Mounting NFS at boot.

I have searched for the solution to the problem I am having and have found no help, hopefully the masters of ARCH will help me.

I am unable to mount my NFS share at boot, but once I am able to ssh into the system I can perform a sudo mount -a and it mounts perfectly fine. when I review journalctl -b i see the following errors:

Mar 05 19:32:42 mars systemd[1]: storage-data.mount mount process exited, code=exited statu
Mar 05 19:32:42 mars systemd[1]: Failed to mount /storage/data.
Mar 05 19:32:42 mars systemd[1]: Dependency failed for Remote File Systems.
Mar 05 19:32:42 mars systemd[1]: Unit storage-data.mount entered failed state.

thanks in advance for the help.

Please sue code tags when pasting to the boards: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fo … s_and_Code

Why is it failing?

sudo systemctl status storage-data.mount

Re: Mounting NFS at boot.

Sorry new to any forum, i guess i should have read the rules: here is the output:

storage-data.mount - /storage/data

Re: Mounting NFS at boot.

My guess would be that it doesn't have network connection when it tries on boot.

Re: Mounting NFS at boot.

I had the same issue and from the reading I did, Hspasta is correct. The options to add to the nfs line are

...noauto,x-systemd.automount...

The latter option will mount the share on first access.

Re: Mounting NFS at boot.

Thank you both, that has been a thorn in my side, adding the below code did the trick.

noauto,x-systemd.automount
