Bug Description

Binary package hint: initramfs-tools

In Ubuntu 6.06 NFS shares are mounted by /etc/network/if-up.d/mountnfs as soon as the network device comes up. But if the root system is on NFS as well, network devices are already set up by early user space and /etc/network/if-up.d/mountnfs is never called. As a consequence NFS shares in /etc/fstab (other than /) are not mounted on boot-up.

Err, this isn't correct.

The network interface will be up, but the state of that interface will still show as down -- ifup should still be run on that interface, running dhclient for it (the temporary lease obtained at boot doesn't have a daemon to keep it), and the post-up scripts still run.

If you have missing mounts, this is more likely bug #46516
