Do your IPv4 NFS mounts have the same behavior? > [fd53::11]:/srv/example /home/example/foo nfs > _netdev 0 0 On my systems, the options field contains "defaults,_netdev" and possibly a few other things. I don't know whether that matters. If you add an entry to /etc/hosts for this NFS server, and mount the share by hostname, does that change anything? > I have another case in which machines need to be connected to a > particular VLAN to mount home directories.

I want these shares either mounted, like through like 3 > retries, or booting to stop when they can't be mounted. I do not know how to allow a specific number of retries. Not without writing your own hacked-up shell scripts, at least.
