Bug Description

Hello and thank you for your time on this!

I am testing KVM + libvirt on Ubuntu Server 14.04.1 and need to access lots of ISO files and raw images from a FreeBSD 10.0 NFS server.

Using virt-manager to setup a new NFS storage works well, but when I try to reboot or power off the testing host, it hangs near

"stoping system V runtime compatibility"

for a very long time. I can not tell if the [OK] in the end of the line belongs to it or other upstart stop "task", as the frame buffer implies a very long line on my monitor.

Some times the machine issue some text about "rpcbind -w", but I can not entirely read it, as in that case it reboots or poweroff.

Setting up the NFS mount by hand (/etc/fstab) and telling libvirt to use the mounted directory leads to the same problem.

Trying to ping the host machine from the NFS server does not work while it is trying to reboot.

I am new to Ubuntu Server log ecosystem and can not find useful information about it (may be the log facilities are down when the problem occurs).

I strictly followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo#NFS_Client

and

https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/network-file-system.html

to setup the NFS client.

Once more, thank you for your time!
