Debian 11 - scenarios to Mount NFS Share on Boot with 'No such file or directory' scenarios
I'm following best practices but I'm working with a persistent scenario with my Debian 11 server where it fails to mount an NFS share at boot. The NFS share is located on another server running Ubuntu 20.04, and I've configured the `/etc/fstab` on my Debian machine as follows: ```plaintext 192.168.1.10:/shared_data /mnt/shared nfs defaults 0 0 ``` Despite ensuring that the NFS server is up and accessible, I encounter the behavior `mount.nfs: No such file or directory` during boot. I've tried manually mounting the share using the command `sudo mount -a` after the system has started, and it works without any issues. Additionally, I verified that the NFS service is running on the server by executing `showmount -e 192.168.1.10`, which returns the expected output. I've also updated the `nfs-common` package and adjusted the `timeout` and `retrans` options in the fstab entry: ```plaintext 192.168.1.10:/shared_data /mnt/shared nfs defaults,timeo=14,retrans=3 0 0 ``` However, the question continues at boot. I suspect it might be related to the timing of the NFS service starting before my Debian system attempts to mount the share. Is there a recommended way to ensure the NFS share mounts at boot without triggering this behavior? Any insights or adjustments to the fstab entry would be greatly appreciated. I'm working in a Debian environment. Is there a better approach?
