/etc/fstab nfs mounts are not mounted at startup

[Marco Ceresa]

Pretty much what the title says

NFS mounts in fstab are not mounted at startup. After logging in, I have to manually give a sudo mount -a to properly mount them.

in my case, it's 14.04.4 it's happening with

I can confirm this issue on 16.04, networking is up because a sshfs mount is working before the nfs mount starts. Mounting the nfs share during boot is attempted but times out. I can manually mount the share once the system is up.

This did work in 14.04 (no systemd) from which I upgraded.
