Comment 63 for bug 275451

System: 10.04 KVM Guest
Guest: Linux 2.6.32-26-server #48-Ubuntu SMP Wed Nov 24 10:28:32 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Host: Linux 2.6.32-24-server #43-Ubuntu SMP Thu Sep 16 16:05:42 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I get the following errors, perhaps every 1 in 5 boots from cold:

mount.nfs: DNS resolution failed for some-host: Temporary failure in name resolution
mount.nfs: DNS resoltuion failed for some-host: Temporary failure in name resolution
mountall: mount /var/blah [587] terminated with status 32
mountall: mount /var/www [568] terminated with status 32

Boot hangs, and will not continue until I do a CTRL+ALT+DEL. (Cold boot does not resolve the issue)

Presumably it's because the network hasn't come up, and/or the KVM boot process to too fast to even initialize/connect the 'physical' interfaces.

Attempts to use _netdev mount option has no affect. We don't use DCHP, or NetworkManager.

/etc/fstab:

some-host:/var/blah/ /var/blah nfs rw,noatime,nolock,intr,noacl,_netdev 0 0
