[solved] NFS share doesn't auto-mount on boot

I have an NFS share which doesn't auto mount on boot. It's in fstab, and it works if I mount it manually after boot, but the systemd process fails every time on boot.

The error messages in dmesg aren't that helpful.

'Failed to mount /mnt/freenas'
'Dependency failed for Remote File System'
'mnt-freenas.mount: Failed with result 'exit-code'

My guess is that the network wasn't up when it tried to mount it.

What can I do to fix this?

Thanks.

What is in your fstab?  Which of these options have you already tried?

Thanks. I read something about the NetworkManager-wait-online.service before, but it was talking about problems with dismounting NFS on shutdown, and didn't seem relevant. This is the solution, though.

sudo systemctl enable NetworkManager-wait-online.service
