on boot, statd don't start without nfs in /etc/fstab

[Pascal Grudler]

Binary package hint: nfs-common

But I use NFS filesystem via automount (autofs5). And this not works without rpc.statd.

I think it's a problem in the upstart job configuration :

root@s19096l:/etc# head -7 init/statd.conf
# statd - NSM status monitor

description "NSM status monitor"
author "Steve Langasek <email address hidden>"

start on (started portmap or mounting TYPE=nfs)
stop on stopping portmap

After I manually launch "start statd", all work well.

Changing /etc/init/statd.conf to read the "start" line like this:

start on ((started portmap and local-filesystems) or mounting TYPE=nfs)

worked for me (no nfs in /etc/fstab but only with automount, and /var in separate filesystem)
