Bug#679709: freebsd-nfs-common: no timeout for hanging NFS mounts

[Christoph Egger <christoph@debian.org>]

Package: freebsd-nfs-common
Version: 9.0+ds1-5
Severity: important

Hi!

  I have some system here that has some NFS shares in
/etc/fstab. Changing anything on the networking side is incredibly
painfull because the system won't boot without network access (hanging
trying to mount the NFS volumes) which aren't vital for administration
(like userhomes) so I have to remember to comment out NFS mounts
before working on the network side or -- if I forgot to do so -- boot
a live system and comment out the shares so I can boot again. Ideally
the NFS shares would just be skipped after some (potentially large)
timeout.

Regards

    Christoph
