Comment 5 for bug 1515446

This bug has not been tagged before as 'wily' and unfortunately I have created a duplicate bug report of this one, not being able to find it earlier.

A few more observations from my original bug report:

It looks like the network is not up when the mounting is done however systemd dependencies as well as unit files generated from /etc/fstab seem to be OK

$ tail -2 /etc/fstab
# Media Library
disk.lan:/volume1/Library /media/Library nfs rw,async,auto,nfsvers=3 0 0

$ systemd-analyze dot media-Library.mount
digraph systemd {
        "remote-fs.target"->"media-Library.mount" [color="green"];
        "remote-fs.target"->"media-Library.mount" [color="black"];
        "media-Library.mount"->"network-online.target" [color="green"];
        "media-Library.mount"->"remote-fs-pre.target" [color="green"];
        "media-Library.mount"->"systemd-journald.socket" [color="green"];
        "media-Library.mount"->"system.slice" [color="green"];
        "media-Library.mount"->"network.target" [color="green"];
        "media-Library.mount"->"-.mount" [color="green"];
        "media-Library.mount"->"-.mount" [color="black"];
        "media-Library.mount"->"system.slice" [color="grey66"];
        "media-Library.mount"->"network-online.target" [color="grey66"];
        "media-Library.mount"->"umount.target" [color="red"];
        "umount.target"->"media-Library.mount" [color="green"];
        "umount.target"->"media-Library.mount" [color="red"];
}
   Color legend: black = Requires
                 dark blue = Requisite
                 dark grey = Wants
                 red = Conflicts
                 green = After

Despite the correct dependency between "media-Library.mount" and the "network-online.target" looking at the journal log reveals that the network is not yet started when the "network-online.target" is reached.
