Ever since Mint adopted systemd I've had grief mounting NFS shares at boot. It works /now/ but it was unnecessary hassle.
Ah, I'm guessing it interpreted /etc/fstab and tried to mount the NFS shares before the local filesystem was ready.
It's a nice trick that, but not exactly endearing
No, it ignored fstab completely as far as I know. Of course you may be right, how would I fix that? Everything that worked perfectly well before systemd shut up shop. In the end I had to write a .mount file for every NFS share, then .automount files for each of them, and then put shortcuts to the shares on the desktop. Then after all that rigmarole I had the functionality back that I had before systemd arrived.
Kind regards,
Julian
