Bug Description
Happening on every boot since LMDE UP5 upgrade :
The boot process hangs when starting NFS services when there is a NFS mount specified in /etc/fstab.
The hang lasts until a timeout happens after about 5/6 minutes.
The following messages are displayed :
"
Configuring network interfaces...
Starting NFS common utilities...
mount.nfs failed
"
After the timeout, the boot process continues normally. The NFS mount seems to be automatically mounted at a later time.
Commenting out the line in /etc/fstab resolves temporarily the issue.
The same problem has already been reported in Linux Mint forums : http://
It seems like mount.nfs happens although there is no network connection... (not sure about this part).

I can verify this behavior in LMDE with Update Pack 5 installed. If a nfs share is listed in /etc/fstab there's a several minute stop during bootup, then a mount.nfs timeout message and then the machine continues to boot up. The share actually does get mounted and is available.
Also, for 'every' nfs share listed in /etc/fstab there's a several minute lag during bootup.
LMDE machines running Update Pack 4 and with the same configuration do not experience this false timeout problem.
A number of other LMDE users are also experiencing the exact same problem after updating to UP5.
