Ben,

I know this has been sitting for a long time, for which, apologies.

I am not sure this analysis is quite correct. ASYNCMOUNTNFS just determines
whether /etc/init.d/mountnfs calls the if-up.d/mountnfs hook itself, of waits
for ifupdown to call it after configuring the interface.

        # Using 'no !=' instead of 'yes =' to make sure async nfs
        # mounting is the default even without a value in
        # /etc/default/rcS
        if [ no != "$ASYNCMOUNTNFS" ] ; then
                do_wait_async_mount
        else
                FROMINITD=yes /etc/network/if-up.d/mountnfs
        fi

Unfortunately there are several moving parts here. How are the interfaces
configured in /etc/network/interfaces? Are you running nfsroot?

If this is still an issue and you can answer those it might help.  However, the
detail may now be lost in the mists of time, in which case I will probably close
this.

Thanks

Mark
