I have an NAS device and mount several directories on it via entries in /etc/fstab :-
# NFSnumber0:/projects /home/carl/number0/projects nfs rw 0 0number0:/carl /home/carl/number0/stuff nfs rw 0 0number0:/Qmultimedia /home/carl/Music nfs rw 0 0number0:/Photos /home/carl/Pictures nfs rw 0 0Recently (possibly since an update although I'm not sure), the NFS shares are not mounting on bootup, and I have to mount them with sudo mount -a.
As I've used the same fstab entries since Ubuntu 10.04 (maybe earlier), I suspect that there has been some change to the fstab standard that I no longer comply with.
There are numerous questions on AU about NFS not automounting but all relate to much older versions of Ubuntu, apart from this one, which does not seem relevant.
Edit: the output of sudo zegrep -w nfs /var/log/* is
