Hello, When I boot my machine, I often get something like the following : Starting NFS mountd: [ Failed ] immediately after the booting process finish, I can issue "service nfs restart" as root and then NFS starts correctly. Any idea what might cause this ? Here is from my /var/log/messages during boot: Jul 26 09:07:28 defiant exportfs[2520]: /etc/exports [1]: No 'sync' or 'async' option specified for export "192.168.0.100/255.255.255.0:/home/multimedia". Assuming default behaviour ('sync'). NOTE: this default has changed from previous versions Jul 26 09:07:28 defiant kernel: Installing knfsd (copyright (C) 1996 okir@xxxxxxxxxxxx).
