NFS mount fails at boot; netcfg needs to wait for dhcp lease?
I have a feeling this should have been already asked, but my Googlefu is not giving me anything.
My NFS mounts fail to mount at boot; I suspect because I haven't obtained my DHCP lease before 'netfs' daemon is run. Is there a way I can make netcfg wait for the lease before returning for boot to continue with the rest of the daemons (including netfs)?
My DAEMONS:
DAEMONS=( @syslog-ng net-profiles iptables rpcbind netfs @crond @sshd dbus @mpd @xinetd @sensors @smartd @mdadm ptal-init @cupsd @ntpd)The NFS shares mount fine after boot by issuing `mount -a`

Ooops.
Why do they mount fine after boot though? I don't manually start nfs-common.

It doesn't need to use daemons for manual mount nfs directories. I think kernel's module kernel/fs/nfs/nfs.ko.gz perfoms the client function.
About year ago you could write only one daemon nfs-common. Rpcbind is started as dependence.

I used to get around this by putting netfs in POST_UP in my profile - worked fine, apart from initscripts nagging me about using one daemon to start another. 
Alternatively, switch to systemd. which handles this automatically.

I'll try swapping rpcbind for nfs-common and see how that goes.

lol.
