Comment 3 for bug 875471

I have a fresh installation of 11.10 64 bit. I can confirm that rpcbind is not starting at boot time. In my case, I needed to mount some NFS directories from another server. Since rpcbind doesn't start, statd fails. This, in turn, causes the NFS mounts to fail. I've tried tracking through the rpcbind startup stuff but I'm not very familiar with upstart. As suggested above, the workaround is to start the required services manually from /etc/rc.local.
