I do not manage to get a remote directory automatically mounted during bootstrap. I am using the NFS protocol under Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. The server is 192.168.1.1 and the client is 192.168.1.2

The setting in /etc/exports at the server side is

/home/export 192.168.1.2(ro,no_root_squash,sync)

Although the homeuser directory at the client side is, note that all directories mentioned in this post are not encrypted. The server computer is always on, and the two machines can ping each other. Also note that, in both machines, the home directory is mounted on an own partition.

The command line works well and I can see the remote content at the mount point after
sudo mount 192.168.1.1:/home/export /home/import/server1.

I need to launch a sudo mount -a manually to get the view on the server side. This defies my expectations and those from this U&L post as well.

How can I get the auto-mounting capability running on its own feet?

  Have you dug into boot / error logs? There might be useful messages there. Also what kind of network connectivity do you have? I suspect it does not work because your network is not online when the mount is attempted but that's just an educated guess.

If your mount -a option works then you should add _netdev in fstab.

192.168.1.1:/home/export /home/import/server1 nfs defaults,_netdev 0 0

Also make sure for "chkconfig netfs on"

  Nope, unfortunately. After your line I still need to launch sudo mount -a to get the mounting done. Also, chkconfig is no package supported by Ubuntu, if I am not wrong (I myself had launched a sudo service nfs-kernel-server start earlier -- but that's on the server's side anyhow, I believe, while I am struggling at the client's side)
