Hello Ubuntu Gurus,

I have nfs-kernel-server package installed.
I edited /etc/exports.
I can run "invoke-rc.d nfs-kernel-server start" command, and all works
well. Remote machines can see and mount directories from the NFS server.

But after the NFS server machine is rebooted, for some reason, NFS
directories aren't exported automatically. I can run showmount -e and
get an empty list (as opposed to an error message, which is what I think
you get when NFS isn't running). But I have to log in and type
"exportfs -a" or "invoke-rc.d nfs-kernel-server restart" in order for
the directories to be exported again.

Anyone out there that can clue me in?

This does sound odd. It's probably worth a bug report.

Does /var/log/syslog show anything helpful? Try to examine what happens
during the boot sequence.

I use nfs-user-server on my machines and it works like a charm. Perhaps
you might have more luck with that nfs implementation instead? Obviously
the kernel server should work, too, but it might be worth switching to
workaround the problem.
