Bug#693549: nfs-kernel-server: NFS Exports with domain names don't load at reboot

[Hugh Davenport <hugh@davenport.net.nz>]

Package: nfs-kernel-server
Version: 1:1.2.2-4squeeze2
Severity: normal


Hi,

Similar to bug #598493.

Setup:
- NFS server with an export that has a DNS name in it
- Separate DNS server
- NFS server has allow-hotplug in /etc/network/interfaces

Problem:
On reboot, the NFS server doesn't have any exports. After reboot,
if you login and run exportfs -r then it will load them fine.

Errors:
exportfs complains that each name in /etc/exports "has non-inet addr"

Temporary Solution:
If you change allow-hotplug to auto in /etc/network/interfaces then
all works fine. Note allow-hotplug is default for fresh installs.

Is there some way to make the init script require that the network device
is up before running exportfs?

Cheers,

Hugh
