I still need to reproduce this in a normal Debian install, but I have
had similar problems than this with sshfs, in a OSMC (Debian derivative)
install:
https://discourse.osmc.tv/t/how-to-sshfs-tutorial/77852/11
There's an easy workaround for sshfs: the `delay_connect` option delays
network operations until the mountpoint is accessed. It would still be
nice to fix this for sshfs as it will bite novice users pretty badly.
All this leads me to believe this is a bug in systemd, and not NFS. I
wonder if we should reassign this bug to the systemd (or ifupdown?)
package to get more visibility into it (and keep nfs/sshfs as affected).
We'd need an easier way to reproduce this however. Has anyone worked on
getting some virtual machine images up to try and orchestrate a
reproducer for this? That would be ideal but a step-by-step set of
minimal instructions starting from a clean install would be an
acceptable compromise.
Once we have that, we can try to reproduce in buster as well and figure
out if the bug is actually fixed there or not.
Thanks for the bug report!
