Bug#419195: [Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#419195: initscripts: if-up.d/mountnfs should only run after all interfaces have been brought up at boot; hangs boot

I believe a workaround is to change the order of the interfaces in
/etc/network/interfaces, to list the interfaces needed to NFS mount
first.

I agree that it is not optimal at the moment, but mounting NFS
directories after ifup solve other problems without known workarounds.

You can also avoid the problem by adding 'bg' to the option list,
ending up with an entry like this:

   10.0.1.3:/export/foobar /mnt/foobar nfs rw,hard,intr,bg 0 0
