Please read the whole text; the problem is when two computers cross-mount
each other's disks. When they are rebooted at the same time and they
arrive to mount -a -t nfs they both block there to wait until other party
gets its mountd running, which of course never happens as mountd is started
after mount -a -t nfs.
