--although I was already using the IP address rather than a hostname.
                It's good to know they're looking at the problem. I can be patient.

                  This morning's update to the nfs-common package appears to have fixed the issue.
