Comment 71 for bug 275451

This bug report was originally filed in 2008. The entire handling of boot-time mounting in Ubuntu has changed radically since then, so the original issue that was being reported is almost certainly no longer present. I'm therefore closing this report.

I see in the bug log that some users are reporting similar symptoms on later releases of Ubuntu that use the reworked boot mounting (upstart+mountall). If you are still seeing such problems with NFS shares listed in /etc/fstab not mounting at boot, even after applying all relevant post-release updates, please file a new bug report against the 'mountall' package so that these can be analyzed individually.
