This poroblem occurs on other unices as well, try using the bg option in your nfs fstab entry. Andy On Sunday 22 February 2015 21:39:13 Pete Travis wrote:

Dear list,
maybe since 2 weeks (close to upgrade to Twenty_One), my nfs shares are
no longer mounted at boot. Claims that the nfs server is not resolvable, but it clearly is. Raised the timeo to 200, but no luck. Hints? Bugworthy?
regards Jens

I use a the systemd automount functionality to mount NFS shares on demand. Use "x-systemd.automount" as one of the mount options and the problem will go away. Bonus, if the network is legitimately down, it doesn't hold up booting.
`man systemd.mount` explains, http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.mount.html .
