[SOLVED] NFS doesn't get back online if nfs server delay to start!

Hi there
I have here two PVE server version 6.4-13.
I also have an NFS server v4.
But today, both PVE server was booted up before NFS server get online.
I was expected that PVE just see my NFS online later and mount the appropriate mountpoint, but this never happens!
There is no service check to see if NFS is online or not?
I can see my NFS server via Linux shell:
$ pvesm scan nfs 192.168.100.1
/home/nfs *
$ showmount -e 192.168.100.1
Export list for 192.168.100.1:
/home/nfs *

Here's the storage.cfg:
cat /etc/pve/storage.cfg
dir: local
path /var/lib/vz
content images,backup,iso,rootdir,vztmpl

dir: VMS
path /DATA
content images
prune-backups keep-all=1
shared 1

nfs: NFS
export /home/nfs
path /mnt/pve/NFS
server 192.168.100.1
content images
options vers=4.1
prune-backups keep-all=1

No vm are running at this point, because I think Proxmox just need to check at little time interval, if the NFS server are online or not and if this is the case, mount the /mnt/pve/NFS again.

Very weired.

Thanks for any help.

I have solved this issue. It was some problem with NFS Server. I try to delete this thread but I couldn't.
Thanks any way.
 
Interesting, I have the 'same' issue where if my Proxmox host comes up before the NFS server is ready, the NFS storage is never mounted and remains offline with a question mark indefinitely.

I have to reboot the Proxmox node to get things working again.

What have you done to solve this?
