Hi,
I added two nfs mounts to my fstab. Upon reboot I noticed mount.nfs attempting to mount these and timing out because it was running before the network was brought up. The network is ifup not network manager. Once logged in to the desktop (OpenSUSE 11.4 and Gnome by the way) the nfs mounts were not present of course.
So I removed the fstab entries and added them via NFS Client in yast. Now upon reboot the same timeout happens while mount.nfs is running before the network comes up but once logged into the desktop the nfs mounts are there.
End result is I’m “up and running” but the mount.nfs timeout is going to bug me and keep me awake at nights. 
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Doug
Try this: add the mounts back into fstab. Then put this line in the file /etc/init.d/after.local:
mount -a
That works for cifs mounts, might just also work for nfs mounts, worth a try.

Why is the network not up at that moment? Investigate that.

NFS mounts should have _netdev in the options field so that they will be mounted when the network comes up.
That did the trick! Thanks.
